Preheat the oven to 325°F. To heat the ham, place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, and bake uncovered. For a whole ham, allow 15 to 18 minutes to the pound; for a half, 18 to 24 minutes per pound. The ham will be ready when the internal temperature reaches 140°F.

How long do you cook ham at 350?

If you’re starting with a fully cooked city ham, bake it in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes per pound. If your ham is only partially cooked, bake it for 20 minutes per pound. To help keep your ham moist and juicy, place the ham cut-side down in a baking pan and tent it with foil.

Do you have to cover ham with aluminum foil?

Whole hams should be cooked fat-side up. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 275˚F for approximately 15 minutes per pound, until heated through (see chart). It’s important that you don’t overheat it in the oven or your ham could end up dry instead of juicy.

Do you wrap the whole ham in foil?

Tightly wrap and seal the ham with foil so none of the juices escape. Place the ham in a baking pan and cook for approximately 20 to 25 minutes per pound, or follow the directions on the package for cooking times. A fully cooked ham will be done when the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F to 140 degrees F.

When should you glaze a ham?

In most cases, you will want to glaze the ham during the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking. If you glaze it sooner, the sugar in the glaze could cause it to burn. You will need at least 1 cup of glaze for every 5 to 10 pounds of ham.

Can you brine a ham too long?

Once the ham is cured, you’ll want to give it a soak to rinse off the brine, and how long you do this can affect how salty your meat is. I prefer just a quick dunk, but you can leave it for as long as 24 hours, which will produce what I’ll call a low-sodium ham. It’s still pink, and flavorful, but barely salty.

How long does it take to cook a ham at 225 degrees?

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Place ham in a roasting pan. Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, about 10 hours. If ham begins to darken at that point, cover with aluminum foil.

How can you tell if ham is cooked?

If you do wish to reheat a cooked ham, bake at 325°F until a food thermometer inserted into the ham reads an internal temperature of 140°F. For raw and fresh ham, bake at 325°F until a food thermometer inserted into the meat reads 145°F.

Can you eat dry cured ham Raw?

Dry-curing with salt helps prevent bacterial growth, making the hams safe to eat uncooked. Since country hams have always been cooked in the Southern states where they are cured, most country-ham producers do not consider them ready-to-eat meat like prosciutto.
