  1. เราก็ชอบกินหมูกรอบเหมือนกัน กระเพราหมูกรอบ หรือผัดคะน้าหมูกรอบ กินกับส้มตำก็อร่อยค่ะ I'm from Thailand 😅

  2. nope simmer in salt water fat side down after smoking, then wrap in foil boat fat exposed, salt then bake220c for 20-40 mins.
    Bubbly and light crackling not a hard thin layer of crackling

  3. My method is to sous vide longer at a lower temp with no seasonings. It tasted odd if I seasoned during the sous vide phase. Once out, dry and scrape the skin slightly. Poke many holes (100s) in the skin being careful not to pierce through to the meat layers, this will make a very light and bubbly skin. Dry in the fridge for a couple of days and I do find brushing on vinegar/lemon juice occasionally does result in a nice dryness to the skin.

    I then season the meat, add a layer of salt on the skin and cook low for about an hour, this firms the meat up slightly, dries the skin even further and renders more fat out esp if it is a very fatty piece. After this I brush the salt off and it should layer off easily with no sticking to the skin and place under a grill until all the skin is bubbled up. Leave for a while before cutting as I find it is best eaten warm and the juices will be well distributed within the meat.

    What I am left is a uniformly bubbled, salty, crispy light skin with no chewiness at all. The fat will be very soft (think Chinese braised belly pork dishes) but the moist, seasoned meat will still have some texture to it. Took many years to perfect this to my taste but you do need to practice on the same or similar breed of pig as some pork can yield different results.

  4. Sorry Pitmaster X,
    Maar ik heb al veel betere resultaten bereikt met azijn en/of zout. Het "poppen" is in jou geval niet overal gelijk, en dat is nu net hetgeen wat men van een porkbelly verwacht dacht ik. No hard feelings, ik blijf nog steeds een trouwe fan !
