Is Pulled pork better in the oven or slow cooker?

Results: The oven roasting method using the pork shoulder definitely yielded the best results. The flavour of the pulled pork was amazing and the texture wasn't grainy or spongy like the pork that was cooked in the slow cooker (probably because the tenderloin is a much leaner cut).

Should I wrap pulled pork in foil?

Wrap in aluminum foil to keep the meat from getting too much smoke and to catch the moisture being released during the cooking process. Maintain the fire: No need to add any more wood or coals; just maintain the fire and let the butt finish cooking.

How long should Pulled pork rest?

Give it a rest: As with all grilled or roasted meats, you should let a cooked pork shoulder rest before chopping or serving it. This “relaxes” the meat, making it juicier and more flavorful. Let it rest on a cutting board for 15 to 20 minutes loosely tented with foil.

Is it OK to leave pork out overnight?

Unrefrigerated Pork Raw pork should never be left unrefrigerated for any length of time; keep it in the refrigerator right up until you're ready to cook it to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Can I cook pulled pork the day before?

You can definitely reheat no problem, I've done this a few times. I also cook mine in the slow cooker, I leave it for about 8 hours on low and it literally falls apart as you lift it out.
