Reserving Pulled Pork

[Jim Creasy]

My family is spending the week in Destin, leaving tomorrow. The condo has a kitchen and I am smoking a butt today. Plan on pulling it tonight and taking it down there to have sandwiches for one meal, tacos for another, and generally snack on during the week. Yummy!

Questions... Store in gallon freezer bags and chill. Correct?

What is the best way to reheat? Microwave? Stove in skillet? Oven?

Thanks,

JKC

I'm planning on doing a 7lb butt tomorrow for a party on Sunday. Last time I pulled the night before and left in tupperware. Next day I put in aluminum pan, spritzed with apple juice and re-heated for 30 min in the oven at 200 degrees. Came out nice. I would probably do on grill next time.

For smaller quantities, I freeze it in single servings in a Ziplock and reheat it in a simmering pot of water. You can add some liquid before if you feel the need.

I have one of those vacusuc machines I use. I pull, chill, vacusuc and then freeze what I will not be eating right away. The best way to reheat for me is always in a pot with light boiling water for about twenty minutes. I do this straight from the freezer. It tastes just as if you just pulled and searved it. In your case depending on how far the drive is keeping it froze might be difficult. But when you reach your destination get it in the fridge as soon as possible and you should be fine. I do believe that smoked meats keep longer. So you should be fine. Enjoy your vacation. Vince
