It’s generally not necessary to wash a spiral ham before cooking it—just give it a good pat dry if needed. Most spiral hams are pre-cooked, so you’re mostly just warming it up and adding flavor. Happy cooking!

No need to wash a spiral ham before cooking! It's usually precooked and ready to eat. Just score the skin, add your favorite glaze, and pop it in the oven!

I think it's not usually necessary to wash a spiral ham before cooking. Though a quick rinse and pat dry can help if it’s very salty.

Nah, most spiral hams are pre-cooked and ready to eat, so there's usually no need to wash them before cooking. Just heat them up and enjoy!

No, it's not necessary to wash a spiral ham before cooking; simply remove the packaging and any glaze packet, then cook it according to the instructions!
