Do you cover the smoked cooked ham when cooking?

You should not cover a smoked cooked ham when cooking it.

Here's why:

* Moisture: Covering the ham can trap moisture, which can lead to steaming rather than baking. This can result in a soggy ham.

* Flavor: Uncovering the ham allows for the natural sugars and fats to caramelize and develop a crispy, flavorful crust.

* Even Cooking: Covering the ham can create uneven cooking as the steam trapped underneath can make the top of the ham cook slower than the bottom.

Here's how to cook a smoked cooked ham:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Place the ham in a roasting pan.

3. Score the fat. This helps the fat render and gives you a nice crispy skin.

4. Add a glaze, if desired.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

6. Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your delicious ham!
