      <content>it can be frozen with excellent results.  wrap in plastic wrap, then in foil, and throw in a freezer bag.  i freeze logs of 10/12 ounces or so, or enough for two servers.  i reheat with a bit of water, with a cover, in the microwave.</content>

      <content>yep, do it all the time.

Best with one of those freezer bag machines.  Second best in zip locks, squeeze all the air out.

Sometimes when I heat it back up I will put in a little apple juice to get a little more moisture in it.

      <content>I freeze it in chunks...not "pulled"...Less surface area exposed etc....Seems to work best for me!

Fun &amp; Enjoy!</content>

      <content>Yes you can freeze it, but you will lose quality.  The viscosity of fat and overall flavor degrade.

That said, it takes a long time to prepare pulled pork, so it's often better to freeze extra than to cook small amounts everytime.</content>

      <content>Yes, you can freeze it very successfully.  I let mine thaw completely before attempting to reheat.  I've never had any problems in terms of loss of quality.  </content>

      <content>I always freeze it in the juice from the pan/crockpot.  Perfect results.</content>

      <content>Of course it can. Reheat it in the microwave so it doesn't dry out, and be prepared for it to lose some of its flavour - you'll probably want to add some extra sauce when you heat it up. </content>
