Questions about Smoked ham
Does smoked ham need cooking before you eat it?
Most sliced smoked ham is already cooked and can be eaten cold. If you buy a raw smoked ham joint, follow its cooking instructions; smoking alone does not necessarily cook it through.
How do you stop smoked ham drying out when you heat it?
Warm slices gently in a covered pan with a splash of water for a minute or two, or add them to a dish near the end of cooking. For a joint, keep it covered while reheating and uncover only briefly to glaze.
How long does smoked ham keep once opened?
Refrigerate it promptly in a sealed container and use sliced ham within three to five days. Keep a whole cooked joint wrapped and chilled, and freeze portions you will not use in time.
Can you freeze smoked ham?
Yes. Divide it into meal-sized portions, wrap them tightly or seal them in freezer bags, and freeze. Thaw in the fridge; slices are especially handy for adding straight to cooked dishes from frozen.
What goes well with smoked ham?
Pair it with eggs, mustard, cheese or sweet chutney in sandwiches and toasties. It also works in pea soup, quiche, omelettes and potato hash; add it late so its smoky flavour stays distinct.
How is smoked ham different from ordinary ham?
Smoked ham has been exposed to smoke, which gives it a deeper, smoky flavour; ordinary ham may be cured or cooked without being smoked. The words do not guarantee one particular cut or level of saltiness.
Can you use smoked ham instead of bacon in a recipe?
Yes, especially in omelettes, pasta or quiche, but smoked ham is usually leaner and less crisp than bacon. Dice it and fry briefly; add a little oil if the pan needs it.
