Tips

  • Tips for Buying: It is best to buy a piece of skin-on pork loin with the belly attached from the butcher. Avoid buying vacuum sealed pork, which has been packed in plastic, as it is much harder to crackle.
  • Scoring a pre-rolled (trussed) roast: If the butcher hasn’t already scored the skin; Score the skin at 1cm intervals around the roast, being careful not to cut the twine.
  • Scoring a piece of pork loin and belly (not yet rolled/trussed): If the butcher hasn’t already scored the skin; score the skin at 1cm intervals along the length of the roast. If needed, remove a section of the rind from above the loin meat. This is done because if you roll the belly around the loin and there is rind wrapped up inside the roast, this will be rubbery when you serve it.
  • Trussing: tightly roll the roast, and truss with butcher’s twine.
  • If the pork has cooked but the rind hasn’t crackled, remove the rind and return the rind to the barbecue and roast over indirect medium heat (190°C to 230°C) for 15 minutes to crackle whilst the pork roast is resting.
