Summary: For those of you unfamiliar with a China Box, think of it as the Microwave of the Masses. In both cases, you put the food inside of a retangular container, seal it off and waves of heat cook your main course. With a microwave, you just plug it and press a button. But Communist leaders scorn such each of use when lessons of dedication, perserverance and teamwork are to be gleaned from a more extended cooking process. Indeed, roasting a pig in a China box entails adding charcoals to maintain a constant temperature over the four-hour cooking time as well as enlisting one of your fellow comrades to help you flip your feast. But unlike the capitalist microwave cook sitting in front of their television set eating Stouffer's Teriaki chicken and rice, the China Box meal will feed an entire village.

In this free series of pig roasting videos, our expert chef David Postada will discuss the history of the China box and demontrate how to prepare and maintain it throughout the cooking process. Constructed of wood with a stainless steel inside lining, the box allows you to roast an entire pig in an afternoon. And you don't even have to dig a hole in your back yard!
