The best way to warm up Gelson’s precooked ham is to heat it in the oven at 325°F for about 10-15 minutes per pound.
For example, if your ham weighs 5 pounds, you should heat it for approximately 50-75 minutes.
Make sure to cover the ham loosely with foil to retain moisture.
You can also add a little bit of water or broth to the pan to keep it juicy.
If you prefer, you can warm it in the microwave, but the oven usually gives better results in terms of texture and flavor.
To microwave, slice the ham into smaller pieces, place them in a microwave-safe dish, and cover. Heat on medium power for 5 minutes, then check and stir as needed.
Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 140°F for safe eating.
Let the ham rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
This way, you’ll enjoy a delicious and perfectly heated ham every time.
