Approximately 45 to 60 depending on the type of lean ham.
About 100 pounds. Plan for 4 oz. per person which is 1/4 pound each.
Assuming that the slices are of equal mass - unlikely with a real ham - the mass will be 40 grams per slice.
About 100 pounds. Plan for 4 oz. per person which is 1/4 pound each.
A precooked ham is already cooked and needs only to be heated to a desired temperature, if it is wanted to serve it hot. As a precooked item, it can be sliced and served cold.
From what I've researched, it seems that you should count on 2 servings per pound, so for 30 people, you will need a 15 pound ham. If you want leftovers though, you should go bigger (that is for bone-in ham).
This can depend on the age blend of people coming for the dinner. Half young children under 12, the other half adults. 4-6 oz. of edible meat should be enough. Generally, holiday dinners offer a big spread so you may not need as much of the entree. If the ham is a half and has the bone, deduct about one pound from the weight. Deduct another pound if the end is an uncut shank that you may not want to serve at the dinner. If the group is all adult go for the larger portion amount. So often people feel they need to serve at least 8oz./person and then they have a lot of left over. Hopefully you know your group.
I used to work at a deli and the rule of thumb was 1/2 pound per person.
You should cook a spiral sliced ham for 20 minutes per pound at 325 degrees F. A great recipe: Place ham in roasting pan. Cover with pineapple juice. Cover with tin foil and refrigerate overnight. To cook, pour off pineapple juice and mix in 1/2 cup honey and a few tablespoons of brown sugar. Mix well and pour over ham. Cover with tin foil and bake at 150 - 200 degrees F for 6 to 8 hours. Your ham will be tender, juicy and delicious.
The usual rule of thumb is 1/2lb per person. I Bought a 12 pounder for 10 people here in Korea last month and that was wayyy more than enough. Had plenty of extra for yummy samiches :)
I have researched this and you should provide about 4 oz of lunch meat and 3 oz of cheese per person. For heartier appetites you buy ham and turkey then you can reduce the meat to 3 oz each per person 3 oz of ham and 3 oz of turkey Hope that helps.
Since the ham is already fully cooked, you only need to heat it up to the desired temperature which takes about ten minutes per pound. Oven at 350 degrees. 160 degrees is the serving temperature for ham served on a plate. Sandwich slices of ham, spiral sliced hams for example, are good hot or cold, so you can knock that cooking time down to 5-7 minutes per pound for ham sammies.
