catbird Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Would I have to go to Costco to buy a pre cooked ham? I'm hoping someone knows where I can buy one locally. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 All hams are pre-cooked. You can buy in them Soriana, Walmart., Super Lake, Panchos , Tony's Meat Market among other places 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostlylost Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Ham by definition is cooked or smoked (= cooking) There is no such thing as raw ham that is called pork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Fresh Ham A ham that is not cooked or cured prior to preparation. When selecting a fresh ham, look for one that is encased in a layer of firm white fat, and contains meat that is well marbled with coloring that may range from a grayish-pink from younger hogs to a light rose color from older hogs. The meat can be stored in cold temperatures for up to 5 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstone Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 If you use Lakeside Shoping Services, they bring the CostCo ham and many other products to your home. I am getting my delivery today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Costco has a Master Carve Ham, which is excellent. I find the spiral-cut ham, which is huge and very tasty, is cut too thin for dinner menus. But it does have a bone for making soup after. The Master Carve is a reasonable size for a dinner, and is far less fatty than many. You can buy them (with a hefty price markup) at Pancho's.

I looked for this today and couldn't find it, what part of Costco is it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conejorapido Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 It's usually on one of the end cabinets in the section that has cheese, sausage, charcuterie, and a lot of other stuff. Right opposite the meat counters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosciutto, Iberian, Tennessee Hams are all uncooked. To be a ham it is simply cured pork. It is also sometimes smoked, sometimes air dried and aged. Cooking doesn't make it a ham. An uncooked or green ham is simply a pig's hind leg until it is cured. The fore leg of said pig can be cured and in the states and Canada it is called a "picknic ham" and may be cooked or uncooked as well. Sadly Mexico never developed the custom of curing meats. The altitude here is amenable for 3 months to accomplish that and it is an admirable way to preserve pork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy that portion fresh, it's not a ham until you smoke it. I always cooked a smoked picnic in the oven. Prosciutto is dry aged for a very long time to cure it so it really can't be called fresh. The process is similar to smoking but not the same. At Swift they were piled high on several pallets. with weights on the top pallet to speed the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
