Reheating pulled pork for a party

[Vlad1054]

I'm making a few pork butts today for the game Sunday which should be done some time late tonight.
After they are done and sit in the cooler for a few hours I was going to pull them and put them in a pan in the fridge to cool, then vacuum seal them and freeze them.

We are heading to a friend house about 6PM Sunday for a Super Bowl party. What's the best way to heat them so they are back up to temperature for the party?

We are only a 5 minute ride away from their place.
For a party, I always reheat pulled pork in a slow cooker with a splash of apple juice—keeps it juicy and flavorful without drying out. If you're prepping ahead, vacuum sealing and reheating in hot water works great too. I recently did this for a wedding and paired the setup with a stunning emerald green decor theme I found here https://balloons.online/blog/best-emerald-green-wedding-decor-ideas-for-your-big-day/ —really elevated the whole vibe. Just keep the pork on “warm” once heated and serve with fresh buns and sauces on the side.
Thanks.

On Sunday, a few hours before the party, place the vacuum-sealed bags (or the thawed pork if already opened) in a sous-vide bath or a pot of simmering water (around 165°F) for about 45–60 minutes until fully heated through. If you're not using vacuum bags, a covered pan in the oven at 300°F with a splash of broth or apple juice works well too—heat until it hits at least 165°F internally.
Once hot, wrap the pork (still sealed or covered) in a towel and place it in a cooler to keep warm during the short drive.
At your friend’s house, it should still be nice and hot—just give it a stir and maybe a quick zap in the microwave if it needs a touch-up.

Looks like an older thread, but I will comment. My method is very similar. For a large get together I have smoked and prepared earlier to freeze in quart bags, (Quart bag size fit in the slow cooker well even if not fully thawed) I slow thaw them a day or so in the fridge ahead of time. Once thawed I put them in crock pot along with extra chicken broth and heat for about 3 hours. Traveling, the slow cooker pot will stay warm for an hour or so until I reach my destination I can re-plug in until the feast begins.
