Food Prep, Safety & Storage Q&A
It is super easy! To reheat your ham you should follow the instructions on the packaging and heat to the desired temperature.
Cooked ham is also safe and delicious to eat right out of the refrigerator! For recipes using your leftover ham, visit Hormel.com.
In a word: magic. Of course, we’re biased, and if you haven’t had the good fortune of tasting magic before, that won’t tell you much.
What we’re trying to say is, SPAM® products have a unique taste that’s unlike anything else out there. That taste also depends on the SPAM® variety and how you prepare it. Grilling, baking, or frying will result in different textures and subtleties. So the best way to answer this question is ultimately to try it for yourself.
Maintaining our outstanding food safety record is a top priority. All employees receive food safety training appropriate for their responsibilities within the company.
We complete more than 1,100 safety assessments each month companywide. We know where every ingredient in every product originated and that it meets our high standards.
Food safety systems are overseen by company personnel, independent third parties, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

SKIPPY® peanut butter—opened or not—is happiest when stored at room temperature.
You can refrigerate it to savor its flavor for longer, but know that when refrigerated, it doesn’t spread as easily. You should also know that SKIPPY® Peanut Butter doesn’t like being too cold, so keep it freezer-free!
Thanks for the love! Once opened, HORMEL® CURE 81® Ham can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
Leftover cooked ham should be tightly wrapped and refrigerated promptly after the meal.
Ham may be kept frozen for up to 60 days. The nutritional value of the ham will be maintained, but not its full flavor and texture. If you must freeze your ham, wrap it tightly.
You bet!
Just be sure to place SKIPPY® Peanut Butter in a microwave-safe container. SKIPPY® Peanut Butter jars, however, can’t go in the microwave or oven.
Simple, the best way to eat it is with your mouth.
Sandwiches are the most popular vehicle used to deliver it to your chompers. Which kind of sandwich is another question entirely though, as there are a plethora of recipes available.
Beyond the sandwich, the versatility of this delicious meat provides endless meal options, including many that are uniquely preferred within particular cultures around the globe. By the time you asked every SPAM® Brand lover out there, the responses would likely include grilled, fried, in a taco, on a bun, as a snack, for supper, and even straight out of the can. There are countless ways to enjoy SPAM® products, and no wrong way.
