What is how long to cook a spiral ham?

Here's information on how long to cook a spiral ham:

The cooking time for a spiral ham depends primarily on its weight and whether it's pre-cooked or not. Most spiral hams are pre-cooked and only need to be heated through.

• Pre-cooked Spiral Ham: Aim for heating the ham to an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). As a general rule, plan on about 10-15 minutes per pound. Use a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Meat%20Thermometer">meat thermometer</a> to ensure accurate cooking and avoid over-drying.

• Uncooked Spiral Ham: Cooking times for uncooked spiral hams will be significantly longer. It's recommended to cook an uncooked ham to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Refer to the ham's packaging for specific instructions, but generally, it will require approximately 15-20 minutes per pound.

  Regardless of whether the ham is pre-cooked or uncooked, it's important to follow food safety guidelines:

• Always use a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Meat%20Thermometer">meat thermometer</a> to ensure the ham reaches the safe internal temperature.

• Tent the ham with foil during cooking to prevent it from drying out, but remove the foil during the last 20-30 minutes to allow the glaze to set and the skin to slightly crisp.

• Let the ham rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.

Note: These are general guidelines. Always refer to the specific instructions provided on the packaging of your spiral ham.
