in Pork
Hiya Gang!

I made 3 shoulders for my daughters first party on Saturday but only ended up needing 2 so I left the third un-pulled and wrapped in foil. I'd like to bring it in to work to share with my coworkers but I don't have access to an oven at work, can I reheat in a crockpot?

Thanks in advance.

    yes..

    It may take a minute, or several, but yes...

    I'd put enough apple juice just to cover the bottom of the pot, then let it ride..

    Should I leave it in the foil or take it out?

    I would reheat at home (out of the current foil and in a then foiled pan with some apple juice and if possible on a rack above the liquid) and when heated up then pull. Reheat the pulled pork in a crock pot.
    For the future, always easier to work with pork that is pulled upon completion of the cook.  FWIW-

    Hmm so reheat tonight enough to pull, then cool, then reheat tomorrow in crock pot?  

    Thanks for the tip about pulled being easier to work with, for whatever reason I thought it would be easier to keep it whole...

    Captain is right about being easier to work with if pulled directly after. You need a vacum sealer.   I put in portions for 3-4 people then seal and freeze.  Makes great egg rolls, quesadilla's and tacos.    I've also sealed larger pieces before shredding and lightly chopped in a food processor and made chicken or tuna salad style for sandwiches.

    Bagged in the SV is ideal for this.

    Agree with @YukonRon sous vide is the best way to warm it up. It will be just like it came off the egg.
