Was just gifted about an 8lb finished and fully cooked whole Butt. What should I do with this?
Reheat/Pull/Freeze or Freeze/Reheat/Pull.
We've been eating pulled pork for two days now. Need a change but woud hate to lose this. Primeggister1's recipe is absolutely awesome!

Reheat (if you must to pull)...pull...freeze in 'meal sized' portions.
-
I always chop it up and place sandwich size amounts in individual packets of foil. Add a bit of sauce in each packet to keep it from drying out when reheated. Place packets in a freezer bag. Pull them out anytime for a quick dinner.

Can I freeze it whole? Thaw and reheat whole/then pull in 2 weeks time? (Got a Curling team BBQ then....I promise, I won't steal the credit. :evil: )
-
Potion for 40 or just leave it whole?
-
Same question as above. Can I just leave it whole? Got a BBQ to attend in 2 weeks.

Gee what a dilemma, tell you what Tim, send it my way and let me take care of your problem :P :woohoo:

As per Molly, I have put the whole thing into the freezer. Will thaw, re-heat to 195 internal with a touch of Cocacola, then pull. Should be good as new.
-
If you freeze it whole, you have a MASS block of meat to thaw! Better to pull, then freeze....IMO.
-
Wrap in plastic wrap.Then foil and freeze.I do it all the time and the reheated PP is GREAT!
-
Freeze it whole and use it for a curling stone. It will probably make the ice kinda greasy, though. Just a thought. :silly:
