Baking a 20 pound uncooked bone in ham: Romeve all skin leaving only 1/4 inch fat on ham. Place fat side up in pan (on a rack allows for more even cooking but isn't neccessary). I score the fat, place whole cloves in the slices and pinapple rings on top. Then while cooking I bruchj the ham with a mixture if brown sugar and mustar. I don't measure I just mix them together until I like the way it tastes. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and cook for 25 minutes per pound. Put it in before you go to bed at night and wake up to a wonderful smell. Good Luck!
13-15 hours is what I use for a 20 pound ham
For optimal results, bake a ham at 325F for about 15-20 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 140F.
Around 350 - 375 depending on the size of the ham.
On 450 degress, about 4 hours. Ham of that size take a very long time. SURROUND IT IN FOIL!!!!!!!!!!! Bake at 325 degrees for about 3 til 4 hours checking it periodically to make sure it's not drying out. Cover ham with tin foil. I always like to marinate my ham with Liquid Smoke & honey on ham & it always turns out very juicy & delicious. Last year I decided to do a test just to see what would happen if I baked a ham at 20 minutes per pound, needless to say the ham was so dry it was pathetic, DO NOT BAKE HAM FOR 20 MIN PER POUND. This was a test to prove some people wrong & once again I was right on how long a ham should bake.
60 minutes you bake ham 20 minutes per pound
20 minutes for every pound
If the ham is already 'cooked' then you do not need to cook it again, you can slice it and eat cold with salad or in a sandwich, or you can warm it through and eat with fried eggs, or my favourite is with boiled new potatoes and parsley sauce.
Take a wood smoker fill the pan with applewood or cherry fill the water pan with a shot of lemon and a shot of liquid smoke. A twenty pound han is large so it will take a long time and will need to be done slowly, you can not be a in a huryy with a large item like this.
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.
To heat up ham in the oven, preheat the oven to 325F, place the ham in a baking dish, cover it with foil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 140F. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Baking times for ham depend on its size and whether it's precooked or raw. For a precooked ham, heat it in the oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 10-15 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). For a raw ham, bake it at the same temperature for about 18-20 minutes per pound, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Always let the ham rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
How long do I cook a precooked ham? It is 15 lbs. A precooked ham does not have to be cooked, but will taste better if you heat it thoroughly to an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) or so. Place the ham in a 325°F oven (163°C). It will take 12 to 15 minutes per pound for a whole or boneless ham and 18 to 20 minutes per pound for a half ham.
