How do you reheat spiral ham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a very basic way to defrost a ham. All you have to do is fill your sink up with luke-warm water enough to submerge the ham. You don't want really hot water because this will actually start to cook the ham. Just let the ham sit over night in the water and it should be ready to cook in the morning.

Do you have to freeze your ham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how long you want to keep it (and how long it'll be before you need it). You can freeze it but remember if it's a whole ham, it will take awhile to freeze and also awhile to defrost. A ham will keep for about a week in the refrigerator and longer if you've got it in an airtight seal.

Microwave pre-cooked ham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Slice it first. Then arrange slices on a microwavable plate and lay out the slices in a lengthwise circle. Leave the center empty. That is how microwaves cook.

Add layers on top of each other until you have the amount you want to heat. Cover it with another microwavable plate. Wax paper, plastic wrap, paper towel, kitchen napkins. It will heat much better if you use glass on top and bottom. Or two plates.

Try a couple of minutes. Test. You will begin to realize it will only take about five minutes.

NOTE*** MEAT of ANY TYPE will always turn out better using glass cookware with a top and bottom that keeps moisture in.

Is ham kosher?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ham is sold in Israel, but not everywhere. Back in July of 2007 the seaside municipality of Netanya, Israel's 8th largest city, has banned the sale of pig meat in residential and tourist areas. The "other thing," as pig meat is often known in Judaism, may be sold only in two outlying industrial zones. Then again the Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit intends to revoke the Netanya city council's decision to ban the sale of pork products in the city. In Netanya alone 70 stores specialize in pork products. I believe it varies city to city, but generally you can buy ham/pork/bacon in about any majoy city you travel through.

Generally deli products can last for a few months if they're not open from their original package. Once opened, the items can easily spoil in a matter of a week or less. I would say you have approximately 3-5 days depending on refrigeration.

How long can vacuum sealed ham be stored in the refrigerator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it's packed in a vacuum sealed can, such as an Armour Star Ham, it will last an incredibly long time. The can is dated, but WW1 canned rations were opened not so long ago, and were as edible as the day they were packed - and this was with early 20th century canning methods which are inferior to today's! However, if the can is dented the canned food shouldn't be kept for long. Also, if the can is bloated it should be discarded immediately.

If you freeze a vacuum sealed ham (plastic wrapped and airtight) it should last at least a year if kept frozen below 10 degrees Fahrenheit - but below 0 degrees is ideal for the longest storage.
