We Built a Wood-Fired Oven to Make the Ultimate Cochinita Pibil | ChefSteps

  • Traditional cochinita pibil is made with a whole suckling pig that's been marinated in recado rojoa (a citrusy, garlicky, achiote-forward marinade) and then wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked in a "pib," an earthen underground oven. Digging a hole is back-breaking work, so we decided to hack a ChefSteps-style aboveground pib with materials you can find at a hardware store. We did it for the hibachi grill and the pizza oven. Can we do the same for the pib? Grant invited a ton of hungry guests for the ultimate cochinita pibil party, so the pressure is on! Will the fire stay on? Will the pork remain tender and juicy? Will Grant and Jonathan be rewarded with the best damn tacos this side of Seattle? Stay tune to find out.
    For a fail-safe way of re-creating restaurant-worthy cochinita pibil, Chef Jonathan also shared with us his method for an at-home recipe using pork shoulder, a Dutch oven, and a regular oven. Check out the recipe at ChefSteps: www.chefsteps.com/activities/...

    Good lord that marinade is FABULOSITY. The initial fire management was quite lame, clearly attributable to not drinking beer. Beer drinking around a cookibg fire is not optional, it is an essential part of the process.

    How did wood smoke flavor get into the sealed pot? Through the pores of the masa? By charring the pot itself? Or was it just the roasted banana leaves inside the pot imparting the smoky flavor and aroma?

    • @satanismybrother
      @satanismybrother 10 місяців тому +1

      I doubt smoke flavour would get through the masa, but there is going to be a lot of smoke flavour from the charred garlic in the marinade

    I feel like mixing stones with the smoldering coals in there would help with the heat.
    I'd love to see you do a Peruvian Pachamanca with this method. Bonus points if you use guinea pig.
    BTW I think I figured out what neighborhood your house is in from that amazing view!

    I see they put it in another stainless pot but that looks like a galvanized tub and I don’t think I would mess with building fires in galvanized steel. I think it’s pretty toxic.

    So in one episode you create a grill with bricks and don't warn that you shouldn't use regular bricks - a likelihood - or else they can explode and blind someone, and now you up the ante and build a fire in a metal can but don't mention not to use galvanized steel - another likelihood - where they can create noxious fumes and poison themselves.
    I'm not a nanny state guy but c'mon you could at least *mention* these dangers-by-default. Wondering if y'all know what you're really doing anymore, or just bored...

    • @satanismybrother
      @satanismybrother 10 місяців тому +8

      Get a grip.
      Regular bricks are typically fine for fire purposes. They are fired at higher temperatures than a bbq and don’t reabsorb water (which is where you have the potential for it to blow up).
      Galvanised steel is use for garden incinerators. Even if it does give off some off fumes They are using it outside in a well ventilated space.
      I don’t even think you are trying to alert people to safety issues. You just want to feel superior.

    • @stevenjacobs2750
      @stevenjacobs2750 10 місяців тому +3

      The zinc will burn off one time and as long as you're not standing over the fire to inhale as much smoke as possible there's no risk.
      Do you expect them to tell you not to breathe in smoke as well? Don't put the marinate in your eyes? Don't jump into the fire head first?
      Get a grip bud.

    Maybe punch some holes around the bottom circumference of the metal fire pit ring to let the oxygen come in…
