Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7.
- Before cooking, dry the outside of the Pork with kitchen paper, brush oil and sprinkle salt very liberty over the rind.
- Place the meat into roasting tin or tray and cook for 30 minutes (initial crisp) then reduce the heat to 190ºC and cook for the remaining time.
- Remove from the oven and put in a warm place and allow to rest for 15 mins.
- To carve we recommend you remove the crackling then carve the joint into slices (makes getting the size slices you want easier)
