Default Re: pork roast wrapped in banana leaves a la crockpot

Also, to make the banana leaves more pliable, instead of exposing to the sun for a few hours, we just blanch the leaves with hot water. Oftentimes, though, we just lay them on the bottom of the pan or pot, and cover the meat with them. When you turn on the heat, they will conform to the shape of the pan and whatever it is that you're cooking.
