    Crackling?

    MIL and I are making roast pork for tea, and I'd like to try and get some crackling out of it too (yum!). I've never done it before, and MIL isn't quite sure how to go about it either.

    So, how do I do it???

    you need to score the skin and rub heaps of salt in and let the salt draw out the moisture for a few hours

    then you can pan fry it before putting it in the oven.
