Estimate the time it’ll take for your ham to reach the appropriate internal temperature — that way, you’ll be able to cut down on the number of times you open the oven, remove the foil and check the temperature. “The less you disrupt the reheating process, the better,” Schneider says. If your ham will likely take 1.25 hours to reach the appropriate internal temperature, keep it in the oven a full hour before checking the temperature with the meat thermometer, he says.

After cooking, let the ham rest at least 3 minutes before carving and eating it, per the USDA.
