if the ham has been opened (ie:no longer air-tight) it can be left in the fridge for 3-4 days. if it has not been opened yet, it's good until the "use by" or "sell by" date. I can't eat an entire ham by myself before it goes bad, so what I do is open it, cut it into sections and wrap them in foil & freeze. If I take a section from the freezer, it must be eaten within 3-4 days.
Then cook it.
though precooked, it is best when baked usually at 18 minutes per pound. it is safe to eat but would not taste as good.
do not cook it is precooked. heat at 350 for 20 min/lb
A precooked ham is already cooked and needs only to be heated to a desired temperature, if it is wanted to serve it hot. As a precooked item, it can be sliced and served cold.
You can, but I don't see why you would want to cook a precooked ham. If you want to add more flavor, try a glaze and baking it in the oven rather than cooking it again. Also, by cooking it in liquid in a crock pot you may lose some of the smoked flavour.
all precooked hams are labeled as precooked..just need heating... otherwise, an uncooked ham has a clear wrapping and is labeled as uncooked
It is pre-cooked....so you don't have to cook it at all. You may eat it cold. If you prefer to eat it warm or hot you may warm in microwave or oven. The best way to heat a ham in the oven is to place it in a glass dish and cover the top of it with tinfoil...then bake at 350 degrees. The amount of time to bake is based on how warm or hot you want the ham. Cook it to your desired temp and serve.
well, to cook a PREcooked ham you have to sit on the ham for atleast 3 days and 47 minutes although it may help if you fertilise the ham with your natural feaces, or juices (yes that includes sperm) every 15 minutes.
It is not necessary to cook a pre-cooked ham. A pre-cooked ham is good at room temperature, so you can leave it set out for an hour before serving. However, if you do decide to heat up your pre-cooked ham, just make sure you wrap it in tin foil, and watch it closely because you don't want your ham to dry out.
why would you want to cook something twice ?? just cut off a piece and put it in the microwave
how to thaw a 1lbs spiral ham
How long do I cook a precooked ham? It is 15 lbs. A precooked ham does not have to be cooked, but will taste better if you heat it thoroughly to an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) or so. Place the ham in a 325°F oven (163°C). It will take 12 to 15 minutes per pound for a whole or boneless ham and 18 to 20 minutes per pound for a half ham.
