My brother Matt is our king of the pig roast. Years ago, he bought a La Caja China roasting box. Ever since, about once a year, he treats us with a pig roast. There’s nothing quite like inviting 30 friends over, dropping a whole pig on the kitchen island, and telling them: “dig in!”. The roasting box is a metal lined wooden box.
Yes, La Caja China can also take on seafood. This slow cooker recipe integrates lobster, clams, shrimp, linguica sausage, and vegetables. You will also find recipes for Will’s Garlic Butter and Romesco Sauce, both perfect dipping sauces for your Perfect Clambake.
Using the hot oven mitts, remove the top from the La Caja China and set it on the handles to rest (keep the kids away as it will be very hot). The pig will need to rest and can remain in the un-covered La Caja China box.
