Cook fresh pork to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Fresh pork cooked to medium doneness as measured with a food thermometer may still be pale pink inside but will be safe.
Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 185 degrees. Using a meat thermometer is the safest (and easiest) way to make sure it is thoroughly cooked.
how long to cook a fully cooked ham shank portion..cover or uncovered?
fully cooked....140 degrees/4.5hrs bone in.... 160 degrees/3.5hrs
That depends on the difference between "fully cooked" and "has been cooked." If it's similar to "your goose is cooked" then no.
Until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees
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.
For an uncooked ham the temperature needs to be 160 degrees. Personally, I find that removing the ham from the oven when the temperature reaches 155 degrees, and letting the ham rest for 15 minutes produces a better product. The internal temperature will rise the extra 5 degrees while resting and allows the juices to become more evenly distributed. If the ham is partially or fully cooked, the internal temperature need only be raised to 135 - 140 degrees.
For pre-cooked ham, you need an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. For a non pre-cooked ham, you should cook it until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
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.

If it's fully cooked you can either cook it long enough to heat it up, or just eat it cold.
ham being meat an also greasy pork i would say an upset stomach, but also depending on what kind of ham could change the effects, like ham steak has 7 to 8 grams of fiber so the combination of grease and fiber could cause diarrhea.
Ready to cook means that the ham has already been partially cooked, but still needs to cook before eating. If a ham shank is "Ready to Eat" this means that the ham is fully cooked and can be eaten right out of the package.
