ABSOLUTELY the MOST fun, entertaining "teaching" video I've ever, EVER watched! I've been trying to teach my husband that "Cooking isn't rocket science and you can adjust the seasonings as you wish. The only IMPORTANT phases in cooking are the prep, the temp. and the time". THANK YOU - coming from a man, he might be willing to learn more from you, in your most entertaining and engaging style, he might actually listen to you. Where can I find more of you? (Hope your wife knows how lucky she is).

Great recipe. I made it last night with vacuum sealed pork. Didn't wait for two days, instead I cut the skin in a diamon pattern, rub some salt into it and place a paper towerl to absorve the moisture. Worked like a charm and the skin was crispy and delicious. The sauce is great! Made it even better by adding two stalks of lemon grass together with the veggies.

Regarding perforation of the skin - my dad made his own tool for that. He used a piece of cardboard & pushed stout office pins (not sure you can those anymore) through it, covered the top with another layer of cardboard & bound it together with string. This porcupine pincushion worked for years.

[@rupertbelzunce8381]

Thanks for the link on the Jaccard. I was amazed on how quickly it arrived! What are the chances of piercing too deep reaching the meat below the skin? Any tips or advice?

[@thesmokerbaker]

Good question! You don't have to worry about going too deep, the raw pork skin is still tough enough to stop those blades from going past the skin. I use a fair bit of force when using it and never gone too deep. The only time with pork you need to be careful is if you boil the pork, the skin becomes super soft and the jaccard will go deep! Remember it's also a meat tenderiser so any meat that your marinate you can jaccard before marinating. Enjoy my friend👍

lets see what he has to say as the last method didnt work

does it have top be the grill not the gas oven?whats the diff? and what if you have a modern oven thats sucks donkey balls ands is really shit at cooking well and only cooks way milder then a normal oven what then? but i have just brought one so i will try it this way.i have a onion chopper with a ziggy zag blade(sharp as fuck) would this doo or is it more a scoring thing

Let me tell you boil the pork belly, it helps draw out the liquid because it will help it pre shrink. Also much easier to poke holes, and when add vinegar it absorb and make skin softer.

Very good Mate! I would like to ask if I will be able to get that crispness on the skin with a normal Oven instead set on grill mode? Thanks a lot

[@thesmokerbaker]

Obviously, it's not my preference, but yes, you can do it without the grill setting. This is what I would do; In the last stage of the cook, wipe off the salt, brush vinegar on the skin, i would then make a new foil boat for the pork belly and put it in the oven at maximum temp for 30min or until golden and crispy. The new foil boat will keep the meat juicy and protect it from burning. Depending on how good your oven is, it could take anywhere between 30 to 45min to achieve that crispy skin. If you try it, let me know how you go👍
