We've been going ham (pun intended) on porchetta recently, making a ton of it for us, family and friends. After cutting our teeth (not literally) on lots of crispy-skin pork, we thought we would share some tips and tricks on how to make this intimidating dish into an easy homemade meal.

    If porchetta is in the top five sandwiches in the world, what would the other four be? 🤔
  • @vuduboy
    Every time porchetta skin crunches, an angel gets his wings.
  • @danflaherty5218
    Porchetta is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!
  • @juanaltredo2974
    here in colombia in my city there was only 1 place that sold porchetta, but they only sold it to an italian school so I had to pretend I was a teacher from that school to buy a couple of times, and it was delicious!
  • @sjesposito3614
    Years ago I was introduced to porchetta by a friend whose Italian dad immigrated to work on the iron ore range in Minnesota. Her Finnish mother learned how to prepare his favorite dish and she taught it to my friend.

    Can we all give Harper a shout out for his editing? He adds funny little touches like zooming in the pork belly tipping over while Eva talks about the importance of having crispy skin on porchetta. He could have edited that out, but both Eva and Harper are able to laugh at the little foibles of making these videos. In a world of puffed up personalities, it's nice to know there are still people who admit they aren't perfect and who can laugh at themselves.
  • @f_viamonte
    This is my favorite channel, period. The recipes are great and still approachable. Eva and Harper are very charismatic. Love it.
  • @billboth6572
    Harper, I am sure I am not alone in this, I would love to see your dad in another one of your videos.
  • Harper, when I first visited Italy in 1999, my husband took me to a little shop that sold cured meats—prosciutto, salami, etcetera. I had my VERY FIRST panini there. And it was marvelously delicious, crusty bread with paper thin slices of prosciutto and some type of cheese. No condiments, no tomatoes, no mayo; just the meat and the bread—it was the best sandwich I ever had! Years later I heard of panini presses here in the US. There were no panini presses in Italy!

    About 12+ years ago, I used to make a porchetta with a picnic shoulder, boned and butterflied. it was delicious (garlic, sage, rosemary. oil, salt, pepper flakes). cooked on a bed of vegetables 4+ hours. Yes it lasted a while.. I think I'll try yours.
  • @AussieAngeS
    Now that porchetta looks sensational 😍😍 that crunch was fabulous when Eva cut into it.
  • @bakerzermatt
    I've had it a few times in Italy, but it's been hit and miss for me. I've had AMAZING porchetta in Lucca, Florence, and near lake Trasimene, and mediocre porchetta from the supermarket and in northern Italy (near Domodossola). Like most Italian food, it's regional.
  • @sooz9433
    I have made porchetta but it's been years..😂 I know exactly how delicious it is! Thank you Eva and Harper.. my Sunday mornings are such fun with you two! ✨️♥️
  • @84Elenai
    19:05 Wait... I didn't know that Harper was Max's son! Max was one of the best contestants on MasterChef Italia, a proper gentleman with an authentic appreciation for our culture and traditions. I remember he made an amazing 'gumbo' and Massari even complimented his dessert... profusely! 😂♥ Such a lovely thing to see! That porchetta looks *Homer Drooling
  • @cubanmama4564
    I am so happy you made a small porchetta in the Dreo Air Fryer, as I own one. This is my third air fryer and the best so far. What's important here is that there are so many people who own air fryers and here's a classic and delicious recipe that can be made regardless of air fryer. My daughter is going to try this recipe in her probe-less air fryer. She's using an instant read thermometer to monitor temperature. Making this in the regular oven is time consuming but doable. For those who bemoan the fact that you made a video of making porchetta in an air fryer instead of an oven, I recommend you repeat the video making the porchetta in a regular oven so those folks can see how time consuming it is to monitor a porchetta in a home oven as I well know. What is important about using the air fryer is that a home oven temperature fluctuates and is not always on target regardless of make. So the porchetta has a greater chance of overcooking and drying out. Even the most expensive brands can be off. That's why thermometers/probes are a must.
  • @eyechartny
    My cousin will make porchetta once in a while, and while it's pretty good I was in full Homer Simpson drool mode watching this. Bravo!
  • @robinthce
    That looks AMAZING!!! I'll need to plan this one for when we have some company over to help eat it! Thank you, Eva and Harper! ❤
  • @ajvot71
    Thank you for showing that porchetta can be made on a small scale. I’ll be making this very soon.
