Things You'll Need. Sink a papyrus plant's container in a pond or other water feature so that the container's top is up to 12 inches beneath the water surface, or grow the plant directly in boggy, wet soil near the margin of an outdoor pond.
Ham should not sit at room temperature any longer than 2 hours.
For a garden variety boiled ham, the meat is removed from the brine, rinsed off and placed in water at 170F. It is held there until the internal temperature reaches 155F on a meat thermometer. This will take about an hour for a 3 lb piece. After cooking, the ham is chilled in cold water for about 30 minutes and then put in the fridge overnight. Next day you will think you just returned from the deli.
