Sous Vide<\/strong>: Put the leftover pork in a vacuum-sealed bag. Then heat in sous vide machine set to 165\u00b0F for at least 45 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nPro Tip:<\/strong> When reheating your pulled pork leftover, I highly recommend adding some moisture along with the pork, if your reheating method allows this. The moisture can be in the form of barbecue sauce, broth, or reserved cooking juices (recommended). This will help to prevent it from drying out and make it tastier. Note that your pulled pork won’t taste as good without the juice because it has all the flavors in the first place<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFAQs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
1. Can I Eat Pulled Pork After 6 Days?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Pulled pork is safe for consumption after the sixth day if stored in the freezer. But if you’ve only refrigerated it the whole time, your pulled pork is best thrown away. Don’t eat it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Is Pulled Pork Good After 5 Days in the Fridge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n I don’t advise consuming it after the fifth day. After the fourth day, a lot of bacteria would have grown inside, and you might get sick from consuming the pork. If you still think it looks good, it’s always best to use your senses to determine if it’s still safe to eat. If the pork has an off, rancid smell, strange texture, or unusual color, it has likely gone bad. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nConclusion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n And there you have it! Now you know how long pulled pork lasts in the fridge and freezer and how to tell if it has gone bad. Remember to always store your leftover pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator at a temperature of 40\u00b0F (4\u00b0C) or below, and consume it within four days of cooking. If you’re not planning to consume it within that timeframe, it’s better to freeze it for later use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it’s tempting to save leftovers out of the safe storage period, always use your sense to determine if they’re still safe to eat. If the pork has an off smell, strange texture, or unusual color, don’t take it. It may be hard to throw it away. But take it as a lesson for the next time you’re trying to store your leftover pulled pork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
As someone who cooks and experiments with different recipes every other day, I can tell you cooked pulled pork is only safe for eating for up to four days in the fridge.
