Spiral, boneless, and fresh ham sizing with cooking time and carving yield.
Ham size
0.5 lb/person × guests + buffer
6.3 lb
Cook time
15 min/lb at 275°F
1.6 h
Rest time
15–20 min tented
Carving yield
≈ 70% of pre-cook weight
4.4 lb
Spiral-sliced hams are pre-cooked — you’re just warming through and glazing, so low heat (275°F) keeps them from drying out. Boneless hams carve nearly 100% but cost more per edible pound.
Fresh ham is an uncured pork leg roast — it needs a real roast time at 325°F to a USDA-safe internal 145°F plus 3-minute rest.
ham_lb = guests × per_person × (1 + leftover_buffer)
cook_min = ham_lb × min_per_lb (at oven temp)
carve_yield = ham_lb × bone/trim_yield
Turkey Size per Guest
Pounds of turkey per guest with leftovers — plus thaw time and fresh-vs-frozen decision guide.
Roast Time by Weight
Oven roast times by cut, weight, and doneness — with USDA safe internal temps and rest times.
Smoking Time by Cut
Low-and-slow smoke times by cut and pit temperature — with stall and wrap recommendations.
