Many people think the sole difference between bone-in ham versus boneless ham is simply that one has bones while the other does not. However, you will find that bone-in ham and boneless ham vary in flavor, texture and preparation.

  • Bone-in ham has a superior taste and texture because the natural muscle, fat and bones are undisturbed.
  • Bone-in ham has a natural appearance, texture and flavor because the muscles are left undisturbed.
  • With only simple heating required, several of Cook's bone-in hams take only minutes to prepare and serve. In addition, Cook's labels provide simple carving instructions. Or, if you prefer, there is a Cook's spiral sliced ham, which virtually eliminates the need for carving because they already come pre-sliced in a spiral fashion.
  • The natural, undisturbed muscles of a bone-in ham allow you to shred the ham for use as a recipe ingredient.
  • The leftover bones from a bone-in ham are ideal ingredients for soups or bean dishes.
