I'm gonna dispose of a cheapo water injected ham I got on sale for
pennies on the dollar. I know it's fulla water cuz I cooked one
before in my "big orange". Musta yielded up 3-4 C water. Still, took
2-3 hrs. I figure since the sucker is so fulla water in the first
place, can't hurt p/c'ing it to speed up the cooking time. Not like
it's gonna dry out. Anyone ever done a cheapo sponge-bob ham in a
p/c?

I've done that before; it works well.

Must confess to never having tried the PC strategy. The water hams do great on the smoker. Can turn them into the hit of the party very easily. Just stick them in the smoke till they hit 160. Its a tasty reheat job. Commonly called a Twice Smoked Ham amongst the outdoorsy cooking type folks.

Are you cooking it or just heating it? If you're just heating it, I
would expect that the pressure cooking would make the meat "more tender"
-- likely to fall apart when you try to slice it. If you're just
heating it, why not do it in the oven? Will still take some time,
depending on its size.

As opposed to you, who always has plenty of it to spread around?
