    We cook it on the BBQ as its way better and the crackle is amazing. Always rest the pork for a little while before cooking as this allows for drying time (as the pork will sweat slightly especially if salted and if you dry it this ensures a crispier crackle). We have either potatoes cooked in goose or duck fat, or I'll do crispy rosemary & garlic potatoes in the fry pan. If I'm being extra decadent I'll make potato rosti's and serve with mushroom cream sauce.

    *drooooooool* We lurve our roast pork in this house!!

    The girls have pretty much described how I do it. I slice the top, rub virgin olive oil & salt into it (to make yummy crackling!)
    With the vegies I peel & cut them up then cover them in virgin olive oil & all purpose seasoning.
    If the crackling isn't crackly enough when its cooked we cut it off the top, put it on a baking tray & stick it back in the oven on a higher temp to get it up to DH's liking LOL

    I cook it on about 180 degrees in a fan forced oven.

    Vegies I cook with it...
    lots of roast pumpkin & potatoes
    roast carrot
    peas & corn
    roast capsican (red & green)

    We also make gravy from the juices in the tray & have apple sauce (out of a jar LOL)

    Enjoy your roast, yum yum!
