Jeeves,
real coke works well, i cut it down a little with some lowsodium chicken stock. crock or covered casserole dish in the oven.

Jeeves,[p]Here is one option.[p]How to, Reheat Pulled Pork
BSinAZ,I happen to prefer the Coca-Cola method as I have had great success with that method - but first thing you need to know is the Coke DOES NOT flavor it nor change the taste! Why it works I'm not real sure but it eliminates that lousy warmed over taste IMHO and really works wonders on beef as well. Quantity wise I prefer one 12 oz can of real Coke, - no diet stuff, nor any flavored Coke either and NO!, pepsi will not work so please don't try to substitute. I find one can for two to four pounds of pulled pork is fine when done in a crock pot at low temp and stirred from time to time. Even warmed in a pan on the stove works but in that case stir often and keep it low! The real secret though is not to tell your guests - it's weird, but people wrinkle up their noses at the Coke idea since they think it will be sweet or something - but it isn't, nor is there even any color left, but if they don't know the secret all they do is applaud you for the wonderful pulled pork!

Richard Fl,

Jeeves,[p]I don't think I mentioned not to tell, I have no secrets.....Well I do, but that is why they are called secrets. Heheee. I use the Dr and Coke in sauces, for glazes on ham, and as reheating liquid for barbecue. Coke is my favorite of the soda pops for PP and brisket. [p]I did however ask the question about other folks favorite reheating liquids and kept the results. I'll probably post them on my site at some time, but here they are....[p]~thirdeye~ [p]Here is a summary showing which liquids folks add to meats when reheating. Some information is from my cookin' notes, some from interviews, podcasts, cookbooks or magazine articles and the most recent is from the poll question I posted on 3 Q sites. The most popular responses are listed first in each list.[p]Cooking juice was mentioned often. This generally referred to juices collected in the foil during the resting period, not juices collected if meats were cooked in foil or pans. [p]Coca-Cola & apple juice are used a lot too, both straight and as an added ingredient. Sprite was mentioned only twice, the explanation is because “the citrus adds a little brightness back to the product”.[p]Only about 25% added dry seasonings after pulling the beef or pork.[p]~thirdeye~[p]**** PORK BUTT ****

Jeeves,
A bamboo steamer works great. Adds moisture back in the meat. [p]MC Jerry

Jwirlwind,
You may also use a metal collander over a pot of water with a lid on it. It returns moisture back to the meat without changing taste. [p]MC Jerry
