Leftover pork butt

[Chris Allingham]

If you think pork butt suffers when frozen and reheated, take a look at this pic. I like to cut a barbecued pork butt into quarters and vacuum seal and freeze each portion, then later thaw, gently reheat, and pull/chop a portion.

So simple, it's genius! Thanks Chris!

We have the same situation just the two of us. Although I usually only buy one individual butt at a time if there on sale and if we do get two I just freeze the extra one whole.
If I do ever get a Costco twin pack I will certainly use your method.

If you have a sous vide, you can throw the bag in a water bath at 165 and reheat to perfection.

Very interesting, have to remember this when i do a pork shoulder on the WSM.

I can certainly relate to being too tired to pull a second pork butt. Good idea. Thanks for the tip Chris!

You da man Chris. I've got to get a vacuum sealer
