Chef Cisco I watched your video back in December of last year (2022). I've always felt the skin on the tail end was wasted because I never thought to cut it back like you did yours. I'm so sorry I'm just getting back to say I tried your technique (using my own marinade of course) for my pork shoulder dinner for New Years 2023 and it was the best pork shoulder I've ever made. Thank you for sharing and I will be making my pork shoulder this way from now on.

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

Thank you for taking the time to come back and leave this comment. It is awesome that you tried it even after thinking the skin was being wasted. But I imagine you realized that no self respecting Puerto Rican would ever waste skin. Lol

Lol..

[@ncnuggets]

We have a spot in Buffalo, NY called the Niagara Cafe. The pernil is something special. Seems like they use very little seasoning but people from all over the city and more come to eat. You see the locals in the hood and people in business suits. Great thing to see. I had a friend who went vegan about a year before I took him there. He said he just wanted to try the rice and ended up eating rotisserie chicken, pernil and even asked for a plate to take home.

[@Jahida360]

I wish my father's house on Parkside was a restaurant the best Buffalo NY Puerto Rican cooking .... I know about the Niagara Cafe - for it's popularity their flavors are not consistent which is sad - our culture has amazing recipes....

[@norbertomoran4575]

Hey Cisco, I’m making one on my smoker today. Do you think 3-4 hours at 350 is okay? Should I cover it in the beginning?

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

It really depends on the weight and desired end temperature. That is more reliable than time and cooking temp. It will always vary. But at a consistent 350 degrees it’s roughly 25 minutes per pound. But know your skin will come out much darker with smoke. Almost black. It still tastes good, slightly better because it’s smoked. But the hardcore Puerto Ricans who do not understand smoked meats will swear you burned it. Good luck!

The answer varies based on the actual oven, the weight of the meat, the temperature of the meat when it goes into the oven, and how much time you have available. I will explain more in the new LP video I’ll be releasing this year with more details. Thanks for watching. Be sure to hit the bell.

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

I did not specify cook times. I was trying not to make my video a full featured film length. Google offers general cook time information on various meats. I chose not to tell you exactly because cook time is dependent on 4 basic factors. 1. Temperature of the meat as it is going in. 2. Total weight of the meat. 3. Desired cook/final temp of meat (chunks va. Shredded etc). 4. The actual oven (not every oven is really cooking at 300 just because it is set on 300. Hope you can understand.

[@siara1016]

What temperature and how long do you set a 27 pound pernil?

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

Even Google has more than one answer to this. The higher the temperature the faster it cooks. But for more tender meat, lower is better. Especially a 27# leg. That’s an old pig. And hard to fit in an oven. I tried it once. Get a meat thermometer that you can leave in the meat to monitor and focus on the temperature of the meat. When it is done, it is done. But plan on at least 30 minutes per pound

[@NickSonnega]

[@billdowtre7833]

Iam gonna try this but on a smoker

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

I smoke pork too. As you can imagine, the skin gets really dark and the smoke changes the flavor of it(many closed minded family members were not fans). I like it though. But the smoke does enhance the flavor of the meat. Enjoy

[@billdowtre7833]

Did you smoke urs with the skin facing down or up on the grilll grate

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

Always up so you can still get the crunchy skin. If you are not interested in eating the crunchy skin, you can use pork butts. Still a good amount of fat for flavor but no skin. That is the cut I use when smoking since my closed minded folks don't like the smoked skin too much. But they love how the smoke enhances the meat.

Sorry but that is not how we Puerto Ricans do it. In my 46yrs i never seen anyone peel back the skin. Also we use Sazón, Adobo, Sofrito & garlic not salt, pepper & oregano.

[@ciscos.smokehouse]

First, I am also Puertorican, so you can't speak for "we" collectively. Second, I grew up with adobo and sazon on everything too, but if you learn truly authentic cooking from old school cooks like my grandmother, you would realize authentic Puertorican food dates back to early 1800s and Goya came up with adobo and sazon in 1960s. Third,, at it's core Goya adobo blends salt, garlic, oregano, and black pepper along with preservatives and other additives that are not good for human consumption but perfect to make their blend last longer on the store shelves. But, thanks watching the video and taking the time to comment.

[@stevenpagan335]

Something a wrong here Puerto Rican authenticity of flavors being sofrito to mind Puerto Rican sofrito that is which includes onion garlic those small. pickled peppers red /green cilantro olive oil put in blender Bam paste maranaid poke holes all over the pencil stuff whole garlic cloves in them yo flavor the fats for a day (over might) even roast time depend on weight when near done remaining time crank heat on high to crisper the skin to your liking PS dont forget add salt to sofrito BAM!
