BAKING/GRILLING HAM
It is always hard to decide how to cook a cut of meat, and how to tell when it is done. Usually with meat, doneness is determined by internal temperature. Invest in a good meat thermometer. I found one that is cordless so I can stick the probe in the meat and carry the unit around the house with me and it will beep when it is almost done and give updates on temperature. There are many varieties on the market so find one that works for you.
Ham is generally cooked to 140ºF in a 325ºF oven.
4-6 pounds of Boneless Ham can be roasted in an oven for 1¼ -2½ hours, or grilled over indirect heat for the same amount of time.
3-4 pounds of Pieces of Boneless Ham can be roasted in the oven for 1½ to 2¼ hours, or grilled over indirect heat for the same amount of time.
5-8 pounds of Smoked Picnic Ham can be roasted in the oven for 2-4 hours or grilled over indirect heat for 2-3 hours.
