Roasted Pork Belly With Crispy Crackling

  1. Cover a two pound / one kilo piece skin on pork belly in 75 grams / 2.6 oz (6 Tablespoons / 90 ml) of lightly crushed salt.
  2. Insert the probe in the thickest port of the belly.
  3. In the bottom rack add water to a baking tray or cookie sheet.
  4. On a higher rack (just above the middle of the oven) add a the pork belly. I used a wire rack for better air circulation. Cook at 350F / 175C until desired tempature is achieved (this took 20 minutes). In this case I cooked to 165F / 74C .
  5. Remove from the oven. Notice how much the pork has shrunk! Go ahead and turn the oven up to 475F / 250C.
  6. Remove the salt from the skin and remove the probe. It's no longer needed, but you could leave it in to see what the final internal temp is. Place the pork back into the oven until the skin gets to you desired crispness. If its gets a little black around the edges do not worry. Use a knife to scrape off the black part.
