Cooked pork should be cooled to room temperature, then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. It will keep for 3-4 days. To extend its shelf life, cooked pork can be frozen for 2-3 months; wrap tightly in freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. When reheating, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to kill any potential bacteria.
