2.5 ish.I use 1.5ish to fill my smaller roasting dish. as there's only two of us.You should be able to see the physical size of it when you buy it.

thanks fisher, i was going to pre-order, i think i will just ask when im in the butcher - i was just going to try and sound like i know what im talking about

Just tell him you want a piece the size of a roasting dish. he wont know the difference.lol. It's my fav piece of pork now and done that way is very nice indeed. Pork.one of the cheapest meat now.

l made it in my big roasting dish but had to put more milk in than stated and it lost its flavour a bit so will cut the next one in half and make it in a smaller dish for 2
l should have put in more sage leaves instead of the 2 or 3 stated but it was still very nice

so recipes say 1-1.5 of belly pork feeds four people.there is other meat i will be serving, so for 10-12 people - 3-4kg's! Will that fit in the roasting pan! SHould I keep it as one piece - or cut it up!

I made this is my ceramic dish - when I added the milk, the dish cracked.Definitely needs to be in a metal dish!(Haven't made it since as I don't have a small one suitable).

Nice to know I'm not the only person that that happened to!

Take the dish to your butcher so he can cut it too order. I have a pet pork butcher who takes me into the chiller so I can select the pig as well :)
