[@LownSlowBasics]

I’ll see what I can do 🤘

That would be awesome!

I have Never seen such a successful method, who is easy and fast! I will try it! Thanks Aaron 👍, greetings Bernd

[@frankeeshackcloth1017]

Pulling a pork belly out the freezer for the weekend, definitely trying this method 👌

[@jacobpaniagua9691]

Thanks. You made it look so simple, Im going to store now to buy a small pork belly and use your directions for cooking it.

lol so many mistakes …. Typically Aussie cooking pork belly crackling all wrong lol I garuantee that crackling isn’t that crispy lol

Dude you didnt give us close up after you cut it. What gives LOL. Gonna do this on xmas when my entire family meets up.

[@victorbitter583]

Looked awesome Aaron. I will try this method soon. I bought a 1.5kg chunk of A5 scotch fillet last week I used the Dalstrong to cut it into 3 steaks. They were perfectly parallel and it went through so easy. I could never cut steaks like that with the ole filleting knife lol. thanks a million brother. cheers.

Most welcome mate! 🙏

Epic looking pork belly mate. I really need to get back into my bbqing again. Thank you for all you do mate

[@Brawl_Rafi31]

How can I do it on a gas grill

[@LownSlowBasics]

Hot and fast, tray down, cake rack, then pork to stop bottom burning.

[@richarddaley6403]

Is that chimichurri mix available in the US? Either way, I need to try the pork belly

[@LownSlowBasics]

I don’t think so. You’ll have to reach out to BRZ foods.

@@LownSlowBasics thank you

[@richarddaley6403]

@@LownSlowBasics looked at the website and it can be shipped to the states so I'm going to have to try it

[@djwylde1]

Is the goal to try and keep that temp around 500 the whole cook?

[@joeparas]

I cooked a pork loin in a similar way the other week, in a similar amount of time (dried out for 2 days for crackling though). The crackling was perfect, but the fat was like rubber and made it inedible. The recipe said to cook it until 62 internal. Reckon if I'd cooked it until 92 the fat would have all rendered?

[@LownSlowBasics]

The meat on a pork loin will dry out cooking to 92. It may have just been a quality issue with that bit of pork?

[@joeparas]

@@LownSlowBasics just a cut i bought at Coles on a whim. He meat and skin were great, just the layer of fat under the skin was too rubbery

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

I’ve said it b4 you are the crackling master mate

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers legend

[@xantiaexclusive]

Loving your channel, as I use a kamado, I’m wondering whether it’d be best to cook pork belly skin side down for the first part of the cook to take the heat rising via the deflector then flip it over and place in a tray etc.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Hey mate. If you are using a kamado, no need. They are awesome for pork belly as they hold so much heat and can get nice n hot.

[@xantiaexclusive]

@@LownSlowBasics Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated 👍🏻

Put a tray under thr pork belly - save all those beautiful juices to make gravy.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Love it 🙏

[@pdjhh]

If I buy one of those jackard things are there any other uses for it in cooking? Nice eyebrows btw.

[@LownSlowBasics]

You can use it as a steak tenderiser too. If you are steady handed enough like me you can also brush your eyebrow hair with it too.

[@gregduncan342]

Awesome man. Given how good these results are, why would you take the 2 day approach? PS. I ordered the needle thing and your rubs. Can’t wait to try them!!

[@LownSlowBasics]

It’s just all down to personal preference 🙏

[@jyeatkinson4789]

Thanks for the video! I picked up a pork belly yesterday to try out your other method for the Weber kettle. But this video just popped up so I might try this one instead. A question... Will I get better crackling if I leave the pork belly in the fridge uncovered for a day or 2 or is there no need when using this method?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Honestly no need but as always it comes down to personal preference

[@ashleymeddings2317]

Another great video, I love cooking pork as it’s always seems to be easy to get and cheaper, interesting method I will try it for sure! Cheers

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks heaps Ashley! Yeah it's definitely not sky rocketed like the price of beef!

[@markhiggins3054]

I’m getting started in kettle cooking. I do heaps of charcoal spits and bbq with my g-spit. Wondering on your preference - Weber, slow and sear or the Oklahoma joe. Looking to do some smoking as well. Also what accessories would you recommend. Many thanks mark

[@LownSlowBasics]

Hey mate. I’d start with a Weber. Check our Weber accessories video out.

When you put the pork in at the beginning, do you leave the bottom air vent open or closed?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Open

[@IsmaelVaudreuil-u2z]

[@shanejorgensen5507]

do you leave the temp up the whole time or after the pork crackle is done do you let the temp drop a bit?

[@LownSlowBasics]

It naturally drops a touch after a while but high all the way is fine

[@jonskytta]

I think I might have missed it but at what temp are you running the grill on? How long was the cooking? Just wondering as I have a 2,1 kg I am going to be trying on the grill…

[@masondegaulle5731]

Well I know what I'm doing this afternoon... Let you know how I go 👍

[@masondegaulle5731]

@@LownSlowBasics Had to improvise because the missus' mother "borrowed" her hairdryer a couple years ago and she's never bothered to get another, used the grill to try and dry it, tried to keep the temp down but might have got just a little too hot. Still turned out amazing but the cracking was only 50/50 between hard crunch and soft crunch. Didn't want to use a heat gun because they throw a fair bit of carbon dust, guess I'll have to buy myself a hair dryer and go again! Used apple and a bit of mesquite in the smoke, beautiful flavours, super juicy. 👌

[@bullywag]

Nice one. Any chance of doing another brisket point vid? I have been smoking a few but never seem to get the bark right. It either has bark and is on the dry side, or no bark but nice and juicy.

[@LownSlowBasics]

I’ll see what I can do mate

[@masondegaulle5731]

You give it a good spritz now and then to keep it moist? Spritzing helps the surface fats to emulsify and 'cook off' to give a nice rich dark bark. Do you run a waterpan? Both those will help a lot to keep it from drying out and promote a good rich bark. Don't overdo the rub either, that can mess it up, and be careful with your heat, nice and slow. Give it plenty of time between spritzes to give the fats time to cook off, then spritz to moisturise and draw more fatty goodness bubbling to the surface.

[@bullywag]

@@masondegaulle5731 thanks for the advice. I don't use a waterpan but do spritz. I'll give that a shot.

[@gavbarker8689]

Please don't use expensive flakey salt before cooking, use it when serving the food, season with fine sea salt.

[@lineseeking]

I could not get the fat to be crispy- wonder if it wasn't dry enough after the boiling water...

[@tuskthemac913]

Gave up cooking with charcoal, as the charcoal works out more expensive to buy than the food.

[@jonflores9044]

So what do you use??
