Set Up
Gather a stock pot and a bag of barbacoa.
Inspect the bag of barbacoa to make sure there aren't any holes.
Cold Water
Fill the stock pot approximately halfway full with cold water.
Hot water can make the bags burst.
Add Bag of Pork
Add the bag of barbacoa to the cold water and set the burner to medium low heat.
High heat can make the bags burst.
Heat to Temp
Rotating the bag every 15 mins, heat the bag of barbacoa for 1 to 2 hours. Make sure to reach the required 165°.
Heating the barbacoa for the extended time will help to break down the meat so it will shed easier amd be more tender.
Shred the Barbacoa
Use a bag cutter to open the bag of barbacoa in a 1/3 pan. Then use tongs to shred the pork.
Make sure to remove any large pieces of fat.
Pan Up
Divide the barbacoa evenly into (2) 1/6 pans.
Place in the hot table for service, or wrap with plastic and store in the hot box for later use.
Remember to use FIFO when placing in hot box.
