Reheating pulled pork

[Randy D]

I smoked two butts on Wednesday, pulled them that night, and put them in the freezer. Yesterday, I foodsavered them in 20 oz. portions. For my granddaughters birthday party tonight, I planned to reheat a few (3 at first) of the bags in boiling water. I've done this before with small quantities, using tips I learned in this forum. I would bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and add the still-frozen pork in the foodsaver bag. After 15 minutes the pulled pork was heated without drying it out or changing the texture. Will this same method work for larger quantities?

I don't see why it wouldn't Randy.

Thanks for the reply. I was worried that the greater quantity of cold meat would bring the temp of the water down too fast.

I would like to thank you Randy on the tip on how you do it. I would have never thought of it and it sounds better than throwing it either in the oven or microwave. Hope it works for you.

It worked out great. I had to use our biggest pot to cover all 3 bags and the pork was mostly thawed before I put it in the water for 15 minutes. With smaller amounts, I've gone straight from the freezer to the boiled water.

I use the boil in the bag (Sous Vide) method on all sorts of foods
