How do I know when my ham is done?

How do you know if a ham is done? A ham is ready to heat when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 145 degrees F. Your thermometer should not be touching any bone, as this will produce an inaccurate reading.

Can I Recook undercooked ham?

One way to do that is to put it in a roasting pan, add some water or other liquid, and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Then put it in the oven at 325 for about 15 minutes per pound, or until thermometer tells you it's at 135. Let it rest for about 10-20 minutes before serving.

Why is ham always pre cooked?

A pre-cooked ham is just as the name suggests. It has been completely cooked either by baking, curing or smoking and in the hands of the home cook, simply has to be re-heated to an appetizing serving temperature so that its flavor is at its best.

Should I cook a ham covered or uncovered?

Ham is best reheated low and slow, and heating it uncovered means that the moisture in the ham evaporates, leaving it dry and unappetizing. → Follow this tip: Place the ham cut-side down in a baking pan. Cover the ham with foil or use a baking bag to heat up the ham until it's time to glaze.

Do you cook a ham fat-side up or down?

Preheat oven to 275˚F. Remove all packaging materials and place ham in a shallow roasting pan. Quarter and half hams should be cooked flat/face-side down. Whole hams should be cooked fat-side up.
