  • Low heat keeps it from drying out. A teaspoon of water or a light brush of oil helps.
  • Food that was already cooked dries out fast. Start checking at the low end of the time.

Reheating pulled pork

Reheat pulled pork at 320°F (160°C) for 6 minutes, straight from the fridge. That is gentler than cooking it, so the outside does not dry out before the middle is hot.

Leftovers are safe once the middle reaches 165°F (74°C), and keep 3 to 4 days in the fridge, as USDA advises.

Questions

How long do I reheat pulled pork in the air fryer?

6 minutes at 320°F (160°C), straight from the fridge. Check that the middle is hot before you eat it.

Why use the air fryer rather than the microwave?

The hot air heats leftovers from the outside in and keeps the surface dry, so they stay crisp instead of turning soft and soggy.

How long do leftovers keep?

3 to 4 days in the fridge, as USDA advises. Frozen, they keep their best for 3 to 4 months.

Can I reheat pulled pork from frozen?

Thaw leftovers in the fridge first. These times are for leftovers from the fridge; straight from frozen, the outside overheats before the middle warms through.

Is it safe to reheat leftovers in an air fryer?

Yes, once the middle is hot. USDA advises reheating leftovers to 165°F (74°C), and eating or freezing them within 3 to 4 days.
