Recipe: Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas — Recipes from The Kitchn

Pin it button big

We started this website to help people cook more often and more joyfully, with the idea that the kitchen is the hearth of the home, the warm place. It is by spending time there that we connect and grow.

Nothing to see here, guys.

strong tea

Really, you wouldn’t like this. Who’d want to drink a half-frozen blend of strong tea, lemonade, orange juice and bourbon garnished with fresh mint on a sticky, hot summer day? It might give you a little brain freeze. It would probably feel like liquid air conditioning. It could improve your outlook to the point that you might forget to dread the next heat wave.

Pin it button big

The first time my husband and I grilled pizza, we burned the bottom to a crisp. The second time we tried a pizza stone, but that didn’t get hot enough to give us the char we wanted. For our third (and fourth, and fifth) attempts, we tweaked the dough’s thickness, the heat intensity, and the timing. We asked grill master friends for advice, and then finally, we hit the sweet spot.

Needless to say, all this troubleshooting came in quite handy when we decided to grill pizza for our porch party earlier this month! Here are 5 things we learned in our quest for better grilled pizza:
