I've seen a lot of discussion about Costco, so could anyone tell me if the Kirkland brand hams are good.

As our tradition, when my son and his wife come over to help put up my tree, I cook a ham dinner. For the last two years, I've used the Kirkland Spiral cut ham. It's delicious. My DIL does not like the glaze so I don't use it and it's still wonderful.

Everything that I've purchased from Costco (Kirkland) from shampoo to food items has been very good quality. If for any reason you are not satisfied you can return the item, no questions asked. Years ago I spoke with a Costco employee who stressed how important it is to the company that their customers are satisfied.

Over the years, I've had both the Kirkland regular spiral cut ham & the Master Carve Applewood Smoked hams & both were excellent. (in fact, I just bought a Master Carve ham yesterday for Christmas dinner)

If you don't like anything that Costco sells, they're more than happy to refund your money. Great CS.

I was a Costco shopper for years and years (till we moved and there isn't one here) and have to say that Kirkland is a very decent brand no matter what you buy, and the meats IMHO are wonderful.

Yes, they are good.

We only buy our meat at Costco. It's the best anywhere, IMO.

The Kirkland spiral hams are delicious! I've purchased them in the past and we all enjoyed it very much. I also buy my fresh meat at Costco. However, if you have an Aldi near you, they have very good spiral hams as well, and they are less expensive.

I haven't tried their spiral cut ham, but have had the Kirkland smoked ham steak and love it. They come in a 3 pack - always pick them up when we go there.

I tried their spiral cut ham a few years ago. It was good but Honey Baked is better so I went back.

Kirkland may have two types, but the one I buy is fantastic! It is somewhat flat in appearance, and comes with current glaze packets. It is so moist and not red inside as the hams with added coloring. I buy it for New Year's Day and Easter. It can be kept in the freezer for quite a while, if necessary. This is not a spiral ham.

mousiegirl, the one you described is the Master Carve ham.

Thank you ladies for all your answers. The Mastercarve sounds good, but our local store doesn't carry it. Has anyone seen them in your stores this holiday season?

I don't have an experience with the hams, but everything I've gotten that is Kirkland brand has been VERY good quality.

I don't eat ham, so I can't speak to that, but I've never been disappointed with the Kirkland brand. I always buy Kirkland coffee.

Not sure of your location, but I got a Kirkland Master Carve ham at my local Costco here in Tucson just last week. They had more of the red foil wrapped spiral cut hams than the Master Carve ones, but they were next to each other in the deli case.

Here's a look at what the packaging looks like if that will help you spot them:

We had a early Christmas dinner today and I served the Kirkland Master Carve ham. Delicious! My BIL who always has Honeybaked Ham said it was just as good. Thank all of you for helping me have a WONDERFUL day withy family.

I had a sample of the Mastercarve ham yesterday and it was delicious. It was next to the spiral cut ham. I'm going to get the MC for New Year's.
