What temperature do you cook a smoked ham?

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) for a bone-in ham and 325°F (163°C) for a boneless ham.

Cooking Times:

1. Bone-in ham: Estimate about 18-20 minutes per pound (450-454g).

2. Boneless ham: Estimate about 14-16 minutes per pound (450-454g).

Cooking Instructions:

1. Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan, cut-side down, if applicable.

2. Add about ¼ cup of water or liquid (apple cider, pineapple juice, etc.) to the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching.

3. Cover the ham tightly with foil to help keep it moist during cooking.

4. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast the ham for the calculated amount of time.

5. Check the internal temperature of the ham using a meat thermometer. The ham is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for bone-in hams and 160°F (71°C) for boneless hams.

Glazing and Browning:

1. If you want to glaze your ham, prepare the glaze of your choice.

2. Remove the ham from the oven about 15-20 minutes before the estimated cook time.

3. Uncover the ham and carefully spread the glaze over its surface.

4. If you prefer a darker glaze, return the ham to the oven uncovered and continue to cook for a few more minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent overcooking.

Remember, cooking times may vary slightly based on the size, shape, and bone structure of the ham, as well as your individual oven. If you have a digital meat thermometer, it's best to rely on its reading to ensure the ham reaches its proper internal temperature.
