Looks delicious. I thought the part about adding the salted water to the simmering pot of lard/pork was really interesting. I've kind of learned to keep water away from hot grease/oil but I guess when the temp is low enough like you had it going that it could work together. I guess the idea is that helps keep moisture in the meat? One way or another it all looks great. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thanks for your kind words! Yes, adding water to hot lard is unusual, but it helps keep the meat moist. You're right to be cautious with hot grease. This technique works well for carnitas, and that's a great question - it left me intrigued too, wondering about the chemistry behind it.
Yea Travis I like using small bits of oil to extract the flavor of spices and mix it in you know. But this is like stewing or braising with a twist! Instead of stewing in a water to make broth, you just boil/fry with the oil. And you know all the flavor in those aromatics is getting extracted. Really cool technique
I love your show. You are the best authentic Mexican chef on you tube. This is the best carnitas demonstration I have seen. I'm so over all these people that use milk and coke. Yours is the one I have been looking for. Your husband is one blessed man to have you. Thank you. I grew up learning my Sicilian grandmother skills. Now I'm learning the Mexican ways.
I thought the seasoning was interesting the only carnitas I have had is cooked beer, tequila, oranges and garlic 🤷♀️ looks good but when I want carnitas I want my carnitas 😂❤ just curious
I just got back from a 6 week trip to Puerto Vallarta. I miss the weather. I miss the tacos. And I most definitely miss the carnitas! It goes good on everything!
Thank you for bringing me back to Michoacán. I am hungry as always after watching your videos. FYI, my wife’s sister is the queen of carnitas. Best wishes to you all.
So I just got done making these. This was sooo good. The flavor from the lard and spices, in combination with some lime and cilantro was something else. Honestly I want to cook these for my family next time we have a get together.
Great episode! I live in Michoacán myself, so I am very familiar with the local style of carnitas - though I have never made them myself. You inspire me to go purchase a big cazo and cook some up. You gave the proper temperature for the oil during the browning stage. Do you happen to know what temp we should shoot for during the simmering stage? I also really enjoyed the episodes you did a while back going to visit your family rancho.
Last time I tried to make carnitas in the crockpot and just added a bag of chicharrones to the pork. It wasn't the best carnitas I have had. But it was passable. Yours looks so much better than mine could ever be.
That looks amazing!!! I have always wondered why I see pork skin in the supermarket!! I’m definitely going to try this. It reminds me of the delicious foods they serve at my church’s international festivals.
Thank you for this recipe. Everyone pours coke, or orange juice or milk in them so I wouldn’t try to make them. I will try and make these for my sons and I. Thanks again. Puerto Rican here that loves carnitas. ☺️
Lady I don't know you , but I love you sooo much after seeing this video!! The dish looks delicious!!!!!! Love from Florida and God bless. (subscribed as well)
I made carnitas in a 9-13” baking dish, then crisped them in the broiler. It actually worked pretty good. No doubt what you presented is a sensational method. Question I have is what do you do with the lard afterwards..?
Where can I find the copper cookware you are using… I went to California with my husband and his aunt and uncle has one too but it was my husband abuela’s I really would love one .. and p.s. I’m the talk of his side of the family because of you … lol YOU ARE AMAZING AND I SO APPRECIATE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
I went to Santa Clara de cobre and bought a beautiful copper Skillet but I didn't know it had to be lined to actually be useful. So now that expensive Skillet just sits on my stove top, but it looks beautiful. I got many other copper items as well.
Another excellent informative video making me hungry! Thank you!! One question, where did you get that cute onion cilantro bowl? I checked your online shop, but didn't see it. I know I can probably find it online, but if you link it on your website, I'd love to buy it there to support your channel.
I've never had carnitas with the skin. I need to try that. I'll have to find a butcher that would sell the skin to me. I like your choice of cuts of meat. I've also never had carnitas made with rib meat. I would love to see you make papusas. I tried some at a restaurant where the owner was from Ecuador, and they were delicious. I would love to learn how to make them.
I love the pork skin, personally the best part. I hope you can give this recipe a try. And we will see about the pupusas. I will try to learn! thankfully my husband is Salvadorian.
estoy en México en este momento con mi familia y nos hemos asegurado de comer carnitas varias veces. Es muy difícil encontrar un lugar en los ee uu que las haga bien.
What a shame that you used the processed lard and didn't go to your butcher for their lard. The difference in taste is noticeable from the white lard to the medium brown one. Then you don't need any bouquet gardi or anything! I add the "buche" or pork stomach for the best flavor of all. You don't need a copper pot at all, I've made them in my Dutch Oven or in the Cast Iron Pot to fantastic results too. Save the lard to use in frijoles refritos and any other fried delicacy. I keep it in the fridge and on-hand.
I went on Instagram and gave you five stars. I was vote number two if there’s another area to vote on, please let me know. You deserve all the five stars in the world.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I live in Mazatlán and have tortas ahogadas de carnitas four times a week (yes, I know they're a Jalisco thing - my place imports the bread from Guadalajara)! Cueritos though - you can keep them! They remind me of pencil erasers! Thanks for the video!

Call your wife’s sister and get the carnitas already 😂
Glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for the kind wishes! ☺️

Hi there! This was a gift from my mother. She brought it from Mexico. But, I’m sure you could look online or visit a local Mexican store.
I’m soooooo hungry now
Time to cook. 😋
Damn!! I’m so hungry now , haven’t had carnitas in months 😞
I've never had carnitas with the skin. I need to try that. I'll have to find a butcher that would sell the skin to me. I like your choice of cuts of meat. I've also never had carnitas made with rib meat.

Nicely done.
Thank you!
That’s the best looking carnitas I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂😊
It is very obvious this is good stuff ! Pork Fat Rules ! (as my 1990's chef Emeril says).
What should I do with the left over lard water mixture?
What do you do with the leftover cooking liquid/lard?
Mmmm... ❤
Que rico!
Delicioso! 🙃
Gracias todo rico tienes buen sason😋
Are your neighbors peeking over the fence hop for an invite 😂that’s what I would do
They actually did! 😂 Nelson kept mentioning he felt like the had no privacy. 😂

Always so beautiful
I don't know what part of Michoacan you went too...but they don't put anything but salt and water...
Quiroga Michoacan esta en el video si pones atención.
Could it be substituted with beef or lamb? Because my digestive system and pork don’t exactly agree with each other.
I’m not sure if it would work with this recipe, so sorry to hear that.
Anyone knows where I can get this cooper pot cheaper
Crack the ribs for maximum flavor
Pupusas de carnitas?!?!?! 😳

You don’t like cueritos? 😂 I understand ✌️
Worse carnitas recipe ever!!!! Missing so much!
What is missing? Carnitas are normally pretty simple. There’s not supposed to be a lot here.
You should make a video and upload it then.
