How we chose
Research-backed · reviewed Aug 2026
We matched the recipe’s diameter and preheating method, then checked material, heat retention, cooktop fit, weight, care, stable model identity, and exact destination. Kwilt has not cooked with this skillet.
Lodge 10.25-Inch Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet · L8SK3: The 10.25-inch seasoned surface matches the recipe footprint and retains enough heat to create the crisp cornbread edge promised by a preheated skillet method. Trade-off: It weighs more than five pounds, the handles become hot, and avoiding rust requires prompt hand washing, drying, and light oiling.
Another workable path: Preheat a 9-inch metal cake pan with the recipe’s fat; the crust will be lighter but the crumb and flavor remain valid.

Instructions

Mix pork with pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy, half the garlic, salt, annatto, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours.
Put pork and marinade in a with 1 cup water. Simmer uncovered until pork is tender and water has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and fry pork over medium, turning often, until glazed, caramelized, and 145°F inside; reduce heat before the sugar scorches.
