The secret steps to guaranteeing unbelievably Crispy Pork Belly every time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through extensive trial and error (basically, we\u2019ve eaten a ton of Pork Belly over the years) we have perfected the steps to guarantee a perfectly crispy, crackling Pork Belly every time

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need for blow torches, or a super-secret spice blend to put onto the skin. No, getting amazing Crispy Pork Belly Skin comes down to these three steps

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Score the Skin<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Salt the Skin<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Leave in the Refrigerator<\/strong>

    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. Score the Skin with a Sharp Knife<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Scoring the Skin will allow for more air and heat to get into the skin when it is roasted, thus ensuring an even cook throughout. We like to score the skin into diamond shapes, so that each diamond on the skin begins to char individually. If you do not score the skin what happens is the outside edges begin to char, however the heat cannot get to the center of the skin, so you\u2019ll likely have a very uneven cook
