This is why I'm liking the air fryer suggestion on the previous page, could halve the energy usage.
Not that I am going to put pork fat in the air fryer that I share with my OH who doesn't eat meat though
I still wouldn’t say I can do it every time, and am now looking back at spitfire ’s photos which look and sound so gorgeous
But I think I’ve identified what I want: Crispy, rather than Crunchy crackling. I’ve broken two teeth on crackling, one of which I cooked myself.
The other week I made a very slow cooked joint, wrapped in foil over a trivet of veg and liquid. Th skin/ rind was all flubbery and I had to take it off carefully with a sharp knife and two spatulas, finally got it into a hot oven and it ended up being the best crackling I’ve ever had
What I learned from this was (and it makes sense to me) crackliing up a piece of rind that is so strong you need to find a Stanley knife to score it properly is one thing
Crackling up a flubbery piece of soft skin is another

I got some ribs for the bbq on Friday and cooked them last night. Very nice but I digress.
The butcher took the skin off for me and was about to throw it in the bin but I wasn’t having that so have some skin in the fridge that just needs to be cooked one way or the other.
