How to Slow Cook a Pig

Slow cooking a whole pig is a dramatic culinary presentation that can feed a crowd. Most ovens are not large enough to accommodate a whole pig, so plan on using an outdoor pit or specially made roaster. Whether your pig will be the center of a Hawaiian luau, an Argentinean asado or a Spanish arabes, you'll use the same method to prepare and slow cook the pig over a large pit or in the roaster. Slow cooking yields tender meat that you can eat by itself or use as the centerpiece for tacos, casseroles, barbecue sandwiches and more.
