    1 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 in pans. De-fatting the juice was not mentioned very often, the exception was de-fatting juices when meats were COOKED in pans or foil.
    2 Coca-Cola & apple juice are used a lot too, both straight and as an added ingredient.
    3 When BBQ sauce is used it is thinned out with another liquid. Mostly it is to add flavor, but some adjust the thickness to make the pulled meats "sticky" so they hang on a bun better.
    4 Vinegar was not mentioned as often as I thought it would be either.
    5 Only about 25% added dry seasonings after pulling the beef or pork.

    don't want to second guess you too much here, but when you said unfrozen did you mean it had been frozen and now it is thawed? If not previously frozen how long has it been in the bag?

  • thanks for the info

    would you also add a frozen bag of BBQ? Or should you defrost first as i had planned.

    goood info

    Don't add the frozen bag. thaw it out under running water(cold) and then simmer it. Actually thawing it shouldn't matter since it is already cooked. I would add the frozen to the water and slowly bring the water to a simmer until it is thawed. Then add the already thawed bag and simmer for approx 10 min

    I set my Nesco roasters at 200° which is just below boiling for my elevation and let the water warm up. Then I add the bags of pork or beef and use the roasting rack to place on top as a weight. Then I put the lid down.

    Depending on their state of thaw I could allow an hour to 2 hours for them to come up to heat. If they are hot before I'm ready I just back off the cooker to 150°.

  • Thanks

    thank you

  • i would typically freeze within 24 hours of the cook. if i remove a bag from the freezer it would have been defrosted in the frig over night or in a cold pan of wer. so my thoughtgs were to try the boil method to reheat vs oven or microwave.

    thanks
