Nobody ever knows what to do with the 'L'! In my family, we don't pronounce the L, and the che is just like check so it's pronounced "Che - bowski". Anyway, I sincerely appreciate the shoutout Kenji. As I've said before, you are a big inspiration to how I approach and think about cooking, especially in applying it for home cooks. I made a similar carnitas video using Diana Kennedy's method earlier this year discussing some of the benefits. I'll have to hold you to that phone call so we can chat sometime!

Kenji, my man, super close to what I do with Carnitas, but if you'll allow me one small suggestion: Once you strain out the braising liquid, put it on high heat until it reduces to a thick syrup. Toss the meat in the reduced meat-syrup before going in the broiler. This creates an incredible, pure meaty-oniony caramelization layer on the meat and literally turns the carnitas up to 11.

I've always made the carnitas similiarly in a dutch oven. Let them cool. Put them in the fridge. Next day drain the water- the rendered fat will float to the top and solidify like a big disc. separate the meat and other ingredients. Heat up just the fat to 375f. Then in the same dutch oven deep fry the hunks of meat in it's own rendered fat. 2 day process but makes tender pieces with super crispy outsides. Thanks Kenji I always learn new tricks and techniques from your videos

Gonna try your method with Kenji's! I think Kenji sometimes considers the home cook in his approach (and he is busy too but I know, for example, recipes on Serious Eats and other food entities have rules/guidelines to make cooking easier for home cooks) - most home cooks would not want to do two days. But as Flavor Chasers out here we all know we will spends weeks to get the perfect bite.

Do you let the carnitas in the dutch oven overnight or do you put them in a different container? Are they not going to make collecting the fat the next day harder if you let them in? On the other hand they will lose a ton of flavor so I guess it's worth it. Anyway, I'm 100% trying this it sounds amazing.

What's also really good is to put it on a hot skillet. You can do it dry (the meat is fatty enough), or you can pour some of the liquid in for extra flavor. You can keep it loose, which makes a lot of brown bits, or you can make a rough patty of sorts and flip it. Put it on a taco, eat it plain, put it on top of instant ramen, make a sandwich, etc. Lots of possibilities!

One of the amazing things about Kenji and what makes him an original character is his spontaneous down to earth qualities that he doesn’t even realize that he is one of the top if not the top cooking content creator. For me when it comes to cooking there is pre and post the food lab era. Cooking used to be seen as that snotty out of reach purely technical profession that you must have a European accent and a shitty attitude to master. But Kenji made me and many many more people fell in love with it (one of them is def Ethan BTW who is an absolutely magnificent home cooking content creator) anyway I think what I meant to say is Thank you Kenji, I know you don’t get it and you probably never will because of how humble you are but you are for sure on of our generation’s heroes when it comes to cooking.

Ok so I’ve made this recipe a few times and for the most part it’s EXCELLENT. One thing I do. Little different is I want some extra crisp on the pork. To do this, I drain the braising liquid and chill it overnight. Then I skim off the fat and use that to sauté the shredded pork in. So I put the shredded pork in a pan with some of the braising liquid and heat until hot and liquid is evaporated. Then I add the rendered fat and sauté till crisp. Trust me. This will make it utterly perfect

My mom's carnitas were very simple. The pork in chunks, usually with bone on, onion, garlic and salt. She'd put it all in a broad pot and boil them with water, then leave them to crisp up after the water had boiled off in the fat that had rendered from the meat during boiling, not long. I dunno if she added any oil, but we never used lard or copper kettles in our house. They were soft and tender with some texture to them.

One of the local places uses carnitas in their pork chile verde and I'd recommend using leftover carnitas as a stand-in for pork in your pork chile verde recipe. I also like adding the carnitas in with some sauteed onion and green pepper (any relatively thick-walled pepper works) and squeezing in some lime juice to finish things off. The only thing certain is I like to do two distinctly different dishes with about one 4 pound shoulder, and carnitas is flexible enough to allow that to happen without getting too repetitive.

Chef John has a carnitas recipe that is virtually identical to this one and I've been using it for years. The only thing I change is i use a pressure cooker to save time. I can have this from prep to the table in about an hour and a half. Just slice the meat and add ingredients, put in pressure cooker from 45 min to an hour and 10 minutes depending on size of chunks. Release pressure, transfer to oven safe pan, i use my cast iron skillet, and place under broiler in 5 min intervals basting with rendered fat in-between. My family enjoys this pulled pork style so I only do 1-2 times under broiler. Always great.

Hey man just wanted to say I followed the technique in this video and it was some of the best food I've cooked for myself, I was *extremely* happy with how well it turned out. Both the pork and the salsa were absolutely fantastic. I love the little tidbits of cooking science like like how cooking with oil is different than braising with water. Out of curiosity, would this method work for a Birria type of meat out of curiosity? By adding different peppers and flavors? Maybe marinading beforehand for a day or two?

No, birria is quite different as it’s a braise in broth. I have a recipe for barbacoa on serious eats though. Use that recipe and use lamb or goat instead for birria.

Not sure if it has been pointed out, but your carnitas show "maciza". Carnitas are as varied as the pork itself and can use ALL the parts of the swine, including organs. The purpose, beyond the varied taste, is the texture experience (we use ear, snout, and womb, for example). Same method for it, but it becomes TRULY "no waste" that way. :)

Trick for electric dry herb buzz grinder. Add 2T of dry rice, and buzz. Once works for me, have done twice when coffee was buzzed. Use that rice flour to thicken this and that where the flavor is complementary in small amounts (almost anything).

Amazing recipe. I rarely wet brine but I think I’m going to try it on this one for the next time. The confit approach seems a great way to keep that brine in the meat.

I made Joshua Weisman's pho awhile back using quite a bit of pork ribs and chuck roast. The pho was great, but to change things up I fried some of the meat up in lard a la carnitas. Although very lightly simmered instead of fried or whatever, it turned out excellent. The next day I fried the same pho meat up a la a rendang. Got the carnitas, rendang, and pho at the same time. Nothing planned, just kind of flowed. Used the grill instead of the oven to roast the bones/meat/aromatics. Recommended meal prep option.
