Leftover pork roast...what to do to keep it moist?

how should I use it up?  I think I have microwaved before and it ends up pretty dry.  What about sauteing in butter?  or reheating another way without shredding?  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Re: Leftover pork roast...what to do to keep it moist?

  • i know with rice, you're supposed to soak a paper towel in water and lay it over the bowl while microwaving in order to re-moisten the food. maybe try that?  or perhaps a little olive oil in a pan might work to re-heat it.

      i typically store it with whatever juice it cooked in, so that it stays moist in the fridge. haven't had too much trouble re-heating.

  • how to use up? maybe a stirfry...or cubed in green beans

    you could eat it cold on sandwiches...maybe with a good mustard sauce

    You could reheat it with a can of tomatoes...or beef broth

  • I make shredded pork tacos.  Saute some onions and a jalapeno pepper in a little bit of oil.  When softened, add the pork and shred it up with your cooking utensil. Cook on medium high until it starts to crisp and brown (about 5 min?).  I like to season with salt and pepper, and sometimes a bit of cumin.  Then serve on tortillas with salsa, avocado, and lime juice.  Easy and yummy, and I don't think it really gets dry since you heat it so fast.
