How long to cook a fresh ham butt portion around 10 pounds?

It's best to cook a 10-pound fresh ham butt in a slow cooker for a minimum of 6-8 hours on low. This will ensure that the ham is cooked through and tender.

Here's a breakdown:

* Low setting: 6-8 hours

* High setting: 3-4 hours

Important Tips:

* Temperature: Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

* Bone-In or Boneless: Boneless hams tend to cook faster, so you might need to adjust the cooking time.

* Size and Shape: A larger or thicker ham may require a longer cooking time.

* Oven: You can also cook a ham in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 15-20 minutes per pound. However, slow cooking is generally recommended for a more tender result.

Note: It's always better to err on the side of caution and cook for a little longer than you think you need. You can always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.

Enjoy your delicious ham!
