Cooking Tips

Preparing SRF bone-in hams is simple and straightforward. One key step is to fully thaw your ham before cooking. Place the ham on a tray and thaw in the refrigerator. Plan ahead since a large ham can take 3 to 4 days to thaw. 

To cook, heat the oven to 325°F. Set ham in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the heated oven. Leave in oven until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F when checked in the center of its thickest section. 

Pull the ham from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes.

What is Kurobuta Pork?

Kurobuta is a heritage breed with flavor superior to commodity pork. This premium pork is known as Berkshire in England and Kurobuta in Japan, where it is considered the culinary equivalent of Wagyu beef. Kurobuta contains abundant marbling for a heightened flavor profile and higher pH which creates a deep pink color and an increased moisture content. The result is pork with robust juicy flavor, tender texture and a hint of natural sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much ham per person?

We recommend at least 8 oz. for each person at your table. If you want to have leftovers or your crowd is full of hearty eaters, use 12 oz. for your calculations.

How to smoke a ham

Place the ham directly on the smoker, cover, and allow it to smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (approximately 4 hours). 

Once the ham reaches 135°F, brush the entire ham with the glaze. Cover the smoker and allow the glaze to set for 5 minutes. Coat the ham once more with the glaze, cover the smoker, and allow the ham to continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Repeat the glazing process until the glaze is gone or the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.

Remove the ham from the smoker and allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Amazingly good ham. This ham

"Amazingly good ham. This ham is so huge and delicious that it's more of an epic journey than just something to eat. To get the most from this, be sure to use a great split pea soup recipe for the well melted bone after most of the met has been slice away. The end result is the very best split pea soup I've ever eaten in my entire life."
