What should the internal temperature of a baked ham be?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Ham is actually smoked pork, and It has been precooked. When you cook it basically all you are doing is heating it up to a temperature you prefer before you eat it. If you would like to cook it to a certain temperature the magic number is 180 degrees. At that temp all bacteria dies

Answer 3

For precooked ham, the internal temperature should be 140 degrees F. For a non pre-cooked ham, you should cook it until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. The label should specify the correct internal temperature.

Answer 4

If the ham has been pre-cooked, you need to heat it to 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.

Answer 5

People often get confused about smoked ham. Smoked hams are fully cooked already. You only need to heat the ham before you eat it. If you like cold ham, you do not even have to heat it. To be sure about the ham you have, read the label, it will say if it is fully cooked.

Answer 6

170 degrees on a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part of the ham

Answer 7

The internal temperature of a precooked ham should be 140 degrees F. For a non precooked ham, the internal temperature should reach 160 degrees F.
