We even had an auntie provide a delicious tropical punch to wash it all down! All of these recipes can be found easily (except the punch, but you can shoot me an email for that), with a Google search, so I am just going to focus on the meat\u2026<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I am sure you're okay with that.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">After bringing the pork shoulders to room temperature, I used a sharp knife to score the fat cap, rubbed them with coarse sea salt, and then brushed each with liquid smoke.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If you are a &#8220;smoke purist&#8221; don't freak out (I\u2019m one too,) but liquid smoke is how they do it in Hawaii. With La Caja China\u2019s electric smoker attachment (which I now have) I am looking forward to taking a more \u201cbbq approved\u201d approach to this recipe, this summer!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Next, I wrapped each shoulder loosely in banana leaves (I could not find Ti leaves,) tied them up with kitchen string, and then wrapped them in foil.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Post2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2585 alignnone\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Luau Pork Shoulders in &quot;La Caja China&quot; Roasting Box\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Post2-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Luau Pork Shoulders in &quot;La Caja China&quot; Roasting Box\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Post2-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Post2.jpg 307w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI placed each of the shoulders in a disposable pan, and roasted them in La Caja China for about six hours. Looking back, I think the pans were a waste of time, and I will stick to using just the racks next time.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">We started the box with 16lbs of coals and basically just followed the <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: small;\">Pork Shoulder Roast Work Sheet,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> from La Caja China\u2019s website, word for word.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">After about five hours, when I could not withstand the mouth-watering aroma wafting from my Cuban box any longer, I lifted the lid, unwrapped the shoulders, and peeled back the banana leaves to let the fat get crispy for the last half-hour.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">After letting the pork rest for about a half an hour (despite the grumblings of my guests,) I chopped up the shoulders and then mixed the meat with a wash of \u00bc cup liquid smoke, 4 cups hot water,\u00a0 1\/4 cup Adobo Criollo spices, and 2 Tbs seasoned salt. (Btw, I really think that the \u201cspice & smoke\u201d wash made the pork much more flavorful. I\u2019ve tried it both ways, and this was the big winner!)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a title=\"Luau Pork Shoulders in La Caja China\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Post3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2586 alignnone\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Luau Pork Shoulders in &quot;La Caja China&quot; Roasting Box\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cooking-outdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Post3.jpg\" alt=\"Luau Pork Shoulders in &quot;La Caja China&quot; Roasting Box\" width=\"230\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">After letting the meat rest another 15 minutes, the remaining liquid had been soaked up, and the luau pork was ready to be served.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">This was a darned good thing, as I was already fighting off an \u201cappreciative\u201d crowd with my spatula and tongs!<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The \u201coohs and ahhs\u201d quickly gave way to a famished silence, punctuated only by lip-smacking, and the occasional groan and exclamation of joy.
