How To Prepare Baked Ham. Since most hams you buy are already cooked, all you have to do is heat the ham, and if you want, apply a simple glaze. Prepare the ham by scoring a diamond pattern into the fat and skin, taking care not to cut into the meat itself.
How long do you cook a precooked ham?
We cook our Brown Sugar Glazed Ham to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, just enough to warm it through, about 10-14 minutes per pound. We don’t want to overcook our ham or it will be dry (and remember it is safe to eat at any temperature). Allow approximately two hours for your 8-11-pound Brown Sugar Glazed Ham.
When you take the temperature of the ham, take care to insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone. Also, limit the amount of times you open the oven and check the temperature to prevent the ham from drying out.
