I know of no one else to turn to - really need your help desperately!
Um, how long is a refrigerated ham good for? I cooked a half of one on Thanksgiving. It was, and still is, great. It's a lot for one person. It has always been refrigerated, covered in foil and a in a cooking pan with a plastic shield - I hate to waste it. And I'm a man. It's meat. It's there. I eat it.
The serious part is, of course, if it goes bad I could get sick and die, and then you'd miss me. Well, some of you would miss me. Okay, maybe one of you would miss me.
Please help this clueless bachelor. When should I toss it?
I would boil it and then make soup. Freeze some of it and take it out as you want to eat ham. Homer Simson never died from that sandwich, you should be alright.
If it was cooked really well, you should be good for 2-3 more days for sure, maybe even a week. After that, you have to start inspecting closely. If some part looks or smells bad, cut that off and throw it away and eat the rest (it is meat, after all)!
Personally, I would get rid of it. But if you must because it is meat. Wait for that smell and slime. Next time boil the meat and prepare for the freezer jmo
