La Caja China

[Burntwood boy]

Hi All,

I came across this box whilst surfing a couple of months ago and forgot all about it but joining this forum refreshed my memory. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the chinese box or Caja China as it is known. Seems to be popular in Miami and looking at the following video I can see why, nice crackling!!!

Not sure what category of cooking it would come under but it seems to work.

Gotta love a good ol' Cajun microwave.

They are fairly simple to cook on and last for years.

I was thinking about making one as there are no suppliers in the UK. If I ever get the time that is!!

Have you cooked on one before?

Burntwood,

I have three of the four models of La Caja China, and use them all the time. I've written two cookbooks specifically designed for the roasting boxes, and maintain a website with a Q&A, recipes, and lots of tips.

Happy to answer any questions you have, here or on my blog!

La Caja China has a very active Facebook page, as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
