Cook and Care
UPON RECEIPT:
Your ham has been flash frozen to lock in natural flavor, ships with dry ice in a recyclable Styrofoam cooler and may arrive frozen or partially thawed. Please refrigerate or re-freeze upon receipt.
STORAGE:
Spiral hams may be refrigerated for up to 7 days or frozen for 3 months and still maintain maximum flavor.
THAWING:
Under Refrigeration: Allow approximately 5 hours per pound to thaw a spiral ham in the refrigerator. Our spiral hams are fully cooked and by using this method may be refrozen without additional cooking.
Quicker Cold Water Bath: For faster thawing, place ham in a leak proof plastic bag and immerse it in cold water. (If the bag leaks, bacteria from the air or surrounding environment could be introduced into the food. Tissues can also absorb water like a sponge, resulting in a watery product.) Check the water frequently to be sure it stays cold. Change the water every 30 minutes. Approximate thawing time for a ham is approximately 30 minutes per pound.
HEATING:
Please note - we have changed our heating instructions to enhance the cooked product quality (more moist, less dry). Preheat oven to 275°F. Remove all packaging materials and place ham in a shallow roasting pan. Half hams should be cooked flat/face side down. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 275°F for approximately 15 minutes per pound, until heated through. Do not overcook! Remove ham from oven and let stand 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
GLAZING:
This ham is pre-glazed and does not require additional instructions for glaze preparation.
CARVING:
Cut along the natural seam on the top (as it faces you), extending knife point as far back into the ham as you wish to remove slices and then down and to the left, parallel to the bone, exiting at the natural seam. Then make a second cut along the top (where the first section was removed) parallel to the bone, around to the right and exiting at the natural seam. To remove the final section, cut down to the right, and parallel to the bone until the section is free.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
An impressive center-of-the-table entrée or focus of a buffet. Perfect for sandwiches, biscuits, in salads or omelets. Use the bone and leftovers to season soups, beans, or vegetables. Delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Smithfield is a global pork producer that boasts over 50 brands of pork products and is the world’s largest producer and processor of pork, according to the company's website. One of the products Smithfield offers is a spiral ham, a pre-cooked and pre-sliced ham. The ham receives one continuous spiral cut that goes all the way around the ham from one end to the other to help make serving easier.

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove all packaging from the ham and place it in a roasting pan or baking dish on its side.

Place a tight-fitting lid on top of the pan or dish, or cover with foil. Place the ham in the oven and heat for roughly 12 to 15 minutes per pound. A half spiral ham should take about two hours and a whole ham about three hours.

Remove the ham from the oven at the end of the cooking time, slice it up and serve.

How do you cook a Smithfield spiral sliced smoked ham?

Warming instructions: Heat oven to 275 degrees F. Remove all packaging materials and place ham in shallow roasting pan, flat side down. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for approximately 15 minutes per pound until heated through.

How do I cook a Smithfield spiral ham without drying it out?

To avoid drying it out, add water to the bottom of your roasting pan, place the ham on a baking rack above the water, and cover it with foil. Bake only until it's 140° in the center (this should take 10 to 12 minutes per pound). Uncover it in the last 30 minutes when you're glazing it, so those edges get caramelized.

How do you heat a fully cooked Smithfield ham?

Place the ham, cut-side-down, on heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap the ham thoroughly. Or use an oven roasting bag; follow instructions on the bag for preparation. Bake in a preheated 325F oven for 10-14 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer registers 135F.

How do you heat a fully cooked spiral sliced ham?

To reheat a spiral-sliced ham in a conventional oven, cover the entire ham or portion with heavy aluminum foil and heat at 325 °F for about 10 minutes per pound. Individual slices may also be warmed in a skillet or microwave.
