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.

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.
