vacuum sealer and re-heating advice.

So for those of you that do it, if say I cooked up a big batch of pulled pork, how would you seal small pouches of it? Say meal sized portions? Just add the pork directly or with juice, or sauce?

Okay I cheat outright cheat. At least once a year I will cook a shoulder of pork, low n slow in a roasting bag in the oven. This produces some nice meat but most importantly lots of juice, which I freeze in ice cube trays. When I then have left-overs (there are only 2 of us ) I'll add the frozen cubes to the pulled pork then bag, vac & seal. When re-heating/defrosting the juice melts and is incorporated into the pork either in the bag or in a skillet to reheat with sauce. There are some sauces you can freeze as well but I've not done that.

I'll weigh up the pork normally a mix of 250g & 500g bags and then just add the pork straight to the bag, normally there is enough moisture in the meat so i heats up almost as good a fresh.

Yes but you cook good pork, mine caters for my pork
