Cooking Pulled Pork: Tips & Inspiration

Pulled Pork Recipes FAQ

Can you freeze pulled pork?

Yes, pulled pork can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container or freezer bag to preserve its flavour and texture.

Can you reheat pulled pork?

Yes, pulled pork can be reheated. You can warm it up in the oven, on the stovetop, or in the microwave, adding a little liquid (like BBQ sauce or broth) to keep it moist.

What is the best cut of meat for pulled pork?

The best cuts of meat for pulled pork are pork shoulder or pork neck. These cuts have the right balance of fat and meat, which makes them ideal for slow cooking.

How long do I cook pulled pork?

Pulled pork typically takes 6–8 hours to cook on low heat in a slow cooker or about 4–5 hours in the oven at a low temperature (around 150°C/300°F), depending on the size of the cut.

What sauce is best for pulled pork?

The best sauce for pulled pork often depends on personal preference, but a classic BBQ sauce, whether sweet, tangy, or smoky, is a popular choice. Some people also enjoy vinegar-based sauces for a more tangy flavour.

Do you let pulled pork rest before shredding?

Yes, it’s recommended to let pulled pork rest for about 10–15 minutes after cooking before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more moist and flavourful.

How much pulled pork do I serve per person?

A good guideline is to serve around 150–200 grams (5–7 ounces) of pulled pork per person if it’s the main dish. If there are a lot of side dishes, you can reduce the amount slightly.
