The best way to determine if the meat has cooked long enough is to check for doneness.It is important not to overcook the ham to maintain its juiciness.

If it is not a fully cooked ham, it also needs to be cooked to the proper doneness to make it safe to eat. Shown below are signs to look for when determining doneness. For more information, see Ham Cooking Guide - Ham Doneness.

When poked with a meat fork, the meat will show little resistance. The meat will begin to separate from the bones and the larger bones will be easy to move.To ensure doneness, check with a meat thermometer. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the cut should produce a temperature of 160°F for an uncooked or partially cooked ham and 140°F for a fully cooked ham.

For best results, the meat should be removed from the oven when its internal temperature reads 5° below the final desired temperature and then it should be allowed to rest (a waiting period before carving) for 10 to 15 minutes. During this time the meat will continue to cook and will reach the 160°F for uncooked ham or 140°F for the fully cooked ham. Resting also allows the juices to be distributed through the meat before it is carved.

Slice or carve to desired thickness. Roasting/Baking Tips: To add extra flavor, apply a glaze to the ham during the last 30 minutes of the cooking time. Roasting at a lower oven temperature (NEVER roast meat below 200°F) will result in meat that is more flavorful and moist.

It will take longer to cook but the results will be worth the wait.Do not use sharp utensils that may pierce the ham when trying to turn it because piercing allows valuable juices to escape. Use other utensils, such as wooden spoons and spatulas for handling the ham. If cooking more than one ham, be sure that there is uniform space around them so that they will cook evenly.

The hams should not be touching and there should be enough room around them to allow air and heat to circulate. When placing a thermometer in the meat to check for doneness, be sure that the stem is not touching a bone because this can result in a false reading.
