I fell in love with carnitas while working with Hispanics in Georgia. I want to buy my own copper pot to cook them in, I have tried other pots but there is just something about the slow cooking in a big copper pot outside with everyone milling around……….there is nothing like it. I have been searching FOREVER to find a pot, but I am not having any luck. I found this post while searching for one actually. I am hoping you can point me in the right direction.

Ohhh! watch out when you add the coke! I let it start to smoke alittle before putting in the coke and when just enough of smoke was visible that I had to look hard to tell if it was smoke, anyways good thing I poured it in slow …’cause I thought it was going to explode! I just put half of what is recomended and they instantly turned brown added a orange also..Just give you people some “Heads Up” and away from the pot as far as you can when pouring it…even if the oil is not boiling don’t be fooled! ITS HOT! cooking it now 01-10-09 12:30 am slooowly. smells good!

T what temp do you keep the lard at to prevent the pork from burning? What do you do if the pork starts to burn while making carnitas?

I bought my caso at a flea-market in Savannah GA, for $400.00. It is an old antique with a round bottom and steel handles that stick out from the side. maybe over 100 years old. In perfect condition. I have not used it yet. Whole fresh pig at the market now. I spent time fatting her up on corn. I hope she taste as good to me as she thought that corn taste to her.
