Can you re-heat pork in a slow cooker?

Bit random but as the title says, does anyone know if this will be ok?

Im not sure i wouls but im funny about meat!Depends when you've cooked it and if its been refrigerated between?
I'm not sure in the slow cooker though, they don't cook on high temperatures do they?

I don't think it would be safe in a slow cooker, as to reheat meat safely, you have to heat it to a high temperature quickly, which a slow cooker wouldn't do (it's so that it's out of the danger zone for germs breeding fast, whereas in a slow cooker, it would be in that danger zone for hours) xx

Agree with a PP on the danger zone..to reheat safely the meat has to reach a very high temp for a certain amount of time to kill anything nasty. In a SC its gently heated so there would be too much time for any nasties to multiply and make you poorly.
if you want to reheat it you need to zap it. Then again I am very paranoid about these things xx

My mum always said you should never reheat pork as you could get a tapeworm. This is probably complete rubbish mind

I think you can get worms from undercooked pork.
I could be mistaken though
