Can I Make This Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Ahead Of Time?

Pulled pork is definitely a recipe that can be made ahead of time . Perfect if you are trying to get a head start on the week or prepping for a party. For best results, I would make the pulled pork no more than the day before . (And also keep an extra half cup or so of the cooking liquid in case you think the pulled pork is looking a bit drier than you would like.)

Can You Overcook Pulled Pork?

It's pretty hard to overcook a pork shoulder or Boston Butt when using a crockpot. As long as there's moisture in the slow cooker, it should be fine. (Just one of the reasons I love my new hamilton beach slow cooker with a clear lid. I can always see what’s going on!)

How Long Will The Cooked BBQ Pork Last?

Leftover pork will be good in the fridge for 3 to 4 days . I recommend reheating the pork in the microwave on 50% power and then you can put it back into the crockpot to keep warm while serving.
