Boneless ham comes in two varieties. The first is pieces of ham pressed together. That is canned or deli ham. Not necessarily bad, but this is not what we are discussing. The second type of boneless ham will be shaped like an oval and sealed in plastic. You can buy a whole, half, or quarter ham. So great for smaller households that don’t want to eat ham for a week. They are actual ham with the bone cut out. They are already fully cooked and ready to eat. They come sliced and unsliced. They are brined and salted like bone-in hams, which makes them hard to get wrong.
