Just salt.The most important thing is to keep the skin completely dry.

watched Better Homes and gardens the other night - he ran the pork under hot water after scoring then gave a tip to use hair dryer on cool setting to dry it out before cooking - hadnt heard that one before

i boil the jug and slowly pour the hot water over the skin, pat dry, and then rub skin with oil and salt, crank up the oven, and sit down and wait for the magic, when you are happy with the crackle, drop the oven temp right back to 150-160, pour water, water and stock or milk (havent tried this) just up to the top of the meat, not the crackling, and slow bake

I don't know.I have an utter and total inability to produce crackling.The pork is amazing. the crackling is shite.Burnt or rubbery.It is the one thing that I have never been able to do.Ever.
But here is my six hour pork belly recipe. just do the crackling your way. not mine.
