FAQs

How do you heat up a honey baked ham? ›

Heating Your Ham

Place the whole or half ham in a preheated 260° oven for 10 min. per pound. Just heat through (do not bake) as your ham is fully cooked. For microwave heating consult your microwave instruction manual.

After curing, our hams spend up to 24 hours smoking—at least twice as long as the industry standard—over a select blend of hardwood chips. The long smoking process gives Honey Baked Ham its rich, smoky flavor our customers love.

Should honey baked ham be heated? You do not have to heat a fully cooked honey baked ham. However, many people enjoy it warm.

The goal is to reheat the ham without drying it out. The best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil. Bake at 325F for 16-20 minutes per pound, until a meat thermometer registers 135F.

Pre-Cooked and Bone-In Ham

If the ham is a half ham weighing five to seven pounds, it should heat at 325°F for 22-25 minutes per pound. If it is a whole ham weighing between 10 to 14 pounds, heat the ham at 325°F for 18-20 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be 140°F.

But all that succulent pork can be expensive. HoneyBaked Ham's 7-pound bone-in ham is priced at $100, while a boneless 3-pounder is $80. So we wanted to find out whether spending that much was really worth it.

Honey Baked Ham and Turkey Breasts are fully-cooked and ready to enjoy when picked up at your nearest HoneyBaked store or shipped directly to your home. HoneyBaked Ham® and Turkey Breasts are best served directly from the refrigerator – simply thaw and they're ready for the table.

Assuming you are going to serve your baked ham with a few sides, I would estimate about ¾ pound of bone-in ham per person. So, a 10-pound bone-in honey glazed ham will serve 13 people.

The answer, in short, is if it is cured, smoked or baked, ham is considered “pre-cooked,” and would not technically need to be cooked. This includes the ham that is purchased at the deli.

Which is better, bone-in or boneless ham? ›

A bone-in ham makes for a great visual presentation on the table, and is perfect for carving. And it's not just there for show — a ham bone is an excellent starter for flavorful soups and stocks. Boneless hams are easier to carve, and better suited for sandwiches. There's no real difference in flavor or texture.

How To Store Leftover Honey Baked Ham. If you happen to have ham leftovers, refrigerate the ham and eat the ham within five days. Keep a whole ham tightly wrapped or store slices in an airtight container.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ham is good for three to five days in the refrigerator after it is cooked. If you need more time to use up those leftovers, ham will last up to two months in the freezer. The USDA also recommends wrapping up leftovers well.

You're going to want to bake until it's 140° in the center (this should take 10 to 12 minutes per pound). Here are a few of our other top tips for cooking your spiral ham: — How to cook your spiral ham without drying it out.

To reheat a spiral-sliced ham in a conventional oven, cover the entire ham or portion with heavy aluminum foil and heat at 325 °F for about 10 minutes per pound. Individual slices may also be warmed in a skillet or microwave.

Reheat – Take the ham out of the fridge 2 hours prior. Cover loosely with baking/parchment paper then loosely with foil. Reheat in a 130°C oven for 2 hours or until the centre of the ham registers 60°C/140°F (or a skewer inserted into the middle is hot).
