  1. Please, please don't add cheese to that taco, don't ruin it.
    Also, if you have a slow cooker use it, you don't have to cook it in a plastic bag, all you need to do is cover the bottom and sides of the pot with banana leafs (you don't need to tap them to bring the flavor out, that was weird), put in the meat and cover with more banana leafs, leave it for 8 hrs, and you are done!!
    For best results, leave the meat marinate with the paste (which in real life is a sauce) overnight before cooking.
    And again, don't add cheese to this taco, EVER!

  2. FAIL!
    I normally am a big fan of your recipes, but we made this one to-the-letter, including the Seville Oranges, and the meat was surprisingly unflavourful.
    We talked about it, while eating, and decided it needed more acid, more heat, even more salt, which is unusual for us. (The flavour of the accompanying vegetables were fine. I liked the picked onions. My daughter made a tasty guac to accompany…)
    On the plus side, we had extra Seville Oranges, so I made a cocktail called "Orange Blossom Cocktail", which we loved.

  3. At the grill: You can use half of an onion in lieu of the oil soaked paper towels.

    It cleans, and seasons the bars. An onion near its expiration date is best because you want to make sure the onion half is thrown away after use.

  4. Cochinita pibil is one of my favorite dishes. This recipe looks delicious. For the evaporation issue, you should try cutting a circle out of the lid the same diameter as the sous vide cooker. If you use this container for other purposes, you can just buy a spare lid. It's a little difficult because the lid plastic is quite durable, but it's better than using that much plastic wrap.
