Reheating pulled pork?
Posted on 6/22/21 at 12:01 pm

I smoked four butts for an upcoming family trip. After letting it rest and pulling it, I vacuum sealed it then froze it.
What are my best options for reheating?

I know it is a joke on here, but if you have a sous vide, the pork is already vacuum sealed so you're already halfway there. It will gently heat it without cooking it more.
Otherwise, I've reheated it in a aluminum pan on indirect heat in a grill and I've also reheated it in an oven on low heat where it it just warms it.

if it's vacuum sealed, hot water method (sous vide)

sous vide or just boil some water and place the sealed bags in the water

This is how I store pulled pork and I just stick the bag of pork in hot or boiling water for a little bit. So easy. Sometimes I defrost sometimes I put it in frozen. Usually depends on if I planned for it or remember to take it out the freezer ahead of time. It all comes out the same

Either of the methods mentioned work. Be careful that the water is not at a hard boil as it may loosen the seal of the vac bag. I tend to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, or as soon as it is heated all the way through.

Like everyone else has said:
Leave vacuum sealed.
You don't need a sous vide machine. Just drop in warm water on the stove on low.

I like to throw it in a skillet, crisp up a little, and do tacos or nachos. I package it with all the juice and some of the fat cap mixed in. If you are just going to put it on bread with bbq sauce, it doesn't matter how you heat up, and it might be better cold.

Depends how much you're reheating at a time.
If it fits in a skillet, I use that with a bit of water and some BBQ sauce. You can either keep it low to warm it up, or crank the heat a bit, keep the meat moving and get it a little crispy.
If serving a lot, either sous vide as mentioned since it's already vac packed, or put in a disposable aluminum container with a bit of water and sauce and put in the oven on low. Stir it intermittently for even cooking.

If you have access to a smoker where you're going, put the shredded pork in an aluminum pan with some of your favorite BBQ sauce and a little honey. Put on smoker at 200 degrees for a couple hrs and give it a stir every now and then. I always do this with pulled pork as it puts more smoke flavor to parts that didn't get much on the initial smoke. If you don't have a smoker where you're going, do what everybody else said.

When I vac pac my pulled pork I put a little bit of apple juice in the bag for moisture when reheating. I just simply put it in a pot of water on low and let it warm up, also works with a slow cooker with water in it.

I do this too, confit it.
If you wanna do it quick, in the microwave with a wet paper towel on top will work

I do this all the time, as the family enjoyed pulled pork tacos.
Take a vacuum sealed portion out the freezer, thaw completely, put some butter in a crock pot, then set it on low heat for a good while. Comes out really good.
