Tips:

  • For a crispier crackling, score the pork skin deeply and rub it with salt. This will help the skin to blister and crackle during roasting.
  • To ensure the pork is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork is cooked by piercing it with a skewer. If the juices run clear, the pork is cooked.
  • Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  • Serve the roast pork with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or stuffing.
