reheating pulled pork

During the past couple of months, I have not been able to read the forum as much as I enjoy. Recently I believe I saw a post that referenced reheating pulled pork using coke. Could someone please explain that technique? Or did I just dream this up?[p]We currently have 4 butts on the egg cooking away at 250, which should come off around 10:00 pm. Once they are pulled, we will put them into food saver bags and freeze them so they can make an 800 mile trip this weekend. We were thinking this might be a new way to “freshen them up”.

    Butch M, I put mine in foodsaver bags and freeze for later. To reheat I just put the bag in boiling water and it's as good as is was the 1st day. Jim

    Butch M,[p]The coke method works well, add a small amount of coke or dr pepper to the meat, re heat it over medium heat. The extra moisture from the soda makes the meat remain moist. I use this trick anytime I am cooking for larger groups. Put a little soda in the crockpot or other serving dish that the meat will be sitting in.

    Master Mason,
    I second the Coke method, but want to expand on it a bit. Pepsi will not work - it has to be Coca-Cola and not diet Coke, nor any of the flavored Cokes. I too understand some folks prefer RC, but I've had such good success with Coke I'm satisfied.

    RRP,
    I mix Coke with an equal amount of cider vinegar and liked the result. It gets the sweetness with a little bite. -RP
