Why do you add milk to carnitas?
The milk acts as a tenderizer, a secret I learned while growing up watching dad make his carnitas which, by the way, were always exceptionally tender. The beer gives the pork another layer of flavor, while the cinnamon, which pairs so well with pork, adds warm, earthy tones.

How do you make stovetop carnitas?
Pour in enough water to cover the meat completely. Heat on medium-high heat until the liquid comes to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Flip the pork over onto its other side after 45 minutes, add the peppers and onions, and continue to cook until all the water is boiled off, about 1½ hours or more.
Do you put water in carnitas?
You take the pork, cover it with water, and cook until the water has evaporated. Then you let the fat render from the meat, which browns and crisps up the edges, forming the most delicious, tender, irresistible pork you will ever place in your mouth.
Can I use shortening for carnitas?

Can I reuse carnitas lard?
(You can refrigerate the lard to use for another round of carnitas, to season beans or fry potatoes or the like.)
