WHAT IS OUR OVEN READY SUCKLING PIG? Our ready to cook suckling pig quarter is a convenience solution, consisting of a traditional quarter of Spanish cochinillo from Segovia, that you can cook in just 2 hours inside a thermoresistant plastic bag, preserving all the properties, flavour, freshness, juiciness and avoiding the hassle of preparing and knowing how to cook a suckling pig, plus there is no oven cleaning afterwards! Unlike many commercially reared pigs, our piglets remain with their mothers for up to 21 days where they are entirely milk fed. This produces meat with the finest texture and flavour, meat of incomparable flavour and succulence with melt-in-the-mouth crackling. Our oven ready suckling pig quarter is 2 star Great Taste Award winner in 2017. WHAT CUT IS THE OVEN READY SUCKLING PIG? A suckling pig quarter includes either the front shoulder or back leg plus part of the best-end which includes the loin and ribs. HOW DO I COOK A SUCKLING PIG QUARTER? Your suckling pig quarter is oven ready. To cook, simply bring the suckling pig to room temperature and place the bag in the rack of a pre-heated oven at 200°C/390°F/Gas Mark 6 with the skins facing upwards for 2 hours until tender with a wonderful crispy crackling. HOW WILL I RECIEVE MY SUCKLING PIG QUARTER? You will receive one frozen vac pac of suckling pig quarter delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the suckling pig straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM SUCKLING QUARTER TO SUCKLING QUARTER, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE WEIGHT OF YOUR SUCKLING PIG QUARTER.

Fantastic and without two days preparing it. The crackling was great even cooked within the bag as instructed. The meat was mealt in the mouth. Fantastic food after a wintertime walk

What can I say?! Absolutely fantastic! I was a bit concerned by the idea of cooking such beautiful meat inside a bag! But there was no reason at all for any concern. The bag certainly did its job and after the two hours in the oven as per very clear instructions, the result was a very tender, juicy and very tasty meat. And the crackling was amazing, just as I know it! This was a cochinillo that took me back to the times I had it in Segovia! Delicious!! Thank you Basco for making it possible!

This is not the first or second time we've ordered this!!! It's delicious - wonderfully succulent meat, crispy skin - everything you'd expect. And, it's really easy to cook - just follow the clear concise instructions - perfect every time! So nice we're having it for our Christmas meal this year!

Fantastic taste. We were only three people and we could enjoy a proper suckling pig without having to buy the whole beast.

Succulent crispy suckling pig had always been a hit and miss affair in our home. Imagine our total surprise when we came across Basco frozen ready to cook suckling pig quarters. Crispy? How can it ever be crispy cooked inside a bag? But this is truly special. We cooked it for my 77th birthday dinner and it did make the celebration so special. Thank you.
