      same just watched 3 other videos to learn how to do good crackling and this one is by far simplest looking method. looks super tasty too, they all do though but at least I feel theres less chance I'll mess this one up.

    If you don't have the budget to buy free rage organic pork which cold cost more than $10 per KG than pork from the supermarket, buy the normal stuff from the super market that is in the pre packaged vac packs and take it out the vac pack the night before and put it in the fridge uncovered over night. The fridge drys the skin out over night and the crackle works out perfectly.

      That "dry it uncovered in the fridge overnight" trick also works well when preparing a duck for roasting.

    Dear Gill,
    Thanks a lot for sharing your tips&Tricks on pork crackling. I have tried your way on last Tuesday, welcoming 10 guests inclusive Canton natives, all of our guests were very happy. All the credit is to you and to the butcher house "ferme du bouret" as the only thing I did was salt&pepper + setting oven temperature right. It was simply delicious.
    In this way, anyone can cook (Remy's way).
    Thanks a lot

      You can, just go forth and practice. And before you protest I have news for you. Every single Chef all the way across to home cook has pulled something out of the oven they aren't happy with. All you have to do is figure out the cause and have another crack at it. Patience, persistence and perseverance and you can do it! Good luck.

    Well, I did this and I am a kitchen rank amateur. Easy to understand, nice and short, and the product of my labour was equally phenomenal and delicious. I have to admit though, to get the crispiness scale up, I had to go 500degF (Broil) for about 5minutes). Otherwise, cooked to perfection, tender, juicy and perfect colouring. I am quite amazed. Mazeltov!
