👩🏼‍🍳 A Few Wee Tips & Notes 🔪
– Do not marinate the skin, moisture is the enemy of crispy crackling
– Cooking on a wire rack allows the fat to drip away and helps the skin crisp evenly
– Resting is essential, it keeps the meat juicy and allows the crackling to fully set
– If your oven has hot spots, rotate the tray during the final crisping stage
– A sharp knife or cleaver works best for cracking through the chicharrón

  6. I mean, really, except for the part that it is now mostly only women who do all the work instead of the whole house/community.
    Why should we celebrate Christmas for only one dat?
    It's take sometimes months to prepare, for one day. Not even, just a half day really.

  16. I'm American and here we do both! In my area specifically it's basically a "draw lots" situation where the most prominent family in a group chooses either Eve or Day, and that choice swaps between even and odd years, that way if you have more than 1 family to visit you do so on the opposite day. So, mom's family does Eve this year, then dad's family does Day, and next year it's the opposite.

    If you've more family than that, then you split each day in half… if you live close enough.

  18. Feliz navidad to you and all your family. I am Dominican married to a Dutch man. So in our home we also have a mixed Christmas dinner. We also had bunuelitos this Christmas along with pastelitos. Hope you guys have many of these Christmas'
