What's the Best Meat to Make Pulled Pork?

Pork loin is a lean cut that’s great for a lighter pulled pork option. It cooks evenly in a slow cooker and works well with a flavorful sauce. While not as rich, it's still tender and shreds nicely when cooked low and slow. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt or Boston butt) is the traditional choice for pulled pork. It has more fat and connective tissue, which creates a juicy, tender result. Use this cut if you want a richer texture and traditional flavor.

How do I store leftover Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork?

Allow the meat to cool down completely after cooking. Once cooled, transfer the shredded pork to an airtight container to maintain its freshness. Properly stored in the refrigerator, leftovers will typically remain flavorful and safe to eat for approximately 3 to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.

What is the best way to reheat BBQ Pulled Pork?

For best results when reheating, aim for a slow warming process. Using a skillet over medium-low heat is effective; add a splash of broth, water, or extra BBQ sauce if the pork seems dry. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave.

Can I prepare this Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork in advance?

Yes, preparing this dish ahead of time is easy and will save you a bit of time. The homemade BBQ sauce can also be prepared a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to combine it with the pork in the crock pot.
