Chef's Tips

• Make sure the foil seal is tight to retain moisture during the long cooking time.
• Use a meat thermometer if desired—internal temp should be around 200°F for ultimate tenderness.
• Liquid smoke adds depth, but can be omitted if preferred.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a covered dish in a 300°F oven until warmed through.
