-
Step 1
Install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit. Turn the left-hand dial to select SPECIALTY ROAST, set STAGE 1 temperature to 600°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Push the righthand dial to select STAGE 2, then set the temperature to 300°F and time to 2 hours 45 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 25 minutes).
-
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and oil to form a paste. Place the roast on top of the Pro-Heat pan and spread the seasoning rub on the top side of the roast.
-
Step 3
When the unit is preheated and ADD FOOD and PRS STRT displays, open the door and place the pan in the unit. Close the door and select START/STOP to begin cooking.
-
Step 4
After 10 minutes, when STAGE 2 cooking begins, open the door, and remove the pan onto a heat-proof surface. Transfer the pork roast to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
-
Step 5
Distribute the chopped onions around the roast, pour the orange juice and salsa Verde into the baking dish and with a fork, combine the mixture. Cover with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the oven, close the door, and allow to cook.
-
Step 6
Cooking is complete when the internal temperature of the pork roast reads 190F to 195F on an instant-read thermometer and the pork meat separates easily. (Cooking the pork to any temperature below that won’t give you meat that is tender enough to pull apart properly.)
-
Step 7
Remove pan from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Using forks, shred the meat and combine with the sauce.
-
Step 8
Serve pork carnitas with tortillas, fresh Pico de Gallo, chopped cilantro, and sour cream.
