Reheating Pulled Pork

GATraveller

I've been playing around lately trying to find the perfect liquid to add to leftover pulled pork.  I've used water, apple juice, Coca-Cola, even Dr. Pepper and all with good results.  This past weekend I ran across a box in the pantry (that I forgot was there) and after eating think my search has finally ended.



It's in a box but actually individual packets so shelf life is extended.



I mixed one packet with 1 cup water then added to meat in a pyrex dish and covered with foil.  Put in oven @ 225 for about 30 mins and the leftovers came out like fresh pulled.  I haven't seen anyone else mention using it before but it's now my go-to method.

Hope this helps!!

I use that all the time to season peas, beans, etc.   good stuff.

Sous vide works really well for reheating.  I don't use any added liquids.  This is by far the best method that I have found.

I use that for butter beans. Never thought about pulled pork. Then again my packs are foodsavered with sauce and in a warm bath to heat up

The immersion circulator  does an outstanding job reheating pulled pork.
I believe you could cook the pork a day or more in advance and reheat it in the water bath and nobody could tell the difference.

Thanks! I have been a Coke-a-Cola fan for reheating for years, but this is an interesting suggestion! Gotta GOYA source reference? I've never heard of it before.

Walmart in Alabama carry's Goya as well as most grocery stores.
Goya makes quiet a few Mexican or Latin type products in the stores around here.
I have tried the one in the picture above, it has a pronounced hammy flavor, well suited for use in dried beans or something similar. I'm sure how it would work out to add to reheated pulled pork. It may be great.

As was suggested to me by @SGH and @theyolksonyou, put pulled pork in foodsaver bags, vacuum packed and simply rewarm in simmering water for 30 minutes.  No sauce required assuming they were seasoned up front and tastes as good as when pulled off the egg.  I'm a no sauce type.  For what its worth.  Happy Egging!

I usually just use some beef broth. I like to slice a pork butt when it has been refrigerated and add some beef broth to it and reheat as slices. Awesome. I rarely ever have enough pulled pork leftover to freeze ( I tend to keep munching on it until it is all gone ), but if I do,  I usually add a small amount of beef broth to it as well when reheating.

Thanks @Chubbs for the brain kick. I forgot about how good butter beans are. One of my favorites from years ago.

I bought it at Publix in the ethnic food section.

Guess I need to look into purchasing a food saver and Sous Vide.  SWMBO thanks you!!  

Everyone in my family uses a different sauce so we don't apply till plated (or bun'd).
