Traditional Carnitas, How To Make

[@BK-tp3sg]

When they are done right they are the greatest thing I have ever had

[@nhrider93]

I eat a fair amount of bacon so i strained and saved the fat for a few months and used thatvto make this. Next level.

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

[@linda14149]

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

[@ChickenHues]

@@EastMesaUrbanHomestead Family is the best. It's actually Stacie, but any spelling works and I often get called Tracy and Stephanie, so it's all good! lol

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Ok thanks Stacie 😎

[@ladyhawk626]

Looks great! Purchased a cazo (copper) in Tijuana Mexico, but don't have the burner to hold the pot and cook. How did you make your equipment? Thanks!

[@Zarcon2008]

So where did you get the copper pot?

[@1049sergio]

yummy must try.

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

They sure are. Thanks for stopping by the channel 😎

[@jimmyo9807]

Will try it! Thank you for sharing 😀

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Jimmy O you will love it!

[@melinasatanica731]

God bless you. I looked all over Google for carnitas cooked in lard but all I can find is recipes without lard cuz it's HEALTHY....i just want REAL MICHUECAN CARNITAS! Thanks my man ❤❤❤

[@AllPurposeMom]

That was so dang cool! I make mine in a crock pot ha ha BUT I do use orange juice & and real coke with cane sugar...so I'm almost there!!

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Hey Jerri I’ve never tried it in a crock pot! But I thought of you yesterday we were at Like AFB ! Those Raptors are so cool! Thanks for stopping by the channel 😎

[@AllPurposeMom]

@@EastMesaUrbanHomestead Have you ever went out there for Luke Days? Its a big air show and they open up the base. A lot of people just park in and around there to watch the show. This past spring the Navy's "Blue Angels" did the show, ahmeezing. My husband's family lives by Luke AFB, so in their yard its like they were diving down and back up just feet from your face!!

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

No we have never been there to that, however I have been to the Mira Mar base in California and have seen the blue angels there several times they are awesome.

[@David-ct1rd]

You should do tripas. Next.

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Things that make you say 🤔 maybe!

[@mongom.5572]

Could an aluminum pot work also? It's hard to find a copper pot🧐

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Yes really any kind of pot will work, coppers properties just make for even heat distribution. I’ve made them on a stove top before as well! Good luck and I hope yours turn out great 😎

[@1Ninjago_fan]

Do you reuse the Oil? Best way to discard Oil? Many thx

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

No typically don’t reuse the oil (lard) some people use it for re fried beans they will strain it and let it turn back into a solid. It will just go into the regular trash unless you have a place that re cycles oil. Thanks for stopping by the channel 😎

[@JohnC-kc5uh]

HELL YEAH that's the way to do it, viva the tradition my brother

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Thanks John for watching 😎

[@bradvenisnik9397]

Maybe not traditional but I sit here thinking fry some potatoes in that leftover oil

[@jackiedesantiago2778]

How high do you have the heat?

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

That’s really great. I love the cooking equipment! I bet that tastes really amazing! Zikes, I would have to use a different oil because too much lard gives me wretched acid reflux! I imagine pork shoulder (but) would work really well too, or maybe even a leaner cut? I think that’s almost similar to a duck confit. Klaus

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Hey Klaus, yeah you could use oil but it would for sure not taste the same! And I and not familiar with duck confit. Hanks as always for stopping by the channel 😎

[@aaron.nmcfarland8748]

Apple cider vinegar is good for acid reflux.

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

Aaron .N McFarland Thank you. I will try it!

[@bigkeg9173]

Mate that looks so good......send me some lol

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Hey friend if could send you some I would, I think this is the best Mexican style of meat!

[@bigkeg9173]

Can't beat pork belly, but I've never seen it cooked like that. Use to have lard sandwiches when I was young. Old lard from cooking roasts......we didn't have butter

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Oh wow I have never used lard that way !

[@bigkeg9173]

All the crunchy bits and fat etc from roasts .......was bloody yummy lol

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Lol it does sound good!

[@SouthernFisherman]

What type of pork was it

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Pork shoulder

[@TheHappyGardener]

Dude super yummy ya baby 👍👍👍😎💚☠

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Yeah it is my favorite Mexican style meat. If it is done right it has a nice crisp outside and just tender as heck on the inside! Thanks for stopping by the channel 😎

[@ManuelLujan-gz3dc]

How much salt

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Man, that's a big pot! The carnitas looked good though.

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Yeah it is solid copper and hand hammered! Thanks for stopping by the channel 😎

[@j.record7151]

Wish I could find a copper pot like yours, and for a decent price! Everything here (where I’m from) is outrageously priced....👎🏼 Our Mexican grocery stores only sell stainless steel disc’s. (So that’s what I have).... How do you regulate your temperature when cooking on your propane burner. Mine is basically a “turkey fryer”, with the Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Concave Comal Discada, instead of the copper pot.

[@sergioalejandrodominguezca5820]

Mmm no lo se rick parece falso! Jaja no no es verdad se ve que quedaron buenas igual que las de mexico !!

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Garcias pot is repuesta.. me quedaron riquisimas.😎

[@anthonygonzalez7313]

Not a Shasta cmonnn😂

[@erniecontreras5922]

Cut off and fry 1st chicharon plus fat n color flavor

[@jonmiller19845]

You're suppose to use Mexican coke! Not Sam's club cola lol

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

jonmiller19845 yeah I know it’s funny that that’s what we used and we were in El Paso ! Thanks for stopping by the channel and watching 😎

[@utubeefffinsux]

what temp is your fat?

[@anthonyz5671]

Awwww man FAIL! You got to use the mexican coke bro. Lol And most people use the pork butt. But still looms good
