I'm goin home for the weekend and my mom wants me to make Carnitas..we have a cazo, one of those large copper pot things so we're cool on that.

anybody got any tips / recipes? not havin a lot of luck finding recipes on the internet that use the cazo..

anything would be appreciated.

that's baking it in an oven

i found a good one but accidentally clicked out of it..it was really simple too.
i think it was just the manteca and a 3-4 other ingredients
the process is the most important thing i believe

^^^ ah I see..so you got one?
that's good and yes I agree w/you

not yet, i'm still gonna keep on looking and if i can't find a good one i'll use one of the less traditional methods to make it, or just make al pastor

maybe i should just get a mexican cook book..or see if my dad has one with a carnitas recipe layin around

Someone in my family has carnitas every week; there are lots of different ways to do it. I'm sure it will turn out awesome.
