Reheating pulled pork

Smoked a shoulder yesterday and I’ve got a ton of leftover. I didn’t keep my drippings. I’ve seen a lot of people use apple juice to keep moist in a reheat. I plan on keeping it in my foil pan and reheating in oven.

Advice?

    Add a can of coke to a pan while reheating. I learned that one here on the forum and it works great every time.

    I like to use this.

    I vac seal the leftovers in 1 lb or so packages (no add-ins, except maybe a little eastern NC vinegar sauce) and reheat with sous vide. About 160°, 20-30 minutes. Best method I've ever tried. IMO, Coke is the worst, bar none.

    Don’t have sous vide ability. I needed a poor man’s method.

    A pot on the stove on simmer will be about the same- it will run a little hotter (180-200). So you can either cycle on and off or go shorter time.

    Reheat with apple cider vinegar.  It's fantastic.

    An alternative to keeping it moist with liquids is to put some on a piece of foil or small pan inside the toaster oven. I do it this way to make “carnitas” for tacos and salads. Gives it a nice crisp while the leftover cooled fat melts to keep it relatively moist.

    We just had leftovers from one I did yesterday.  Aluminum foil in the oven did the trick perfectly and kept the bark intact.  I don’t shred the whole shoulder.  We pull off what we are going to eat as needed.  I like to have the pork in nice pieces not strings.

    In a pinch I’ll use a silicone strainer in a shallow bowl with a little water cover with a damp paper towel and nuke til warm
