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.
Yeah...
Smoking does cook the food. "Ready to cook" means you do not have to wash away any salt or other preservative before preparing it.
how long to cook a fully cooked ham shank portion..cover or uncovered?
I just cooked a cooks shank ham last night and it was gross. It's just about all fat with lots of tendon layers. Ive heard that the butt is fatty too. I will never make a shank again. Use spiral ham or a whole boneless ham for casseroles. If you cook the whole boneless ham for about 3 hours at 325, it will give your casseroles a better flavor and it wont be as chewy.
Put the shank into a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil, turn heat down so water is simmering, skim of any scum from the surface, simmer for about 2 hours, top up water to make sure it always covers the shank. Leave the shank in the water to cool.
You should cook a ham at a temperature of 325F.

A cured ham is a ham that is ready to eat.
If it's fully cooked you can either cook it long enough to heat it up, or just eat it cold.
The recommended temperature to cook ham is 325F (163C).
