Ham
Cured and typically smoked pork leg, sold fully cooked or ready-to-glaze. Fully cooked ham just needs reheating — go low and slow to warm it through without drying it out.
Used for
- sandwiches
- glazed holiday mains
- soups
- breakfast
In the kitchen
- reheat low and slow
- glaze
- dice
- carve against the grain
Picking it at the store
- Check the label — 'fully cooked' just needs reheating, 'cook before eating' does not
- Bone-in holds moisture better than boneless during a long reheat
