Can you freeze Boston butt after it’s cooked?
Absolutely! Freezing cooked Boston butt is a great way to extend its shelf life and enjoy its delicious flavor at a later time. To freeze the meat, allow it to cool to room temperature for about an hour before placing it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible from the container or bag to prevent freezer burn. The cooked Boston butt can be frozen for up to three months in the freezer at a consistent temperature of 0°F (-18°C). When ready to eat, thaw the meat in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before serving. Enjoy your leftover Boston butt in sandwiches, tacos, or as a main dish in your favorite recipes!
