how long do you cook a spiral ham inthe oven ~~
A fully cooked spiral ham is usually reheated in the oven at 325°F for about 12–15 minutes per pound , depending on how covered and how “crispy” you like the outside.
Basic time rule
- 12–15 minutes per pound at 325°F is the standard range for a precooked spiral ham.
- For a 10‑pound spiral ham , that’s roughly 2 to 2.5 hours total.
Temperature and doneness
- Aim for an internal temperature of 135–140°F in the thickest part (use a meat thermometer).
- The ham is already precooked, so you’re just reheating; going much beyond 140°F can dry it out.
Quick how‑to overview
- Remove packaging, place ham in a shallow roasting pan cut‑side down, and pour a little water or reserved juices in the pan.
- Cover loosely with foil, heat at 325°F for most of the time, then uncover for the last 15–20 minutes if you want a bit more color and glaze.
