I am not sure but i have been told to cook it slower. My Brother cooked some for us a few weeks back, it was so tender and nice. Cooked it for about 2 and a half hours. Good luck

To 'pickle' it as a cold meat, rub salt and dried mixed herbs into the inside and roll and tie. Place in cold water to cover and bring slowly to a simmer, then cook for a couple of hours or so depending on size. Gently. Lift off any scum that forms on the top. You can serve warm with a mustard, or caper, or sharp flavoured white sauce (parsley is good), - as you would boiled bacon, or leave to cool overnight then thin slice for sandwiches and salads.
And it's very very good - but not exactly low fat, lol.

I make it into bacon....sprinkle with salt, and rosemary and put in a plastic bag in the fridge.Every day take it out and rub with more salt if needed.For about 1 a week.The I smoke in the smoker for 1/2hr, then slice thinly whenever I need it.Keeps really well

I do Annabelle Langbeins recipe with lots of salt and a high temp for 20 minutes then slow for a couple of hours with milk poured in just until the meat touches the fat which leave the crackling delicious. You can also pour apple cider around it too

Just a tip, make sure the dish you roast it in is not too much bigger than the belly, just about an inch distance all round, i made it in a huge roasting dish, was ok, but could have been better.
