Cooked 3 butts. Best way to store the 2 leftovers for future yumminess?

[Carson W (carsonsig)]

I cooked 3 butts. we ate one, and the other two have been in the fridge un pulled, wrapped in foil... going to vacuum pack and freeze the other 2. but I dont know the best way...


PULL THEN freeze?

leave unpulled then freeze?

are there downsides when thawing and reheating to one over the other?

Carson, I have done it both ways. Whole pieces and pulled and I taste no difference. I just vacuum bag them and reheat for future meals.

Now I pull it and break it down into different size bags so I never thaw out more than I'll use.

x2. I will pull it then bag the rest in 1 and 2 lbs bags each, and then freeze. This way you can only thaw out what you want.

Oops, I guess I'm x3 !!!

thanks guys. I vac'd one whole, then shredded the other and split it into two bags!

just wanted to make sure there wasnt some HOLY CRAP, never pull it first it will do "X Y Z" and taste like dog biscuits.... or something..

For reheating, we now steaming them. Seems to work very well.
