You Are A Food Addict 🤫
Old Josh is best Josh.
What temperature should I set the oven to
LIFESAVER
Not sure how this popped up on my feed but damnit you've came a long way.
Did i miss oven temp?
Damn he doesnt say how hot to put the oven, i assume normal braising so like 310f to 350f?
What temp is the oven?????
I just guessed on the oven temp at 300 F. Hope it works!
What temperature is your oven at?

Omg I added peppers and onions to mine and used beef broth for water. Sooo goooood. Thx dude!!
What’s the oven temperature Josh…
Baby faced Josh!
My favorite way to make carnitas is to use a tiny bit of cola, garlic, onion, jalapeno, cumin, chilli powder, lime and water, and one orange juiced and use the zest with a little water until meats covered. Cook that in the crockpot. Next day I will add more of any of the same ingredients until I have my desired taste. Then when it's time to eat I'll take the meat and brown it in bacon fat on a cast iron pan. Add all the best toppings and boom 💥 I'm definitely going to try your recipe. Let me know if you try mine
Why does the bottom of your Dutch oven look like bacteria is growing on it?!?!
Thanks Heath Ledger
I miss the days of "You can use store bought, that's totally fine" 😭
Am I crazy or did Josh not add any salt to his tortillas?
I like him!
Hard to tolerate this guy
Out of curiosity how would you adapt this recipe to chicken or beef? How much would you have to change to get it right?
how much temp in the oven?
OMGG This is a great, easy and tasty recipe! To make it even faster. I put everything in the instapot on the stew option. Once is done I put it on the airfryer at 400'C for 7 min! Done!
Simply wonderful
I forget how much he has changed wow, he was adorable still attractive now obviously but inna different way
This is in the oven NOW and it smells amazing. I have just under 7 lb of meat, it had a bone so subtract that. But it smells like someone knows what they're doing in that kitchen today.
"I make my own corn tortillas, you are more than welcome to use store bought, that's totally fine". ….. What a pretentious statement!
Thanks YouTube for the "Do Not Recommend This Channel" option.
Just starting to describe cinnamon and… what, that is not carnitas… Really, maybe a tex mex version, but I have eaten carnitas all over mexico, and that is not the way anywhere lol, this one looks to be a big fail(Gonna see it through to the end)…. The way a cousin does them(and they are de li cious, are made in lard, they are salted and peppered, marinaded in milk with "hierbas finas" and then thrown into the copper "cazo" and with some 6-10 oranges, halved, depending on the size of the pork(and it is practically all the pork that is used in real carnitas) and then some black liquid he refuses to tell me what is it, I am guessing something akin to blackstrap molasses, and just cook until tender
This recipe is a little different from the original, but still looks great. I am even encouraged to try this out. You only missed the sauce, it could be green (green tomatoes, green chillis and coriander) or red (red tomatoes and chillis) sauce. Great video by the way.
Thats no the way carnitas are made, but thats ok, i guess it tastes good, and just as someone wrote, you missed the salsa, thats the most important thing for a taco, the salsa
First generation Mexican here; I approve of your carnitas 👍
I'm so salty he forgot to put the oven temp. Now I can't eat them at work because I wasted to much time rewatching that same fucking part.
