    Season and sear your ham steaks! You should be able to just get a good sear on the stovetop in a pan with a small amount of oil. You want to cook it for about 5 minutes on either side.

    Yes. They usually come pre-cooked so you are basically just warming it up. Cook on normal setting for five minutes or so on a deep plate with a small amount of water in the bottom. Cook longer for thicker steaks.
