Add drippings to pork after it is pulled?

nolaegghead

Getting back to the original question, once you learn to experiment and taste, you can answer your own questions like this.

In this case, take a little pork, add some drippings, maybe with the fat, maybe without, and taste it.  If it tastes better, then apply that to the whole batch.

If it doesn't work out you can add some Pyrophosphates (AKA "cat crack") and feed the neighborhood cats.   This article is very appealing to the chemist in me.  http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-03/chemistry-kibble

Thank you, Michael! Bet your pulled pork was swimming in Coke, but that is NOT the way to use Coke in the re-heating process! Isn't it funny that more and more eggers are admitting that they too use the Coca-Cola secret for re-warming pulled pork? 

That brings up another series of questions which you ought to read and then answer while standing in front of a mirror!

Do you EVER wonder why you are so negative about so many things including your occasional rants against the BGE itself? Do you EVER say anything about anything in a positive tone? I realize due health problems you can't have salt, no sugar, limited red meat, few spices, no popular rubs, no popular BBQ sauces and on and on and on. But for the rest of us in Eggdom why not realize that we CAN and we DO enjoy tasty foods? Sorry, Michael, but you honestly are the most negative person I have ever known!

Now Good Night, Michael!

Was there any point to that diatribe, Ron? Do you feel better now? Sure hope so. You really don't handle criticism or differing opinions well at all, do you?

And you don't know me... at all.

Coke sounded disgusting when I first heard of it. It WAS disgusting when I tried it. Never again. To each his own.

I won't try it because I rarely ever drink sodas, and even more rare for me to drink a cola.  I would rather pour some beer on my pulled pork if I thought it needed moisture than a can of carbonic acid and way too much sugar, however the chicken stock idea sounds pretty good to me.

That's cool with me. Sorry that you never want to try it after having such a pre-conceived idea how "bad" it would taste! That is why I always preach about never telling people what you added! Just stand back and accept the accolades with a simple smile!
As for pouring beer in then yes trying chicken stock would be better IMO! Sorry you don't want to experiment. The doubters here seem to think that you should make soup out of re-heated pulled pork. If someone added that much Coca-Cola then no wonder it tastes crappy!

I didn't say I thought it would taste bad.  How did you come to that conclusion?

All you need to do is take the juice that's in the pan after it rests and mix in when you pull. There's usually plenty. Once I started doing this, I've never had dry pulled pork when I reheat.
