How do you reheat your Pulled Pork/Brisket

I have found a great way to reconstitute my pulled pork and brisket. 
Requirements:
Pile of pulled pork or brisket
CI skillet or griddle (flat side up) HOT
A squirt bottle of water or some of the liquid used for injection (cup or glass if no squirt bottle available)
a cloche or some other dome-shaped lid

Place the meat on the griddle and squirt some of the liquid around the edge of the meat, then immediately cover with the cloche.  This takes less than a minute to "steam" the meat back into its moist, succulent state. It doesn't take a lot of liquid to achieve this. 

Had reheated PP for dinner - SO GOOD!!!

    good idea, but if you have a SV, set for 160ºF your pulled pork will be ready in 20 minutes and will still be ready in two or three hours.

    I will try this.  I've normally grabbed enough for a meal (butt, brisket slices, ribs, whatever), wrapped in foil, then steam in either my double-boiler thingie or my rice cooker.  It takes awhile, and dirties a lot of hardware.  
    I always have a "dirty" frypan, with breakfast bacon grease, setting on the stove at suppertime, ready to go with your technique.  Thanks!

    If it’s a single serving, I‘ll wrap in a wet paper towel and microwave for 44 seconds and check after that if it might need a little more time.

    You don't even need SV, just a bag of meat in a pot of water at ±160°. Not hard to keep it there on a stovetop burner without SV for only 20 minutes. 

    I have a bread cloche, but I've never used it for anything but bread.


    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    microwave a banana peel for 18 seconds, then drop a bag of pork butt in a SV bath at 140F until it is warmed up.

    A large pot with a good lid gets the same result.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Well technically you don’t really need an Egg for anything either.  You can make do with a stove and some liquid smoke.

    An African banana peel, or a European banana peel?

    I vacume seal leftover pulled pork and brisket.  I simply submerse the bag in warm water to get it back up to temp.   Cut open bag and serve.

    I hate BBQ reheated in a microwave!

    hmmmm...that makes me rethink my banana peel microwave advise.  in full disclosure, I learned that tip on Weeds.

    There's a "power" button on everyone's microwave that does wonders for reheating leftovers. Knock it down to 30-40% and you'll find a new appreciation for the utility of the microwave oven. I spent half my life nuking everything at full 100% power and hating rubbery dried up results. If it's a large cut of meat or something precious like a prime rib I may SV it.

    Liquid smoke is quite literally liquid smoke.

    It's a decent product for what it is. It's not a synthetic flavoring agent like most people may think... it's literally smoker bong water.

    I read it on here and didn't believe it until I tried it but a can of soda and the pork in a pan on the stove top makes for great pork leftovers.
