To prepare, you can gently reheat the pork roast in your oven or microwave. For oven reheating, place it in a baking dish with a small amount of liquid, like broth or water, and cover with foil. Heat at a moderate temperature until warmed through. If microwaving, cover the roast and heat in short intervals, stirring occasionally, to prevent drying. Ensure the roast is heated to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and optimal texture.
