La Caja Asadora China Roasting Box with Free Marinating Syringe

There is plenty of pork in it. The first pig was 20 pounds, and everything went well. Those who weigh 35 pounds will be next. Despite not knowing anything about cooking, I am looking forward to this adventure. Despite the rashness of the expenditure and the unwiseness of the effort, my wife allows it as with only 2 in our family, this is quite a bit of pork to prepare.

The one I had 12 years ago fell apart. If you keep them out of the rain, they will last a couple of decades. There are some stages where you need two people to help rotate the pig. They are really easy to do, but do require two people at a time. Now it's time to clean up. After that, it was stored in the garage The handles need to be removed.

Very easy to use, directions are pretty spot on for cooking a whole pig and cleaning isn't too difficult either. For the best results, let it sit overnight, and line the inside with foil to keep it from getting messy. After it has been washed and dried, let it air It's easy to put together, but the quality is average and I hope it continues to hold up after multiple uses.

The pig skin didn't crisp up like I had seen on other Vedios, although that may have been because I put vegetable oil on the pig skin before cooking to make it In sum, lesson learned, I will try to dry the skin before cooking it next time and then flip it over to see what happens when it cooks. Overall, I am very happy with the final results.

It's a huge job and takes a long time to bury pigs for roasting, something I have done before. As a result, I thought I'd have an easier life and reduce the amount of time I spend cooking considerably. *Unfortunately, I have to give it There are major inaccuracies in the cook time given in the instructions. This worked perfectly with a 45lb pig and followed the instructions on the bag Each time, we actually added a bit more charcoal to make sure it was very hot. The cake took nearly 11 hours to get all the way to 180F after all was said and done. Unless there is some clever trick, I don't see how people prepare these things in 4 hours. This was very disappointing since everyone was ready to eat the pork, so it wasn't ready until later on in the evening after everyone had On this item, I would not trust the instructions at all. It is highly suggested that you add much more charcoal and account for at least twice as much cooking time as As we have already pointed out, this pig turned out really well. In addition to providing great pig roast, this box might make your life a little easier by preventing you from having to dig a hole. Keep in mind that cooking takes a great deal more time. * Keep spare charcoal in your supply. * * * We trusted the instructions for the product and listened to other reviews and got burned beyond belief. As a result, the party we had was ruined and our guests were always asking when the pig would be done and why it was taking so long to finish. There was no answer to their questions and we were very uncomfortable, embarrassed, and disappointed. A pig can't really be cooked in a faster way, then. I will start preparing it much earlier or cook it the day before the party next time. There is also an option for raising the pig up closer to the coals by placing something under the drip tray. It was mentioned in another review and I can see that as one.

It is a very good product! Although I have not yet cooked with it, I am confident that it works. You get a lot more extras with it, besides the box, than you would get to build one yourself for what I paid. I cannot imagine that I could have built one myself for what I paid. Does everything you must prepare a roast pig or whatever you want to eat come with it? It didn't go without incident, however, because I had to fix a few issues. A bolt and nut is the first hardware piece that needs to be installed. In the end, you get wingnuts instead of nylon self-locking nuts If you plan on disassembling your roaster and storing it, those wing nuts provide a useful locking mechanism. As long as it is going to be out for a long time, I prefer using myself. We don't have a lock nut. I have a bunch of wingnuts on hand. I just thought it might be worth mentioning. A second problem is that I painted the exterior with BBQ paint which is heat resistant. I had to paint the wood to protect it from the elements since it wasn't treated. My purchase of the cover came after it had I loved the way it turned out, and it was Assembling the unit was simple, the instructions were excellent, but I did not find them necessary in my case, but they were still excellent. A temperature gauge, such as that seen on many BBQ grills, is one thing that I wish they added in to the design. By having a temperature gauge, the lid will no longer need to be lifted, allowing the interior heat to be directed in the right direction In addition, I plan to include on the side rails the bbq felt seal that is found on the majority of By adding a seal, you will also be able to prevent condensation from forming on the inside of the building. There are no problems if this thing does fall apart, and it will eventually, because we can replace the old planed wood with thicker wood of better quality and reuse the attached aluminum panels we already have. I would also be able to add to it other modifications. I've been asked if there is a way to attach a rotisserie to the top of the coals. It is true. Adding a rotisserie to the design would not be as hard as it seems. The pig and the fly buzzing around it are just part of what some people love to cook. You may want to check out the Emeril (the Chef) video he did on it a long time ago. He was also very impressed with it. Exactly how I learned about it is how I found out. Pictures will be added later once I have the seals and such completed. Consequently, the seals were added to the box, and I added a temperature gage in the center. I am glad I added both, it helps a lot! To see what it would do and to look for any defects, I cooked a pork belly and a pork shoulder on it. However, I did not use a lot of charcoal since I only made two items out of two bags. In Wikipedia, the highest temp inside the box was 392 degrees F, or 200 degrees C (Toxic fumes from broiling galvanized metal begin around 392 degrees F or 200 degrees C). It was a little hot, so I let the pork items sit for four hours before taking them out. I was very happy when my Filipino wife saw the news! The Filipinos are known for their love of lechon. Some of my mistakes, like the coal tray needing to sit flat on the lid, were my own fault. didn't think the heat would transfer into the box, which is why the box didn't get hot. Having the coals fall onto the lid wasn't fun in the least. All in all, this was a great purchase! Thanks for taking the time to read this review. A message from Jeff in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Just one 16lb bag of charcoal at a time to start and half a bag every hour made it easy to use. Make sure the drippings go into the drip tray, if you don't you will have to clean the box a lot easier, I've discovered Thanksgiving will be a lot of fun if we roast some turkeys. In the event that you are going to purchase this product, I would HIGHLY recommend ordering it at least one month before you need Though I received my within a few days, I was a bit worried.
