Making the Most of Leftover Pulled Pork
Utilizing the Versatility of Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is renowned for its versatility and is usually cooked low and slow to ensure succulent and flavorful results. When you cook pork shoulder at a low temperature over an extended period, the abundant marbling throughout the shoulder melts down, infusing the meat with rich flavors. This process guarantees that the pulled pork remains tender and juicy, even when reheated. The taste alone will make you forget about any concerns regarding your waistline!
