Found a great way to re-heat

Former Member

I smoked a pork butt last week and discovered a great way to re-heat the meat. Many rice makers come with a steamer basked. I put my pork butt in this tray and steamed it for a few minutes. Took it out and it was SO moist and tender. Makes me think of possibly steaming with something other than water (apple juice perhaps). Anyhow - just wanted to share.

Thanks. That sounds great. I'm gonna try it in the microwave with just a little apple juice.

Great idea! I have a food steamer with a basket. I'll have to try it.

Be careful you don't put a coating of sugar on the heating element of that rice steamer if you use apple juice...

I use the microwave with a covered dish, but make sure it is on 70 power so it doesn't overcook the meat. I can't taste the AJ in mine.

same here Cal. I find the mw with short burst and frequent turns results in great results. Same if vacpak and frozen; directly from freezer to mw with short burst and frequent flips.

I take mine out of the freezer in the vacpak and put them into boiling water. I always juice my butt with a little Okie sauce when I freeze them. They always come out good.

Steamer idea sounds good. I MW at 40 for about 3 minutes. Use a cereal bowl with a dish on top. Shake it at halfway point. Let it rest for a few minutes to finish.
