A cured cooked ham can typically be left unrefrigerated for up to 2 hours, as long as the ambient temperature is below 90°F (32°C). If the temperature exceeds this, it should not be left out for more than 1 hour. After these time limits, the risk of bacterial growth increases significantly, making it unsafe to consume. For longer storage, it's best to refrigerate or freeze the ham.

Generally, cooked ham should not be left out for more than two hours, while uncooked ham should be refrigerated or frozen to ensure safety. It's always best to store ham properly to prevent spoilage.
