Porchetta without crispy crackling skin is NOT Porchetta

Raises the question. Begging the question Is a logical fallacy wherein you assume the correctness of your premise.
6 lbs.? more like half of that.

tie fat side up with butcher string
season fat cap with
1 tbl kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp baking soda

raise oven to 500 degrees drain liquid from roast pan remove twine from butt

so so so. new drinking game: watch your faves and take a shot every time the presenter says "so" to begin a sentemce. "like" is so yesterday
No wine?
Where's the crackling?
I do! I do!!
Woof woof!
I think these are the most honest evaluations of any Cooking Channel thank you guys. Made me feel good that most the stuff that you analyzed I already on the same brands
Erin's voice is so soothing.
0k , Bridget , the click bait is pissing ME OFF ! . That strawberry blond hair , dare I say … RED , that shows up on your shots with Julia , is YOU ! Red hair , maroon blouse , attitude ! HELL YEAH ! School me gurl !
Jack and Julia are just too cute together.
we have actually roasted whole pigs and whole lamb in our back yard (indirect heat) spit .. my father used apple cider and a ton of garlic to season the pig…. wonderful!!! and i miss those days!!! not sure how i feel about fennel on the pork
I’ve made this for my last two Christmas dinners and think it is an amazing “…version of porchetta that you and I can make at home…” Great video and recipe! I just follow it as precisely as so can and it comes out perfect!
I made exact Porchetta recipe and it was Amazing family loved it. This recipe earned itself a spot for my Christmas dinner for something different.
I LOVE Dan's videos – he's all business, full of facts, and not a giggling goof, like "some"!
Porchetta is made with pork belly. The other way to cook it is if you cook the entire pig on a spit. But porchetta is made with pork belly
Funny how Erin backed off with Julia came to close invading her personal space. BTHO.
Sorry, that’s not porchetta. It’s a roast. They’re different things.
ATK is so funny with their meat mannequins: that cow they shove out us SO large but at least it's ground-level. But that li'l pink pig on the counter is insane! When I was in grad school in Louisiana I saw a pig club that weighed +600 lbs. Frightening. It definitely NOT Charlotte's Web like ATK counter pig😅
ATK should do episodes with 3 components: appetizer, entree and dessert. This would make shows complete and well-rounded😃
For the Italians this is roast pork, the porchetta is at another level of cuisine (which you obviously…you don't know)
Looks good but that's not porchetta
