With the right amount of planning, patience, and persistence, we think all of our recipes are achievable for any cook. That being said, some recipes are going to be trickier to pull off than others. We created a scale to help give you an idea of how complex you can expect a given recipe to be.

Recipe Effort

We’ve done the impossible. We made carnitas even better by braising them in beer inside a Traeger grill. Start with a well marbled boneless pork shoulder and break it down to two inch chunks. Then toss the chunks into a Dutch oven and cover with beer and water and let it cook down for about 3 hours.
