How do you cook previously cooked ham
- Cooking instructions can be found on the label. The label should say “fully cooked” or “cooked before serving”.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large roasting pan, place ham on a rack and pour about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water.
- If the ham is marked “fully cooked” (meaning it doesn’t need to be heated), heat it in the oven for about 10 minutes per pound, or until it reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat the spirally sliced ham cut-side down on a sheet of heavy-duty foil. Wrap the ham securely in foil and bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer is placed in the thickest part of the meat, not touching the bone, and registers 140 degrees.
- If the ham is marked “cooked before serving,” heat it to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F in an oven not lower than 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place ham in a large slow cooker and add about 1 cup ginger ale, cola, stock, or water (if available). Heat the ham on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until it reaches 140°F (for a “fully cooked” ham) or 145°F (for a “cook before serving” ham).
How to improve the flavor of cheap ham
- Preheat oven to 3250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the ham from the oven and place it on a cutting board to wrap.
- Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in a cross-hatch pattern. (If the ham has fat, cut through the fat, but not into the meat.)
- 1 clove should be inserted into each square formed by the cross-hatched cut.
- In a roasting pan, place the ham.
- Over the ham, pour the beer.
- Put the exposed ham in the oven. Preheat oven to 350F and bake for 30 minutes.
- While the ham is cooking with the beer, combine the pineapple juice with the brown sugar.
- Remove ham from oven, drain beer and juices (and discard).
- Over the ham, pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the pineapple juice and brown sugar mixture.
- Return the ham to the oven and bake another 15 minutes per pound.
- Raise the oven temperature to 4250 degrees for the last 45 minutes of baking, applying the remaining glaze every 15 minutes. Make sure the pan doesn’t get too dry. Fill the pan with water if necessary.
- Remove cloves from oven and discard.
- Cut, serve, taste!
What’s the best way to keep precooked ham moist
The aluminum foil should cover the ham tightly. There should be no steam escaping from the pan. The steam cooks the meat while still keeping it moist. Make sure you get long metal heavy duty foil, as cheap, fragile, short aluminum foil won’t adequately cover the ham.

Is it necessary to reheat a fully cooked ham
Fully cooked ready-to-eat hams (sometimes called “city hams”) do not need to be reheated. It can be cut and eaten cold or at room temperature.
How long should a fully cooked ham be heated
In a roasting pan, place ham on a rack. Fill the pot halfway with water and cover tightly with a lid or foil. Preheat oven to 325F and bake for 15 to 18 minutes per pound, or until meat thermometer reads 140F. While the ham is cooking, coat it with oil to add moisture and flavor. Turn on ham, line, and glaze; increase heat to 400°F and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until glaze is polished.
How long does it take for precooked ham to cook
According to USDA regulations, precooked ham should be baked at 325 degrees per pound for 10 minutes, or until it reaches 145 degrees. If you’re reheating repackaged or leftover ham, make sure it’s at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
How long should 10 pounds of precooked ham be cooked
Cooking temperature and time for precooked and bone-in hams: If the ham is half ham and weighs 5 to 7 pounds, it should be heated at 325F for 18-24 minutes per pound. If the ham weighs 10 to 14 pounds, heat the ham at 325F for 15-18 minutes per pound.
Is it necessary to glaze the ham
In most cases, you should glaze the ham within the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking. If you glaze it too quickly, the sugar in the glaze will burn it. For every 5 to 10 pounds of ham, you need at least 1 cup of the glaze.
