Spiral Sliced Ham
To heat or glaze your Cook's Spiral Sliced Ham prior to serving, we recommend
the following instructions for best results. Improper heating or overheating tends
to dry out the ham.
HEATING HAM
Preheat oven to 275°F. Remove all packaging materials and place ham face down
directly into baking dish or roasting pan. (Place whole ham on its side.) Cover tightly
with lid, foil or place in cooking bag and heat at 275°F for approximately 12-15 minutes
per pound. (Estimated heating times: Half ham--approx. 2 hours; Whole ham--approx. 3 hours.)
NOTE: If you intend to glaze ham, remove ham from oven 10 minutes before end of heating
time recommended above. Follow "Glazing Ham" instructions below.
GLAZING HAM
Remove ham from oven 10 minutes before end of heating time recommended above. Open
glaze packet and brush half of the contents on surface of the ham (see tips below). If
ham was placed in cooking bag, carefully cut bag open and pull away from ham, then apply
glaze. Heat glazed ham uncovered for 10 minutes at 275°F. Remove ham from oven. Heat
remaining glaze in microwave safe dish for 40 seconds and serve with ham.
GLAZE PREPARATION TIPS
Glaze may be applied directly from packet. We recommend that the refrigerated glaze
packet be warmed slightly in one of the following ways to help soften the contents prior
to application: Microwave: place packet in small microwave safe dish and warm on
high for 40 seconds. Warm Water: hold glaze packet under warm tap
water for 40 seconds or until glaze is softened.
