My Mom used to always boil her ham. It is Mother's day today and I was just looking up how long to boil my 9lb one. What I found was that for every 10lbs it takes 4hrs of gentle boiling. It also suggests to skim the water off frequently and to cover the pot and that the liquid should be 3 inches over the ham. Once done boiling, it suggests to put it in the oven, I'm guessing @ 350 and bake for 1/2 hr. Last time I boiled a ham for a super bowl party, I used a 1/2 part of coke or pepsi and 1/2 part water. It gave a little sweeter taste. I then made a glaze of mustard and brown sugar and brushed it over the ham and baked it for 1/2hr. All the guys wanted to know who made the ham. Hope this helps you out!!! Oh, I did the math for you and your 8lb ham would take 3hr and 12min to boil.
It will be safe to eat provided you are boiling or roasting it.
To warm a ham effectively without drying it out, cover it with foil and heat it in the oven at a low temperature, around 275F. This will help retain moisture and prevent the ham from drying out.
This depends on the recipe. Some require there be a lid and others do not. For a juicier ham place a lid on.
To cook a delicious ham in a roaster oven, preheat the oven to the recommended temperature on the ham packaging. Place the ham in the roaster oven and cover it with foil. Cook the ham for the recommended time based on its weight, basting it occasionally with its juices. Let the ham rest before slicing and serving for the best flavor.
We cure some of our hams in brine and some with dry cure. Both displace the water with salt which makes an inhospitible environment for most bacteria. This is a recipe for storing ham for long periods, not for consumption. We pull a ham for cooking at least two days before we need it for cooking. The ham will spend two days in the fridge, in a cold pot of water that is changed out twice a day. This leaches out the salt and makes the ham ready for baking or any other use. Salt is strictly for preservation. Get rid of it for consumption. Depending on what you are going to use the ham for, you can add brown sugar to the last change of water for baking, lemon juice for boiling (makes really nice sandwich ham), honey or maple syrup are nice no matter how you fix the ham.
To cook a ham in a roaster, preheat the roaster to the desired temperature. Place the ham in the roaster and cover it with foil. Cook the ham until it reaches the recommended internal temperature, usually around 140-160F. Let it rest before slicing and serving.
