This is the story of The Good Toaster and the day it made carnitas
An entire dutch oven containing a 8 pound pork shoulder in a toaster oven??? Why yes, The Good Toaster can do it. Yes The Good Toaster is dirty. It is a workhorse. Yes the timer says 14 HOURS.
14 hours later, it emerges, absolutely packed in there, rolled in dried chilies
The meat out to cool away from its cooking liquid
Lard and defatted cooking liquid are used to fry, then sauce the carnitas as a finishing step
Yes... YES
taco time

Last time I made carnitas, I forgot to add extra orange juice to the achiote paste. It definitely needed more liquid toward the end. Ah well, still delicious!

15 ounces (3 cups) stone-ground cornmeal (see note)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons sugar (optional; see note)
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, divided
It's interesting -- I just used 2% and not buttermilk since that's what I had, and I also didn't have a stone-ground cornmeal but just the standard big grocer stuff. I did also use a tablespoon of sugar like the recipe recommended since the mass-market cornmeal is The batter is super, super soupy when it goes into the skillet! Like, I thought for sure I had fucked it up. It cooked up fine though, and the texture is this intense crumble without being dry. But really, it crumbles. You also cannot eat that much of it / it's very satiating?
This is compared to grandma's recipe, which is probably more akin to a johhnycake -
1 3/4 cups flour
1 large tablespoon butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cornmeal
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg (option)
*squints* that's....remarkably different. For one thing, it includes only enough butter to grease the skillet, whereas the other one has, uh, 14 times the amount of butter. This one, however, has 12 times the amount of sugar in it. And a third of the cornmeal. Weird.

I am amazed that this thing is just a box you can set on a surface and plug into a regular outlet, and in theory could sneak into a college dorm. And it'll just braise a whole pork shoulder or bake cookies or get up to 500ºF and cook a pizza. I would have KILLED for this in college.

I also made chili and used half a can of chilis in adobo, and blended them up with a little bit of stock, and used that in lieu of most of the chili powder (i wound up adding some non-too-hot chili powder for color and not much more heat)
The console on that toaster oven looks like the controls to the Enterprise
One of the options says "phase cook" and I don't know what it does but I assume geordi la forge could explain it to me

Like, you guys, I've made crispy fucking wings in that thing that were incredible. I've never had oven cooked wings I would eat instead of fried before, but it can do it.

I gotta figure out how to make wings in the oven soon. Having a buddy over and we're going to binge Lower Decks and do a Hot Ones challenge, cause why not?

I make kind of an offbeat carnitas that I adapted from Robert Rodriguez of all people
4 pounds pork shoulder
4 tsp light chili powder
4 tsp dark chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinammon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cayenne
2 tsp salt
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup orange juice
two lemons or 3 limes, juiced
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Pork gets cubed, 2 inch chunks-ish, and then all the spices and the liquid go into a gallon sized ziplock or two, and then the pork goes into the marinade. The next day or however long I have (it doesn't matter much tbh) I throw it in the oven in a 9x13 pan wrapped tight with aluminum foil, and I do it at 275 for 3 hours, 325 for an hour, 450 for 1/2 an hour, and then I pop the aluminum, shred it, and then broiler it for maybe 5-10 minutes.
I'm not frying them in lard afterward but the broil in the fatted braising liquid after cooks them right up

I made pork shoulder carnitas in my instant pot a few months back. Among the herbs and spices I added a can of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce. It was soooo good.
