I never freeze the pulled pork only because it always ends up getting eaten as leftovers within 2-3 days anyway, so freezing it is unnecessary. I'd only freeze it if I needed to keep it from going bad for more than a week. Having said that, if I were to make this ahead of time for a party, I would make it the day before and just refrigerate. I would reheat it in the microwave if I just wanted to eat a small individual portion for myself. If I wanted to reheat the whole batch for a few people, I would do so in the oven. It's been a while since I've reheated in the oven, but I would probably go low at 200-225 degrees or so for about 15 minutes. I would keep an eye on it starting at the 10 to 15 minute mark and adjust the time accordingly. If it's plenty warm enough, then by all means remove it from the oven. If it's not yet hot, then definitely leave it in for a bit longer. I hope this helps and good luck!FlavorFoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210970272093140707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107292117754488552.post-49294516564828545492022-12-07T19:13:14.279-08:002022-12-07T19:13:14.279-08:00Do you ever make this ahead and freeze, then thaw ...Do you ever make this ahead and freeze, then thaw and reheat?

I prefer the hickory-flavored liquid smoke over the mesquite one, but either does the job. That's a good point that you bring up regarding the bbq sauce where it can be overly sweet at times. And brining the pork butt overnight definitely can't hurt either. I'm sure your friends and family enjoy going over to your place whenever this is on the menu.FlavorFoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210970272093140707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107292117754488552.post-80889916152492499572022-03-20T16:18:35.021-07:002022-03-20T16:18:35.021-07:00This is my go-to recipe: my only changes are that ...This is my go-to recipe: my only changes are that I brine the pork butt overnight, & I use the bbq sauce (I agree, Sweet Baby Ray's is the best! I like their Spicy n Sweet variation),but use it sparingly,ekeing it out with the pan juices. It makes the flavor less cloyingly candy-sweet & lets the smokiness of the meat shine.I've had compliments from guys who actually smoke their briskets & pork butts for hours! That Liquid Smoke is an amazing, all-natural product!

That's what's great about cooking - there are no rules. Whether you messed up or not, you're bound to learn something and adjust to make it better the next time. In the end I'm glad your pulled pork turned out good.FlavorFoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210970272093140707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107292117754488552.post-7798248703797539772017-02-04T11:30:42.882-08:002017-02-04T11:30:42.882-08:00I messed up twice.

I just added it at that point and rubbed it in. Second, I wasn't getting any juices out of my pork butt. Or if I was they were evaporating. But I hadn't planned on using them anyway. When it was ready and coarsely pulled I added spicy vinegar BBQ sauce by THE SHED as the base. I had sweeter sauces on hand for those that like it that way. So so yummy! On semi toasted Kaiser rolls. And the real key is to pull it coarsely. Gotta have the texture with big chunks. Outstanding! My bottle of Yuengling went perfect with it. Okay... Bottles, plural.Big Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160996725995738122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107292117754488552.post-37821861850013709322015-04-27T20:47:15.314-07:002015-04-27T20:47:15.314-07:00Hi @AnalyzeA, I'm glad this recipe is a succes...Hi @AnalyzeA, I'm glad this recipe is a success in your household as it is mine. I have to admit that using the King's Hawaiian Rolls for the pulled pork sandwiches was my brother's idea. I agree that this is a great recipe since it's so easy to make. Anytime we have a party with family over in our house, the kids always love making their own slider sandwiches. If the kids love it, then it's a hit!FlavorFoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210970272093140707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107292117754488552.post-21396184943988877982015-04-27T19:56:24.733-07:002015-04-27T19:56:24.733-07:00The Hawaiian rolls are a great idea!

I tried it again with the other two sauces (lexington vinegar and south carolina mustard) but this original one was definitely our favorite sauce. It is honestly so easy to make, and we preferred it to a comparison with our favorite BBQ Sauce (Phil's BBQ Sauce from San Diego, CA), and we actually preferred the recipe sauce, which is not always the case. This is sooooooooooo yummy and will definitely be a repeat recipe in our house!!! Go Cook's Illustrated!!!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149503511371513159noreply@blogger.com
