Freezing Pulled Pork

Sgt. Pepper - Here at home it just the wife and I. When we have leftovers they are always frozen. We just use the el cheap-o zip-lock bags and they work fine. We pack thhe meat pretty tight and roll the bags up to get out as much air as possible. I am looking into a vacuum sealer tho as I have noticed that anything left in the freezer bags much over 10 days takes on that dreaded freezer taste.

I am looking forward to hearing what others have to say as me and two friends will be cooking for a church fund raiser and may be cooking for as many as 300 people My SmookinTex and their WSM's. We'll probably be doing some freeziing.

The best investment, besides a 55, was a foodsaver. You suck the air out and freeze, thaw out by boiling and eat and the bags are reusable. Once again just my .002 . Try a search on "FoodSaver" to see what others have had to say.

I've been using a Food Saver to freeze leftovers, pulled pork included. I've always frozen it without sauce on it. I've never had the meat dry out or get a bad taste. It ends up tasting just like the day it was cooked only in some cases, better. I just put the bag (still sealed) right from the freezer into boiling water and it reheats perfectly. Sometimes I'll spray just a little apple juice on the meat before I seal the bag to add a bit more moisture but usually it doesn't need it. I provided 6 lbs of pulled pork and 6 lbs of chopped brisket for my Grandfathers 80th B-day party that I'd smoked 2 weeks before. You never would have known it was ever frozen....

I freeze any leftover pulled pork in muffin pans. After it freezes I pop the "BBQ muffins" out of the pan and freeze in Food Saver bags. Two "BBQ muffins" per sealed bag make two 4 oz. pulled pork sandwiches. They can be reheated in the bag with a microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove. Very easy and convienient.

ninetyproof,


Now THAT'S creative !!!
