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

use annabelle langbeins recipe in milk - its the best

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

Hey amazing grace how much salt do you use each time you add more etc?

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.
