How long does it take ham to spoil?

There is no way that any one can tell you when the ham will actually be spoiled. Potentially hazardous food should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Less time is better.

People constantly ask for some type of verification that the food they eat will not make them ill. That is nearly impossible to do without bacteriological and chemical tests, so all we can do is provide guidelines, like:

* Handle food in a sanitary manner (wash hands, clean & sanitize food-contact surfaces, protect from cross-contamination, package & store properly) * Keep potentially hazardous food either hot or cold and cook and reheat thoroughly, and * Use it within a reasonable time. In the end, you are responsible for what you feed yourself and your family. This adage has truth to it: When in doubt, throw it out.

Another Answer:

If you keep it well sealed and refrigerated at a pretty cold temperature you can keep it there up to two weeks. If you keep it for one week in the fridge and then put it in the freezer in several packages it will be kept safe for a long time. Thaw it out in the fridge or by running hot water over the package (not the meat). Do not thaw it out in the microwave. It will dry out and lose its softness and taste.

Spiral cut is the BEST. You get perfect thicknesses and you can divide it up into packages to freeze. I put away six slices each in my freezer bags.

I made a great soup with it too. I thawed out one pkg. I put the ham into my Cuisinart and had the ham chopped into small pieces. I put it into my noodle, carrot, onion and natural chicken broth soup. Don't salt the soup too much because there is salt in the ham. Even honey ham is good in the soup.

Microwave pre-cooked ham?

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.
