"Are navel oranges navel like the belly button or naval like the Village People?" this is such a perfect encapsulation of Kenji. Brilliant, informative, delicious, but always above all else fun. Not to mention engaging and always make me feel like I'm capable of doing it myself (even though I'll never be half as good as he is).

I swear I owe like 90% of my culinary prowess to Kenji, and half of that is due to his PoV videos. I just made a three minute taco with vacuum packed frozen (thawed) carnitas from a local Mexican restaurant, half a diced avocado, 1/4 of a diced red onion, and a small handful of grated gruyere placed on top of the carnitas as soon as I flipped them in the skillet, below the tortillas. I added a few drops of habanero salsa and oh. my. GOD. My stomach is full, and so is my heart.

I actually did this recipe and scalled it up and put everything in a dutch oven. Used the same cooking time and temp and the middle was still raw even if my baking dish made it "snug". I believe that my issue was because it wasn't a flat dish. I think that as long as you don't pile it up, you should be good.
@chadMbro

You cooked it for 3 1/2 to 4 hours and it was still raw? You might want to check to make sure your oven is actually getting to the temp you have it set to because that seems crazy to me. That should not only be enough time to cook the meat but it should be enough time to convert connective tissue to gelatin making it soft.

As a mexican I aprove: I'd love to try the cranberry sauce on carnitas taco: I imagine the complementay flavors must be a hit! In my family in Guadalajara is a tradition to eat turkey on christmas or new year; just as our cousine have influenced the USA, we in Mexico also eat turkey and cranberry sauce (or more commonly with mushroom gravy and side dishes: mashed potatoes, christmas afruit salad, steamed vegetables, etc.). Some familys on the northen states do celebrate thanksgiving day, but in the rest of the country is more common to have turkey on christmas night, among many traditional mexican dishes options: codfish, romeritos, lomo relleno (stuffed pork loin), chicken, pierna mechada (roast pork leg), tamales, pozole, etc. We try to cook something special and different to the everyday dishes. In the recalentado I will buy some traditional carnitas to eat with my cranberry sauce leftovers: thanks Kenji! God bless you all and have a great Christmas!

Can anyone who knows about confit/carnitas explain why the crisping isn't done during the first step? e.g. finish the slow cook in the oven, get the aromatics out, and then crisp up everything on the stove?
