Pork Butts and Reheat question

BlkJeep · Nov 10, 2009

I had lots of help tonight with putting the rubs on two butts. I"m planning on putting them on the UDS Wednesday night. Pulling Thursday when they are done and taking to deer camp this weekend. So my question what is the best way to reheat a pulled butt? Do I add juice(s) or broth(s)? I like it cold but the lady (with purple hair) likes it warm and so will most of the guys at camp. Any suggestions would be awesome.

We butchered hogs two weeks ago and I thawed out "roasts" for camp eats. One rubbed with sea salt, ground pepper, paprika and brown sugar. The other is with Cowboy Chris's Brown Sugar and Honey rub. I've never used it before but thought I'd try it. He is local and I like to support local when I can.

The best helper ever!

She doesn't mind getting her hands dirty and she deer hunts with me. Can't beat GREAT company.

Nice butts! :biggrin: Right? :lol:

Well cooking tomorrow so cooked pron will follow after pulled. Thanks for starring.

Wow, nice help you got there.

As for reheating, I've used a microwave and oven. I liked the microwave the best as the oven seemed to dry out the pulled pork...

Don't forget to post pron of the butts when cooked...

Oh, and good luck hunting.

Sounds like you've got it planned out. I'd reheat mine in a skillet over the fire. If you think it's too dry you could add a little something.

Yeah! :lol: Nice butts! :biggrin:

You're a lucky guy, mine won't even go in Bass Pro Shops with me. My little girl loves to help in the kitchen too.

I wrap them in foil, place them on a rack in a covered roasting pan for several hours at 275*. Then I remove the lid and the foil, give the meat a quick baste with the spilled juices and crank her up to 325* for 15 minutes or so to crisp up the bark again. Pull let rest and pull pull pull.

I reheat meat in the microwave, but I put it in a ziploc bag and that holds the moisture in so it doesn't dry out. Just don't over heat or you will melt the bag, but the storage bags and freezer bags are pretty tough in the microwave, but sandwich bags will melt pretty easy.

I guess I wasn't real clear. They BOTH will hunt, fish and get their hands dirty! :grin:

I had some previously pulled pork in the freezer that I took out yesterday and today heated it in the microwave with a little bit of Bone Suckin Sauce - Hot. It was in a zip lock freezer bag and came out very well except it coulda been a bit hotter, I should have put it in for 3+ minutes instead of 2.5.

You've got some great looking helpers there?

Microwave w/sauce

If you have a vacuum sealer, seal the pulled pork with a little apple juice in the bags, then you just reheat them by dropping them into a pot of boiling water.
If you dont have a vacuum sealer, you can do the same thing with good freezer thick baggies, just be careful not to get them close to the heat, they are thinner and will melt.

Ditto.

I havent tried the apple juice, but when I vacuum mine, I sprinkle a little more rub, and sometimes some sauce. Into the pot over medium heat. When the water starts to boil, its ready.

I did it in a skillet with a little sauce and a splash of apple juice, worked out pretty well

BlkJeep · Nov 12, 2009

Update with Pron

Pulled and wrapped with foil sometime in the night. They were at 195` Got up and pulled them both before work. I think this will work. :biggrin:

Thanks for ideas to reheat. I might a couple ways and see which works best.

whadgya need the knife for?

deguerre · Nov 12, 2009

C'mon. Fess up. How much did you eat while pulling? I couldn't resist those!

microwave, really, you guys are killing me, heavy duty ziploc freezer bags, boiling water, little bit of vinegar and red pepper. Only takes about 5 minutes, wont dry out.

^^^^^^what he said^^^^^^^^

I have ahad a lot of success with ziplocking, refrigerating, then reheating in (in the bag) in the microwave. I also give a few sprays of AJ and a dash of rub.

jds62f · Nov 12, 2009

you could also put it in a slow cooker. I tried the microwave (sans ziplock bags) and the oven and it gets dried out.

Will def try early mornin smokin's method too
