OMG!

Ok, honestly I have been eyeballing one of these for the past two years. Well, finally after reading literally dozens of online articles, reviews, and watching I can't recall how many YouTube videos, I bit the bullet and ordered one. I'm now here to tell you.....NO REGRETS! It arrived in 2 days with Amazon Prime, and aside for a couple slightly bent pieces of aluminum during shipping (which were easy enough to straighten with a pair of small pliers) assembly went off without incident. The ease of use was better than advertised. Honestly, this thing is idiot proof. I received it on a Thursday, and cooked my first whole pig on Saturday. Everyone was raving out how good it was. If you can follow simple directions, you can use this box. I do not see how anyone can go wrong. Operation couldn't have been any simpler and the outcome could not have been any more delicious!!! We can not wait to try something else in it. Thank you Roberto for such a simple yet amazing product. Will definitely be recommending this to my friends, family, and clients.

Takes You Back to the Old Country

Growing up with lechon, I was accustomed to the cinderblock pit in the yard that my dad had built. Not the most convenient method of continuing the tradition. Fast forward, I came across La Caja China at a friend's bbq and decided to give it a shot myself. Aside from seasoning, roasting the pig is of the utmost importance. This box is PERFECT! And with the instructions written on the box itself, its hard to screw it up! I have been using it for Noche Buenas and bbqs since and my family agrees, including my dad!

American Guinea Hog Perfection!

We raise heritage breed pigs and wanted a special way to prepare them for events. I'd seen these on food network and other cooking shows and we decided to try one and see if it works "as advertised" = a perfectly cooked pig with crispy skin in about 4 hours.

Our first run was for my wife's birthday on New Year's Eve and it was a balmy 25 degrees when we lit the charcoal. After 4 hours and 25 minutes from inserting the pig, we had it on the table and is was exactly as advertised. I made 3 dipping sauces and had done some injecting (an injector came with the box) and everyone loved it! Our pig was headless (for my wife) and hanging dry weighed 44#.

This is a great product and practically idiot proof. The only minor challenges involved assembly. If you know something about tools and have a few large clamps you'll be done in about an hour getting it all together.

One happy surprise was the cleaning...there was a significant amount of rendered lard in the bottom. Enough that next time I'll clarify and store it for other uses. For our first experience I just used a little hot water to rinse after a very gentle scrape of the inside with a stick.

We'll be curious to see how durable this is...can it stand up to monthly use for years??? But, assuming I can get 15 uses from it I think it's a great value and cuts a pig roast time down by about 12 hours.

Finally make the decision to purchase Model #2 for my daughter's graduation. All parts were shipped without any damage. I found the instructions on point. The holes were right on. It took about 35 minutes to put my #2 model together. I will put it to good use in a few days and expecting to use this often.

Easy way to impress a crowd!

Ordered it one week before a party for 30. Bought a 32-lb suckling pig at local butcher. Caja arrived 2 days before party, but I didn't assemble until morning of party (of course!). PANIC TIME! Thought we were missing the ends of the box... Turns out they are mounted together on a frame of sorts, so appeared to be a top or bottom piece. This factoid is nowhere on assembly instructions!! Anyway, we figured it out... Including panic spell, it took us way less than an hour to assemble the box.

I cooked the pig EXACTLY to the instructions nicely labeled on the ends of the box, but still used an internal temperature probe buried in one of the hams to verify. Right at about 191 degrees (roughly my desired temp) it was time, according to the instructions, to open the box to flip the pig. Took a full 30 mins (then a quick peek) followed by another 20 minutes to get a gorgeous, crispy (like a drum, baby!) mahogany-colored skin. Can you say chicharrones???!!!!?

Crowd LOVED the pig. Very dramatic presentation and the meat was wonderful. The crispy skin disappeared the quickest, followed by the shoulders and ribs.

We had a lot of appetizers, salads, side dishes and dessert, but 1lb/person of dressed pig was barely enough to leave leftovers, so I wouldn't cut it closer than that. My crowd was a even mix of men and women and included about 8 children, so if you are feeding hungry adults and want some leftovers, I suggest going above the recommended 1lb/person on the piggie!!

Best way to roast a pig

Roast a pig in four hours, just as promised, a 100 pounder takes a bit longer. Very happy.
