Stop Buying This Spiral Ham Brand And Thank Us Later

Which brand do you think makes the best spiral ham?

20 bucks a lb for ANY meat is ridiculous.

2:04 Just remember, Smithfield is owned by CHY-NAH.

I buy spiral hams on sale every holiday for .89 a pound. I make my own glaze with orange juice, brown sugar, pineapple juice and marachino cherry juice with cloves and cinnamon. They are always delicious.

I like cut thick slices of ham so I buy Cook's & cut it up myself. I've had very good luck with Cooks. I buy them when the price drops after holidays, cut it into slices and chunks, then freeze it in Seal-a-Meal bags. It's always nice to pull a bag out of the freezer for adding to soups, baked beans, & omelets. The bone is great for bean soup stock. When the bone has done it's work the dog gets it. Even the extra fat is melted down to flavor cornbread, vegetables, casseroles or fried hash browns. Ham is a great value, imo. ❤🐷

My Mom always bought a whole ham, pig-skin and all.....She would half cook it and then remove the skin most of the fat and then came the glaze, the pineapple slices, the cherries and the cloves and in the oven it went to finish cooking......With all those flavors the raisin gravy was spectacular........

As an Army National Guard sergeant, I once had to confer with one of my corporals, also a good friend, on the job, who worked at Honeybaked Hams. I found him wearing a big rubber apron, a blowtorch in one hand, and a three inch paintbrush in the other, alternately blasting and basting a number of hams! At a time when HBH hams were a valued gift, and a frequent employer's holiday bonus handout. Harry and David?!? At $12.24 a pound ?!? Let's face it: Ham ain't steak!!!

These spiral hams are always the shank end the cheaper more boney of the two halves. Spiral cutting was a great way to upmarket this cheaper cut.

Smithfield is Chinese owned company.

Smithfield Ham is no longer the American traditional company we remember. Smithfield Foods is now Cinese owned. I grew up on a farm where traditional smoking processes were used. These chemical laced hams are unnatural.

Costco’s Mastercarve ham is amazing. They used to include a pouch of some black berry sauce. I can’t remember what berry, but it was the best I ever had!

Omaha Steaks are top notch quality meats. I used to order there for my dad on occasion. I recently got a Sam's club ham and it is delicious, juicy and not too fatty. My puppy loved the soup bone. I am sure the Omaha Steaks would be better but too expensive for me now lol.

I like walmart's ham that's wrapped in the purple mylar. It tastes great.

BEEN BUYING MEMBER'S MARK HAM FOR SOME TIME NOW! NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. TASTE IS GREAT AND A VERY GOOD VALUE AS WELL!

Chinese billionaire owner Wan Long, who took a small Chinese state-owned meat processing plant and expanded it into a multinational company with more than $24 billion in annual sales. Now, the owner of Nathan's Famous hot dogs and Cook's ham. In 2013, WH Group (formerly known as Shuanghui International Holdings) purchased Smithfield for $4.7 billion; including debt, the deal valued the firm at $7.1 billion, then the largest acquisition of a U.S. company by a Chinese business. WH Group went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a year later, and furthered its American presence by buying Clougherty Packing, California's largest pork processor, in 2017.

Honey baked ham's claim to fame was a patent for a bone-in spiral-slicer. They were the only ones that had it until that patent expired in the late 70's or 80's. Because the slicing made the sauce get into all of the nooks and crannies, there was no other like it. But once that patent was gone...everybody did it. Now it is ordinary.

I have eaten a lot of brand name hams. I usually buy hams from our local supermarket Food Lion. I usually buy a few few when they go on sale. The hams are not salty l usually use my own home made glaze. I also buy smoked hams.

Buy a ham and a goid knife. Forget dried out thin cut spiral hams.

I won't say it is the best, but if you want a great grocery store ham. Hormel Cure 81 is always very good. If you want to spend a fortune on a ham, you could no doubt find a better one. How you warm the ham up makes a huge difference too.
