Baste the meat with rice wine vinegar. When heated, the vinegar will further dry out the skin, thus promoting it to crisp. Place the salt on top of the skin, carefully making sure as little of the salt gets on to the sides of the pork belly. This is because the meat will absorb the salt.
Why is my crackle not crackling?
If you’ve missed a step along the way and the skin hasn’t crackled, don’t give up. Cut it away from the meat and place it on a baking tray lined with foil, then brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Cook under a preheated grill until the magic happens.
Should you oil pork crackling?
Points to remember
Brush the skin liberally with oil so that as the pork cooks, this will render the fat out and help it to blister. Score the skin with a sharp knife to help the fat escape during cooking, but don’t cut all the way into the meat.
Does pouring boiling water on pork make better crackling?
Pour boiling water over the rind. This allows the fat to render out easily. Dry the crackling, and then allow to sit uncovered at room temperature for an hour or two to ensure that it is completely dry.
What oil should I use for pork crackling?

How long does it take to cook crackling?
Sprinkle generously with salt (2-3 tsp sea salt or table salt). Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until small bubbles form on surface and rind is golden and crisp.
Should you cover pork when roasting?
Do not cover pork crackling joints while they’re cooking, or you’ll be left with soggy crackling. There’s no need to baste pork while it’s cooking as the fat should keep it moist, but some cooks like to brush the crackling with a little extra oil once or twice.
