Tips for Making Homemade PORCHETTA | How to Make Perfect Porchetta | Dreo ChefMaker

If porchetta is in the top five sandwiches in the world, what would the other four be? 🤔

[@aris1956]

Per me al primo posto un bel panino fresco e croccante (anche un pezzo di focaccia fresco) con la mortadella !! 😉

[@rumbleinthekitchen_Amy]

Cubano, Ruben/Pastrami, grilled cheese & BLT would be in mine. But it's hard to pick only 5.😂

[@ragazzotexano]

BBQ Pork banh mi are spectacular. There’s a huge Vietnamese community in Houston, and banh mi places are everywhere. Best of all, you can pick up a banh mi for less than 4 bucks at a lot of places. Why would you ever go to McDonald’s?

[@gk891]

Hard to narrow it down! I'm partial to BBQ pork banh mi, carnitas cemitas, toast skagen, and American-style pulled pork sandwiches. There's also the Croque Monsieur.

[@killianmmmoore]

Could you use the 4 cheese dishes rule to make a 4 cheese grilled cheese? Maybe in sourdough roll or ciabatta?

here in colombia in my city there was only 1 place that sold porchetta, but they only sold it to an italian school so I had to pretend I was a teacher from that school to buy a couple of times, and it was delicious!

[@sjesposito3614]

Years ago I was introduced to porchetta by a friend whose Italian dad immigrated to work on the iron ore range in Minnesota. Her Finnish mother learned how to prepare his favorite dish and she taught it to my friend.

[@ps5801]

Can we all give Harper a shout out for his editing? He adds funny little touches like zooming in the pork belly tipping over while Eva talks about the importance of having crispy skin on porchetta. He could have edited that out, but both Eva and Harper are able to laugh at the little foibles of making these videos. In a world of puffed up personalities, it's nice to know there are still people who admit they aren't perfect and who can laugh at themselves.

[@zenarkia]

I've been praising his editing all along! It's funny and really high quality.

[@f_viamonte]

This is my favorite channel, period. The recipes are great and still approachable. Eva and Harper are very charismatic. Love it.

[@guillerminastover7099]

Harper, when I first visited Italy in 1999, my husband took me to a little shop that sold cured meats-prosciutto, salami, etcetera. I had my VERY FIRST panini there. And it was marvelously delicious, crusty bread with paper thin slices of prosciutto and some type of cheese. No condiments, no tomatoes, no mayo; just the meat and the bread-it was the best sandwich I ever had! Years later I heard of panini presses here in the US. There were no panini presses in Italy!

[@alessandropalazzani]

Proprio oggi mi sono mangiato la porchetta di Ariccia! Una delizia 🤤

[@billboth6572]

Harper, I am sure I am not alone in this, I would love to see your dad in another one of your videos.

[@PastaGrammar]

[@vjf8733]

About 12+ years ago, I used to make a porchetta with a picnic shoulder, boned and butterflied. it was delicious (garlic, sage, rosemary. oil, salt, pepper flakes). cooked on a bed of vegetables 4+ hours. Yes it lasted a while.. I think I'll try yours.

[@cubanmama4564]

I am so happy you made a small porchetta in the Dreo Air Fryer, as I own one. This is my third air fryer and the best so far. What's important here is that there are so many people who own air fryers and here's a classic and delicious recipe that can be made regardless of air fryer. My daughter is going to try this recipe in her probe-less air fryer. She's using an instant read thermometer to monitor temperature. Making this in the regular oven is time consuming but doable. For those who bemoan the fact that you made a video of making porchetta in an air fryer instead of an oven, I recommend you repeat the video making the porchetta in a regular oven so those folks can see how time consuming it is to monitor a porchetta in a home oven as I well know. What is important about using the air fryer is that a home oven temperature fluctuates and is not always on target regardless of make. So the porchetta has a greater chance of overcooking and drying out. Even the most expensive brands can be off. That's why thermometers/probes are a must.

[@bakerzermatt]

I've had it a few times in Italy, but it's been hit and miss for me. I've had AMAZING porchetta in Lucca, Florence, and near lake Trasimene, and mediocre porchetta from the supermarket and in northern Italy (near Domodossola). Like most Italian food, it's regional.

[@AussieAngeS]

Now that porchetta looks sensational 😍😍 that crunch was fabulous when Eva cut into it.

[@sooz9433]

I have made porchetta but it's been years..😂 I know exactly how delicious it is! Thank you Eva and Harper.. my Sunday mornings are such fun with you two! ✨️♥️

[@michelebailey7320]

I got in on the Chef Maker kickstarter and received mine in July. I LOVE my Chef Maker! I was like Eva in the beginning. I didn’t know how it would do what it promises, but I am glad I took the chance. And Eva is right about getting rid of your microwave. This takes the place of many appliances (air fryer, sou vide, dehydrator, toaster, microwave), but only uses the space of an air fryer. I love how meat turns out in chef mode. I set it and my phone notifies me when it’s done. Perfect and juicy every time. I use it every day.

19:05 Wait... I didn't know that Harper was Max's son! Max was one of the best contestants on MasterChef Italia, a proper gentleman with an authentic appreciation for our culture and traditions. I remember he made an amazing 'gumbo' and Massari even complimented his dessert... profusely! 😂♥ Such a lovely thing to see! That porchetta looks **Homer Drooling**

[@barbaramiller349]

You make me want to try this. I go to local Mexican stores and they fry the Chicharrón fresh and it’s so good. It is not cooked like a Porchetta but it is also pork belly with skin. I’m sure cooked this way must be amazing. The new “air fryer” oven looks amazing! For some reason I did not get my normal email from pasta grammar today. But, I always watch you with Sunday Morning breakfast. Thanks again for a fun video. ❤️

[@eyechartny]

My cousin will make porchetta once in a while, and while it's pretty good I was in full Homer Simpson drool mode watching this. Bravo!

[@rudolfschenker]

This is pretty revolutionary - you've shown Porchetta doesn't have to always be prepared on a party scale...Not only does it scale down easily to weeknight dinner, but it's the perfect dish to be cooked in everyone's favorite modern kitchen innovation - the air fryer. I love how you guys keep coming up with one great episode after another, and I was blown away when Harper mentioned the old porchetta episode with his dad because I remember that was one of the first PG episodes I ever found. You guys have come so far, and I hope the journey just keeps going, long live Harper and Eva, cent'anni! ❤🍷

[@alexstamateris5977]

I could listen to Eva talk all day long. Today for the first time ever I bought a pork belly. I usually only cook bone in center cut, or boneless pork loin. Love your channel! 👍😎

[@slreythuge8113]

I love the labor of love that Eva put in seasons and marinating The pork belly. She gives me one of my childhood memories is the kitchen when my mom made me sit and rub the seasoning into the meats and explained to me that you must massage the seasoning as deep as you can into the meat so that you can taste the flavor. I also learned that brining is not for all meats or techniques to penetrate the seasoning and flavor

[@robinthce]

[@stevieg4201]

One of my favorite foods, as we get a little older, sometimes we have to watch what and how we eat, so as an old guy, I’ve found that I can make a Porchetta from a pork loin roast, but you have to get it with the fat cap and you need the correct end cut, you can butterfly the loin and spice it, then roll it up and put a generous piece of pork skin over the entire Porchetta, tie it off and slow roast till you have an internal temp of 137*, take it out and let it rest for 1/2 hour, then put it in a 500* oven till you reach 150* internal, take it out and let it rest for an hour, it will continue to cook to about 157* while it’s resting, then enjoy. I promise, it will be fantastic, nothing beats a pork belly porchetta, nothing can take it’s place, but if you want to be a little bit health conscious, try it my way, you won’t be sorry. Dio benedica tutti 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

[@gk891]

Interesting. I would never think to make porchetta with pork loin roast. I have thought about making it with a pork shoulder picnic roast though.

[@stevieg4201]

@@gk891 It really comes out good, but like I said there’s no substitute for pork belly, but when we get older and want to be careful, I’ve been doing it this way, if you try this, temperature is everything, we don’t want it to be dry, so it’s a process, but it’s acceptable

[@gk891]

What do you use to season porchetta? One Italian person I know uses garlic, rosemary, sage, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and fennel seeds. Another Italian person I know who is from a completely different part of the country uses a combination of garlic and dill. It's amazing how a dish can change depending on what part of the country you're in.

[@nikopantalloni7916]

@@gk891 salt, black pepper, Red wine, garlic (this Is the base) and if you want you can use also wild fennel and other spices, my grandmother used some grounded cinnamon too (be careful not to put too much, It can be really overwhelming).

[@christopherness81]

Doesn't surprise me one bit that the seasoning is regional. Northern Ontario, Canada in the Sudbury area is definitely from the area that uses dill. It is delicious.

I don't cook, so when I want a porchetta fix, I head to Vignola Gourmet in Rockville Maryland for their porchetta sub. They add sauteed rapini to complement the pork. I'm cutting down on carbs and have pretty much eliminated bread from my diet, but this is one exception I allow myself.

I used to cook lamb belly the same way, but I used to put breadcrumbs in the filling too to catch the flavour from the fat. Then I changed to crisps/potato chips crushed up in the filling. Pick any flavour that suits (bacon flavour always worked well). The joy of lamb belly is that it costs buttons from your butcher. Went out of fashion years ago, so you may have to order it. Well worth it.

[@dirtyketchup]

a lot of helpful tips in here. One I would add is that it would help more to chop up the flavoring ingredients (alliums, herbs, spices) and make a paste with the oil. Then slash cuts into the flash of the belly and massage the paste deep into the meat. By only placing it on the inside before rolling it, you really aren't going to get any of that flavor throughout most of that dense meat, and only the very center will have flavor. Also, that is why your garlic and herbs kept squeezing out when you rolled it; if you had cut slashes, it would've held onto it better. Lastly, I don't believe you are really getting much flavor by using fennel fronds in there. I think you are supposed to use fennel POLLEN in the seasoning, which is much more fragrant and traditional.
