Hi Laura, well done, the pork turned out perfect! A couple of hints you might find useful. Let the pork defrost uncovered. The fridge will dry out the skin. Nothing has a better drying effect than refrigeration and as an example, if you ever get your cellphone wet, just put it in the fridge and it will dry out just fine. I use a box cutter to cut through pork skin. I have one dedicated just to the kitchen and I clean with white vinegar. If you want to add a Chinese flavour to your pork belly. You can bathe the meat in 5 spice and ginger and or, soy, star anise, aminos, ground white pepper, whatever your taste. Just put it flesh side down in the marinade whilst its in the fridge, making sure that you don't get any moisture on the skin. You can also cook it in the marinade. With your method, I'd take the pork out of the marinade and keep it aside to add it to the last 30 minutes of the procedure. Bon Appetite and thanks for your vid. I'm going to use this method from now on.

[@nicolemclaughlin9858]

thank you for your tips

[@jelenabartels1811]

This would be even quicker to do in an airfryer! Good recipe.

[@Dakiniwoman]

Laura... you and other Carnivores are the healthiest looking people I see on KZbin... that is why I am keeping to it as much as I can.

[@TheKoog97]

Ooof thats kinda stupid. Lots of people doing nutritionally deficient diets look pretty good.

[@Lucy-dx7vc]

@@TheKoog97 Im 28 days on carnivore and my rheumatism pain is almost gone. I give a s*ht what pharma says. they want to earn money. carnivore helps, never felt better in the last 10 years. period

[@TheKoog97]

@@Lucy-dx7vc thats fine, however it’s nutritionally deficient. Look into Biolayne or MPMD on youtube, they are very knowledgeable about nutrition and endocrinology. The carnivore diet model is insufficient long term. Most carnivore diet people eat fruit for the carbs and fiber as well. Fiber also decreases all cause mortality by 4x. Im glad you are pain free but probably would have been on any diet that severely limits processed foods.

[@metrobar3367]

@@TheKoog97 thats the pt all carbs are processed & bad for you. Name the ones that arnt and you’ll find there ok on a keto diet. I.e vegetables.

[@TheKoog97]

@@metrobar3367 no carbs are bad for you. Pasta rice and bread is not bad for you. That claim just shows a lack of knowledge in nutrition science.

[@thecarnitarianlife]

Laura, you absolutely knocked this out of the park! Well done! You're making me hungry!

[@LauraSpath]

You are a genius!!!! Thank you for all your Meat cooking Inspiration!!

[@sharongerty4574]

Where do you purchase your snacks when you buy. Looked like beef chips, etc. I can get pork rinds at Meijer's, but those other big bags snacks I've not seem. Thank you. Sharon

[@LordStanley94]

@@LauraSpath Great recipe and thanks for taking the time in making the video. I would avoid cooking, grilling or baking with Aluminum foil. It is truly very bad for you.

[@Musicpuppet777]

Laura, I appreciate all your hard work in making these videos. I would love to see more pork recipes. I buy 30 lbs of beef the first half of the month and 30 lbs of pork in the second half. I'm on a budget (Social Security) so there is more and more pork in my world. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@BrigettePolmar]

Amazing! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for demystifying yet another cut of meat and breaking it down with basic easy-to-use tools and techniques.

[@Embracethesuckwithme]

Ok OMG I made this yesterday and it was sooo amazing. unctuous and crunchy. My husband LOVED IT SO MUCH I HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE TODAY. Absolutely yummy. Thank you so much.

[@kearnsey64]

Hubby was speechless! Lol! Thanks Laura! That looks amazing!

[@LauraSpath]

😂😂 he's a man of few words (on camera)

[@richphameous793]

Fantastic job on the video. Perfectly simplistic descriptions and methods. I’m a big pork belly fan and this is the only video that has inspired me to give another method a try and based on your video there’s no way I could possibly go wrong. You and your husband are great and such an inspiration. I’m very happy you both are doing so well with this lifestyle shift. Way to go!

[@nancyjackson8690]

OMG ... To die for! My husband will LOVE this, thanks.

[@paulaw418]

I have a pork belly sitting in my freezer. Just waiting for the perfect recipe! Thanks!

[@SarahKleinerWellness]

Love this video! Thank you for making it - and thank you Linda for the amazing recipe!!

[@LauraSpath]

Haha Yes she is a genius!! 🙌🙌

[@JessicaGrey1080]

Well, now we have to get pork belly 😋 I've cooked before but could never achieve that crackling. I can't wait to try this technique. Thanks Laura!!!!

[@UntetheredConsciousness]

This is way less complicated than the method I've been using. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you Laura.

[@jasonhansen3379]

Awesome way to make those have made that many times. Tastes so good!

[@jasonhansen3379]

Also wanted to mention not sure if you know this or if matters. KZbin inserted adds while I watched this.

[@ccc369]

Just made this 2 hours ago - delicious :) All the best from Europe

[@myhappyplace7861]

Talk about perfect timing! I watched many of your videos but had missed this one. I just brought home two entire pork bellies with the skin on and was trying to figure out how I was going to cook them. This is perfect! Have one in the oven right now

[@georgehardin8452]

I just cooked the pork belly like you said omg I love it.thanx laura for another great video.

[@daviddonnelly2700]

Very very awesome vid. Clear, simple and salivation-inducing! Thanks.

[@veeveeisallyouneed]

I am definitely trying that the next time I make pork belly.

[@crystalspry175]

Great the salt came off. Im going to try this looks yummy.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

All I can say is wow. That looks awesome. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to try this.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

Moist crispy pork looks and sounds delicious 😋

[@jeffreissig1041]

Laura, I just found your channel. I am about to start carnivore diet. You look amazing!! Congrats on all of your progress and thanks for sharing your experience

[@wadecrews3993]

I usually smoke my pork belly or cold smoke for bacon . I did your method today because I didn't want to smoke it. It is amazing!

[@searunner4898]

Thank you, really enjoyed this video 👍 Greetings from Tasmania 🐧

[@ltmmwd2873]

That is awesome, I am definitely going to try this!

[@jumboon]

I recently discovered the air fryer and the first meal was pork belly strips. FANTASTIC as never before. I used a combined 1000watts micro before but in the air fryer is just another level😋 and quickly either

[@Morningdovecamp]

Thanks for demonstration👍

[@ChuckCanada1]

Pork shoulder steaks rock. It's a common thing here in this part of Ontario. I have been cooking them on the BBQ my whole life. They are great and fast to cook.

[@brandisue5664]

30 pounds down on my 100lbs weight loss journey! I'm vlogging weekly for accountability and hope to inspire others like you do.

[@grannygoes7882]

I've not been able to get pork belly in my area but I buy pork roasts with skin on all the time. I season the skin and cook it at a high temp till it starts to bubble and then turn it down till the roast is down. Oh I slice the skin in thin strips before I do anything else and when it is done, we just pull off the skin strips and eat them. We've always called them cracklns. Never did the salt step before hand, that was new to me. Thanks!

[@GypsyTheGoatOnTube]

Just found a butcher with skin on belly but had to buy a huge piece. Shared with my son and he portioned the rest for me to seal. Going to use this method, will be my first belly to ever cook. Looking forward to it. 😊

[@patphares6258]

Great recipe… your presentation style is casual and calm. Love how you roll… ❤❤😊

[@wrylife57]

OMG that pork belly looks amazing! As soon as I can find a source for this I will cook it this way. I am watching this in Feb 2023, so two years since you posted, but wanted to say I hope you liked the pork shoulder steaks--2.50 per lb cheaper than those rib eyes and, for my money, a much better cut of pork. I have been buying them for about 20 years. The meat is tender and the fat is plentiful. :)

[@christinamargulski9680]

Thank you for this. I needed a good carnivore style recipe.

[@dianeflowers3339]

I probably shouldn't be watching, on my 4th fasting day. But that looked amazing. I can't wait to make it.

[@meanjeand57]

OMGoodness!!! I love pork belly! This is now my new favorite recipe. I still have 2 big slabs in the freezer. This is happening! My other new favorite is @thecarnitarian! OMG! I have another girl crush. Thank you for everything!

I'm doing a fast too!! LOL

Oh - me too !

[@paulaw418]

Definitely don't watch the end where they crunch into it.

Pork shoulder is also good for making schnitzel we used to do that in Germany.

[@vickimunro7545]

Making this later today..can't wait! Thanks for the recipe ☺️

[@millerfamadventuresandsports]

Looks amazing!!!

[@chuckskiles883]

Looks like my trip to our local Butcher. Go there for one item,leave with 4! It’s a candy store for carnival.

[@sereyvanny8123]

I've tried making pork belly before using another video, and i just couldn't get mine to get crunchy. I'm totally going to the store today to get pork belly and making your version today!! It looks amazing!! I LOVE pork belly, i'm so excited to try. Thanks for sharing. I've been doing keto since January. Your videos have been preparing me to do start the carnivore diet. I'm kinda scared, cuz I have a sweet tooth, but really wanna try for 30 days.

[@JenniSchaffer]

This helps SO much! Thanks for cooking videos!

We could sit and watch yall cook and eat All Day. 😁

Ooohhh! I can't wait to try this!

it's like a porchetta but without the aromatics. Looks amazing

[@dianarichardson3316]

You are glowing! So pretty and healthy looking

[@thomasdaubert1114]

Just bought some pork belly yesterday at Costco, gonna give this a go, but use Himalayan pink salt. Mortons is LOADED with dextrose (sugar), and I don't need that.

[@louferguson7048]

This turned out FABULOUS

[@WEBVDO]

Your cameraman's reaction is to die for!!!! You should make a gify outa that! LOL!!!! I can't stop laughing and crying at the same time! That pork belly must be goooooood!

[@LauraSpath]

😂😂 it is amazing!!

[@nerlyb7032]

I miss Arizona they have great food

[@FrankGreenway]

A non salt way to get the skin really crispy is poke holes in the skin, like thousands of tiny pin holes. The fat bubbles up on top and crispy fries the skin. Old Chinese secret.

[@dbopdbop]

I get my pork belly from Walmart - it comes in 1-inch-thick slices, skin on (I didn't know it came without the skin) I looked at a number of videos and found a lovely Korean lady cooking it for her dish, in the air fryer. I cook mine in the air fryer now, I salt it with the Redmonds and then stick it in the air fryer at 385 , and it's done in about 30 to 40 minutes, (sometimes sooner) I turn it a few times. I cut it in chunks after consuming half of it and eat it as lunch the next day, I actually like it cold, too. I priced pork belly at the butcher, but it's not as reasonable as Walmart. (oh, and I save the lard)

[@eileend5025]

That looks really yummy. Will have to check out local butcher shop. Thanks for the idea! I'm on day 5 and so far so good..

[@emart017]

I’m making it right now and following your recipe!

[@EatMeatandRepeat]

Just make a video every night even if dinner is the same. It motivates me!

[@anneamaro1497]

This made my mouth water big time!!!!!!!!

[@chewyz2193]

Been following you for awhile. I like the cooking videos. More of those please.

[@karlas001healthjourney6]

Your pork belly posts always make me drool 🤤🥰

[@Embracethesuckwithme]

im going to the butcher shop tomorrow and asking for a skin on pork belly and get some steaks. I have been doing keto for about two months and i dont feel so great and have stalled big time. so I am going to go carnivore and see how i feel. thank you for the inspiration.

[@vdba]

Try boiling brisket in beer with soy sauce. once the beer evaporates, it's ready. an hour and a half. unusual flavor.

[@renehernandez558]

Very expensive at the butcher shop. I suggest you go to Asian market they are much cheaper there guaranteed. Excellent recipe. I will try it .

[@mithrilwrench4027]

I found pork belly at the local asian market, planning to make it tomorrow. I started doing carnivore-ish about 2 weeks ago, easing into it bc the family hasn't joined in yet. Husband is going more for paleo style, might go carnivore if I can show him I won't die of lack of veggies and budget allows. Corned beef tonight for St Patrick's Day, not making cabbage with it tho

[@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82]

Haven't been here for a while and you're looking like a snack.

[@juliaramirez9114]

Omg. Hilarious faces when taste in the Pork🤣🤣 make this for sure. Thank you!!

[@billg4630]

Just purchased pork belly and searching recipes found yours look delish

[@cassieoz1702]

Skin-on is the standard way to buy pork belly, pork loin and other pork roasts (shoulder, leg) in Australia. Costco sells whole bellies here, both skin on and skin off although skin off is cheaper by $1 per kg. Go figure. We usually score the skin before cooking. The aim is for the skin to blister not just go hard

[@cmonkey63]

My ketones are the best after eating pork belly the night before. And the best part is, I don't need (or can't) eat too much. But I love that crackling.

[@nelsonhimiob3176]

You look amazing!!!!

[@SLEJAJA]

Thank you! I cannot wait to try this!

[@kymhocaluk5688]

i made this pork belly , so so good. thanks so much!!!

[@barbsdee3831]

One of my favourite port cut is ribeye 🥰

[@karenmiles9822]

That looks amazing!! Last time I made it a different way and it was too salty. I like the idea of taking off the salt! Who would have known??!!

[@unlimitedone2200]

Have you considered writing a book called "Carnivore Salad". I have heard you coin that phase and every time I hear I think it is badass. You seem to really have a good grasp on what you need to eat while providing variety which is important to keep a new way of eating from being boring. Just a thought, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

[@FrankGreenway]

We have a local butcher store like that and I’ve found skin on pork belly and their ribeye steaks are delicious. You’re going to pay a little more per pound, but you save not needing all those vegetables and carbs sides.

[@dsonyay]

That looks very easy and delicious. I’m going to my butcher asap. Gotta try this.

[@GypsyTheGoatOnTube]

Gonna try the belly, looks yum. Pork shoulder steak is my fave normally

[@zbawieniejestwieczne9013]

Laura I love the sound of crunch at the end of this tutorial. I must try this one. I love bacon so crunchy pig will be rather entertaining for me 🙂LOL

Hello from Greensboro NC. One week ago I switched from Keto to Carnivore. Down 30lbs on Keto but the last 20lbs I want to loose is a bit stubborn. Hope Carnivore will resolve the issue. I just found your videos and was wondering if you would dedicate a video to purely the food budget for your guys as well as tips and tricks for budget friendly meals. Thanks so much👍

[@JackyHapy]

Pork belly is just “MWAH” 🥰. My mom insist on pork belly “skin on” 🤭

[@ellenkohyeanye]

Mix the salt with egg and then only brush them on the skin so that it can be applied easily
