Have a pork crackling loin joint (no bone) for Sunday tea. Not my usual choice of roast dinner and has been a long time since I cooked pork that was not sausage shaped.
It is 0.935kg to feed 4 people which is a bit tight I think. Just over 2 pounds of pork so according to Delia it should be cooked as follows:
25 minutes on gas mark 9
70 minutes on gas mark 5
30 minutes resting time before carving
I was planning to score it well, rub rock salt all over and roast on a bed of root vegetable. Is there anything I am missing? Any tips for getting the crackling right?

Place the pork on a high shelf in the oven and roast it for 25 minutes. Turn the heat down to 190C/375F/Gas 5, and calculate the total cooking time allowing 35 minutes to the pound.
