Meats are kept better in the freezer. Meats can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days if raw and 1 to 2 days longer if cooked. Always place cooked meats in an airtight container.
how long to cook a fully cooked ham shank portion..cover or uncovered?
If it's fully cooked you can either cook it long enough to heat it up, or just eat it cold.
one day and one night only afterwards throe it in the bin because it'll stink
That depends on the difference between "fully cooked" and "has been cooked." If it's similar to "your goose is cooked" then no.
The way to know if cooked ham is bad is by how long it has been in the fridge or freezer. In the fridge, cooked ham can last 7 to 10 days. In the freezer, it will last 6 to 8 months. Cooked ham that is bad will also develop a bad smell and may appear slimy to the touch.
Up to 2 years.
Ham should be good 4 to 5 days refrigerated.
A Dinner Bell ham can be bought fully cooked and just needs to be heated thoroughly. This can be done in about half an hour for an average sized ham.
You can cook almost anything in one, so yes you can put ham in a pressure cooker.
Until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees
Yes you can, if you think of frozen pizza that has cooked ham on it, same situation. However, ham should be defrosted fully in the fridge.
It depends on how long you want to keep it (and how long it'll be before you need it). You can freeze it but remember if it's a whole ham, it will take awhile to freeze and also awhile to defrost. A ham will keep for about a week in the refrigerator and longer if you've got it in an airtight seal.
