half-cooked pernil
Amy
11/22/11 		I'm cooking a pernil to bring to someone's house for Thanksgiving. I'm planning to go there early, but since their ovens will be busy baking/roasting, I want to half cook the pernil at home and finish cooking it their house. Will this dry up the pernil?

It would also be easier to serve and make a handsome platter-
