What pairs well with pulled pork? ›

Sweet pickles, bread and butter pickles, and dill pickles all make perfect pairings for your smoked pulled pork meat. You don't have to stick to using just cucumber pickles, either; any veggies that can be pickled are fair game, including jalapeños, carrots, or asparagus spears.

USDA recommends using cooked pork within three to four days, kept refrigerated (40 °F or less). Refrigeration slows but does not stop bacterial growth. USDA recommends using cooked leftovers within three to four days.

Side dishes for pulled pork (or any grilled protein) can include everything from the classic mac and cheese or potato salad to creative takes on slaws, such as a carrot and apple slaw. The key is to pick and prepare side dishes that go with your meat of choice.

Pull the pork from the fridge to take the chill off while you chop a few onions and smash garlic cloves. Transfer everything to a large slow cooker and add a splash of liquid — water is great, but so is broth, apple juice, or beer if you have them handy.

Additionally, spray chicken broth or apple juice on the meat to prevent it from losing more moisture in the crockpot. To add a strong flavor during the process, white wine can also be sprayed. You can shred the pork during smoking or in the crockpot.

Rich, creamy cheeses work well. We like to use an extra sharp cheddar that holds up to the pork flavor or we sometimes will use a Jack cheese or mozzarella that adds stringy, gooey, delicious texture and flavor. And by the way, we have totally used that weird canned nacho cheese, too.

If you have reserved juices then pour that evenly over the top of the pulled pork. I often use these juices when I first serve the meat so it's common to now have any juice left when it's time to reheat. No problem! Add a stick of butter to the top of the meat.

What liquid to use to reheat pulled pork? ›

To reheat pulled pork in the oven, preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread your leftover pork into the bottom of a glass or ceramic baking dish, add a splash of leftover barbecue sauce, broth, apple juice, or other flavorful liquid, then cover the pan tightly with a layer of tinfoil.

BBQ pork can be left sitting out at room temperature, covered, for no longer than 4 hours. After 4 hours the food will need to be refrigerated or reheated.

Sell by – This creates an easy date for the retailer to know when the product has to be removed from their shelf and disposed of instead of being sold. In general, consumers have one to three days to use that meat product if it is fresh before there would be concern from a safety standpoint.

It is OK to store hot foods in the fridge. You do not have to wait for the foods to cool before you put them away.

Classic roast pork dinners are almost always served with apple sauce on the side, and gammon is often finished with a lush sticky-sweet glaze. You can even cook pork with sweet fruit flavours like apples, pears, blueberries, cranberries, raisins, oranges, almost any stone fruit, dates and even pineapple.

A light and healthy fruit salad is a great choice to balance a hearty meal. This rainbow of fresh ingredients blends berries, pineapple and kiwi with a citrusy, honey poppy seed dressing. These sweet and acidic flavors perfectly complement pulled pork.
