Freezing pork butt?

When I cook pork butts for customers, I always foil, vacuum pack, and then freeze the butts before giving to them. I do make the one concession of cutting the butts in half before foiling and such. I then give the customers instructions on how to thaw, reheat and pull the butts. The customers keep coming back so they must like what I am doing.

Not sure whether I understand your second question on thawing out and tastiness. Please clarify.

To clarify the second question, if it's in the freezer for 6 weeks vs 6 months, can it still be thawed and eaten?

If it is vacuum packed and in a true freezer and not the freezer portion of a refrigerator, you should be okay.

Please explain the difference between a true freezer and the freezer portion of a refridgerator. Thanks.

I think the self defrost/no frost freezers on a regular house refrigerator go through defrosting/heat cycles.

I believe the commercial meat freezers don't have a heater cycle.

OK. I was gonna say, the freezer on my large side by side kitchen unit sure is good. Everything is hard as a rock! I also have 2 chest freezers in the garage.

When I have leftover pork butt I shred it, add a little bbq sauce to moisten it, then freeze it in muffin tins. Each bbq "muffin" is about 4-5 ozs. Drop a frozen one in a coffee mug and microwave for about a minute and it's just right for a quick sandwich.

Tom got it right. The defrost cycles is exactly what I was talking about.

Thanks Tom.
