Did you know that most pre-cooked hams are labeled “fully cooked” or “ready to eat”? But some clever brands call them “oven-ready.” It sounds fancier. You are paying for the vibe.
Also, the pink color of ham is not natural. It comes from sodium nitrite, a curing agent. Without it, ham would be gray. Gray ham is sad ham. Embrace the pink.
So go ahead. Unwrap that beauty. Heat it up. Glaze it if you’re feeling spicy. Serve it with a flourish. You are now a ham champion. No one ever needs to know it was pre-cooked. Your secret is safe with us.
