Step-By-Step: How to Achieve Perfect Pork Crackling.

Step 1: Choose the Right Cut of Pork.

Look for a cut of pork with a good layer of fat on top. The ideal cut for crispy crackling is pork belly or pork shoulder.

Step 2: Score the Skin.

Using a sharp knife, carefully score the skin in a criss-cross pattern. Make sure you don't cut into the meat itself.

Step 3: Season the Skin.

Sprinkle a generous amount of salt onto the scored skin. You can also add other seasonings such as pepper, garlic powder, or herbs if you prefer.

Step 4: Dry the Skin.

Leave the pork out in the open air for a few hours or overnight to allow the skin to dry out. This will help it to crisp up during cooking.

Step 5: Preheat the Oven.

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Make sure the oven is fully heated before putting in the pork.

Step 6: Oil the Skin.

Rub a small amount of oil onto the skin to help it crisp up. This can be olive oil, vegetable oil, or even lard if you have it.

Step 7: Roast the Pork.

Place the pork in a roasting tin with the skin facing upwards. Roast for 20 minutes at 220°C (430°F), then reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue roasting for another 50-60 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

Step 8: Finish the Crackling.

Once the pork is cooked, turn the oven up to its highest setting and place the pork back in to finish the crackling. Watch carefully as the skin can easily burn. It should take just a few minutes for the crackling to become golden and crisp.

Step 9: Rest the Pork.

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure the meat is tender.

Is it worth the extra effort?

Absolutely! Perfect pork crackling is a true delight for the senses, with its irresistible combination of crunchy, salty skin and juicy, tender meat. It's definitely worth taking the extra time and effort to achieve that perfect crackling.
