Formula and method
A ten-pound whole bone-in cook-before-eating smoked ham gives a 190-minute schedule estimate using the 19-minute-per-pound midpoint.
Schedule minutes = pounds × captured cut-specific midpoint in minutes per pound
Worked example
Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations
- Use the timing ranges as planning estimates within their published weight bands, not a temperature check. Oven cuts use 325°F; raw fresh and cook-before-eating ham require 145°F plus a three-minute rest. Reheat USDA-inspected fully cooked ham to 140°F and other cooked ham to 165°F. Country ham uses a different soak-and-boil method. Follow product directions and use a thermometer.

How should I enter a different quantity?
Choose the displayed measurement units before entering a value. Clear the unknown field, enter compatible known values, and use the preserved inverse branches where available. One-way estimates and rounded package outputs keep their original direction.
