whole Pig in a cajun microwave

[lsufish]

My friend just bought me a cajun microwave for the duck camp this season. The only problem is i have no idea how to use it. I would like to cook a whole pig one day at the camp during teal season, but need some tips on preparation, cooking time, temps. etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Inject pig good with Tonys injection season outside real good. Put him bone down and start cooking. Cook at 350-400 for 6-8 hours depending on weight of pig. Mmmmmm mmm.

You have an awesome friend if he bought you a Cajun Microwave!! Is he looking for more friends?

We usually cook low and slow. Put the fire on around midnight and drink until it's ready. Although, one person should stay sober enough to tend to the fire.

Not every microwave Cooks the same, some cook alot faster. Just start slow and see how what your temps do.

Good advice.

If your learning, I suggest that you order a pig already seasoned from Hollier's in Sulphur.

He does a good job of seasoning them and can't get you several sizes to cook.

Just a good starting point for a new cook.

How much does holliers charge. Last one I got from the Eunice superette. They did a good job and price was good but it sucks driving to Eunice. I didn't know holliers carried em.

I think you should do a test run before teal season and invite us! We could stand around and drink beer like king of the hill for 8 hours and poke the fire every now an then!

Haha thats funny. I"m sure i could ask him!

If i want it for dinner, could i get it started after the duck hunt? I figure i could get it going by 10:00 am, that would give me 8 hours or so until dinner.

You should be good

Do i need to flip the pig mid way through cooking it?

[Top Dawg]

Shouldn't need too. Some people put expanded metal on both sides and wire it together and they flip it sometimes. This prevents it from falling apart on the flip. We usually just put em bone down and let er eat.

It's basically an oven, cook it as you would in an oven.

You could make some pig sauce.....1 bottle A-1, 1 bottle Italian Dressin, 1 bottle Lee $ Perrins mix it all together and sprinkle it on the pig

Its bad for your health to use these things. You can ship to my address and I will dispose of it for you.....zzzzzzz

We flip that pig onto it's belly approx 1/2 hour before removing from CM then stack many coals to get as hot as we can crisping up the skin into cracklin texture.

Also, we let pig rest for one hour before carving allowing juices to distribute evenly throughout the meat.

I like my Cajun Microwave!
