“They only change we made was cooking it in a cast iron dutch oven in the kitchen at 275 for about 5 hours. We are not campers, and we figured it wouldn't get anything from the charcoal wrapped up like that, so we went with the oven. It turned out wonderful! We” — a cook, 5★
“Chef John’s campfire carnitas recipe is a slow-cooked masterpiece—simple ingredients, detailed steps, and delicious results. While the Jersey mikes menu offers quick bites, this dish shows the joy of cooking with patience and flavor. Must visit: jerseymikemenu” — a cook, 5★
