I lived in Guanajuato Capital for four years, and brought home a little caza from Santa Clara del Cobre, but this is my first time attempting carnitas. My caza is small, and I’m not sure how much meat it will safely handle. The guy at the Mexican market (I took it in so he could judge) said about 8 pounds—I put seven and a quarter in for this picture. It’s a hair over six and a half inches deep, not counting the half inch dip at the bottom, and with all the carne in, I’ve got about 3 inches of freeboard. Does this look doable? Thanks in advance!
