Cook's Spiral Sliced Ham - rip off -yea/nay?
I just cooked our Easter ham, also a Cook's Spiral and it was a mess.
When I picked it up to place in the pan, a big hunk of it fell off.
Then I noticed that only the bottom quarter was 'spiralled". The rest
was just one big hunk of ham, with quite a bit of fat. The area that was
spiral was very uneven, some of the slices were paper thin, others about
a half inch thick. I'm glad we didn't have company, it looked awful.
It was $1.39 a lb at Stop and Shop, with the courtesy card. It tasted
fine, though. I served it with asparagus and fried rice. Not my usual
holiday meal, but it was just me, hubby and 31 year old son. I think
next time, I'll look for something else besides Cook's.
I do use the glaze, but like Sheldon, I don't care for the liquid
package either. I weighed it and it was 6.5 oz. The stuff in the dry
package makes a nice crisp edge to the meat, the liquid just melted off,
leaving very little behind. I cooked it with fresh pineapple rings. All
in all, not a bad meal, but disappointing presentation.
