Best way to make pork cracking

dallyfeline, Jan 1, 1:57pm
DO u use a oven dish with lid off entire cooking of pork and where do u place it in the oven

The best way - oven at hotest for 20-30 mins then down till pork cooked.Do not salt meat until just before going into oven so salt doesn't break down (high humidity makes this happen quite quick - have a look at your salt shaker!).No vinegar - and definately no microwave!Just oil and salt.

Room temp...dry skin with paper towel...cut skin...salt heaps and oil ...rub in well.... extra hot oven then when starts crackling turn down tempto cook Pork normal temp.You may need to cover once crackled with tin foil or even remove from meat....read on here that White Vinegar rubbed on after been in Hot oven 20 mins or so also works well....

Put in oven on high 230 for the first 30minutes then turn down for rest of time. Has worked perfectly every time since I started this method

Cut it off the meat. Put it on a rack above your dish and cook it that way. No oil, it hates moisture which is why it normally doesn't crisp up and taking it off the meat is a sure fire guaranteed way to remove all moisture from it.

I just wack it under the Griller till it bubbles up..

I have been told that it is best done in the microwave.Have not tried it as yet, but a butcher told me.A plate suitable to hold the heat (corning ware) is probably what you need and cover.

Score it prior to cooking and rub with salt.Then once the meat is cooked, cut it off the meat and grill it under high heat for 5 minutes or so, while the meat rests.

I cut skin off, score and rub with oil and sat. Place back on top of the remaining pork and throw in oven at 180 deg C for however long the meat needs to be cooked. Always works :)

totally agree with your method. Perfect every time.*Gordon Ramsay and Jo Seagar both use that method, that's where I first saw it.Should also be well scored in thin lines, buttered and salted before cooking. by now you are probalby eating it, enjoy!!

I take it off the meat and spread on a wire rack.,put the heat up and watch it like a hawk!So unhealthy but so nice!
