| I just bought a Paula Deen spiral cut ham and directions say cook @ 325* for 10 minutes per pound. Is this what you do? I was thinking longer time at a lower temp. Thanks for your help. Whistle |

| A ham is already cooked so a lower temp will be fine for reheating. Make sure it is covered with foil so it does not dry out. I did not realize Paula Dean had her own brand of ham. Good luck and have a wonderful holiday! Teresa in Minnesota |

| It's already cooked so just reheat up slowly to prevent drying out. Teresa, Paula Deen does not have her own ham - it is Smithfield Ham with her name on it. |

| I'd go with the instructions.A producer like Smithfield knows what works best based on tests and feedback. It's precooked and only needs warming. A Spiral Ham can dry out in a flash because it has been pre-sliced. Ask me how I know...do not overcook!!! |

| Good to know. I love Smithfield Ham! |
|
| Thanks everyone. It is a Smithfield ham with signature glaze by Paula Deen. It has her pic on the wrapper, so I just call it a PD ham. I don't use the glaze, because I'm one who doesn't like sweet ham! I used it last year and just couldn't remember whether I followed package directions or not. It was really good so I hope I don't dry it out this year! Merry Christmas to all. Whistle |

| I bought a spiral ham last week. Not because we were having a lot of company, but because we like them. So I had no reason to heat the entire thing. I just cut off what I needed each time (a plateful to take to a party I was going to; a few slices here and there for our dinner), and heated those up in a foil-covered casserole. Unless you want the pretty presentation of the whole thing, and you're having a big crowd, I see no reason at all to heat the whole ham over and over, drying out the leftovers. And it saves a lot of energy--I had a 9X9 casserole for the party, only took about a half hour to heat it adequately. So that's another alternative--just heat what you need. You can still make a pretty presentation on a platter. I added some grilled pineapple slices and a scattering of dried cranberries that I'd plumped in orange juice. |
