Pequod Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 Might actually give this one a go. http://www.seriouseats.com/2017/01/how-to-make-sous-vide-carnitas.html
Paul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Interesting! Love carnitas! Let us know what you think.
tony b Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Oh, Hey-yall Yeah! Love me some carnitas. Definitely trying this one, along with his Pibil version in the banana leaves. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/05/cochinita-pibil-yucatan-barbecue-mexican-smoked-pork-recipe.html 1
MacKenzie Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 I never saw one let alone eat it but it sure looks like I've been missing something.:)

I love all things banana leaves. IMO they're mobetta for tamals (taste and ease of making) ... very versatile. 1
tony b Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 I'm thinking that you could still wrap it in the banana leaves, but cook it Sous Vide - best of both worlds, perhaps!?
Pequod Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Posted January 14, 2017 And we're off! These pics feel so lame after seeing that 42. 2

Pequod Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Posted January 14, 2017 After 18 hours, dump the sous vide bag in a bowl, extract the pork and shred. Now holding it in the fridge until dinner, at which point we char it up. 1
Pequod Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Posted January 14, 2017 Last steps. Make some tortillas: Char the pork (broiler...next time will be on KK when not freezing rain outside). Then assemble with diced white onion, charred salsa verde (homemade), cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Outstanding! I've braised carnitas in the past, and never achieved the depth of flavor that I did with sous vide. 4

Paul Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 I have a b-day coming up towards the end of the month. Might have to order one of these Anova SV tools. 1
tony b Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 It's the best for the price point - IMHO. There are some others out there that are a bit cheaper. I just ordered this one for my nephew's birthday. Got good reviews on Amazon. Fingers crossed. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6AZ8CL Had I been on top of my game, I'd have remembered and gotten him the Anova when it was on sale for $99 over the holidays - DUH! 1
