Pre cooking meats

[Powder5735]

Hey. I am going on vacation next month. I am not sure if i can bring my smoker. So I was thinking of smoking ribs and pulled pork before hand. How would you guys suggest saving it and reheating it? Also should i change the cooking in any way?

Ribs don't last or we don't get enough.

Pulled pork is a left over staple in our house.

I have never had any luck re-heating ribs. Either that or I simply don't want to because I think it will be gross. I want my ribs fresh or not at all.

Pulled pork should re-heat just fine, I don't think you really need to change the way you cook it. Maybe store it in something with some liquid. You should be able to reheat in a micro with a little liquid also. I like steam for reheating when it comes to Q. Have you considered chicken or turkey as well? Turkey, I think, reheats particularly well.

On Fridays I usually tell people I'm going to smoke something this weekend. They tend to get the wrong idea...

I don't care for the ribs reheated (but maybe I just don't know how to do it), but the pulled pork, we reheat with great results. I cook as normal, let it rest then pull. Then I immediately put it in zip lock bags and submerse in ice water bath till cold. Then freeze. To reheat, I add a little apple juice to either in a pan on the stove, or a roaster if it's a large amount. Sometimes I'll even add some BBQ sauce just to give it a little more moisture.

ribs - smoke and fridge. Then vac seal and freeze. To reheat, put vac sealed ribs in hot water. I bring to a boil and then tirn off. Drop meat in and set for 20-30 minutes. Comes out as good as fresh every time.

pulled pork - same
