how do you keep porchetta crispy

Rich, succulent pork seasoned with aromatic spices and herbs — what more can you ask for? Oh yeah, crispy skin. It’s got that, too. Porchetta has it all, including a long-storied past, weaving its way from the old world to the new, with many evolutions in preparation along the way.

Of the many interpretations of this Italian standard, this all-belly version is our favorite. It’s easy, only calls for one cut of meat (and doesn’t involve deboning an entire baby pig.)

Instead of shopping for all of the individual spices and herbs involved in this pork centerpiece, pick up a bottle of The Usual All-Purpose Blend. This seasoning has everything you need, including salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, lemon and cayenne. Just add some fresh sage and fennel fronds to make nonna think you actually put some effort in star

If you are at the correct internal temperature but the skin isn’t quite crisp enough, broil the skin for 6-8 minutes until it puffs up, watching carefully to ensure it doesn’t burn. Rest the pork belly for at least 15 minutes prior to serving, then carve into individual portions.

FAQ

How do you keep pork crackling crispy?

For the crackling to stay crispy, you must NOT wrap it in plastic. Plastic will trap any residual moisture and will make the crackling soft and chewy the next day. You must store the crackling at room temperature and in a dry location. Perhaps wrap it in food-safe paper and store in a brown lunch bag.

How do you store crispy pork belly?

You can choose to store it in a fridge or to store your crackling in a freezer for an even longer period. But, you’d need to keep the crackling in an airtight or a tight cling film which helps prevent damage and spoils from your crackling.

Why is my porchetta skin hard?

The heat at which you cook pork cracklins can also cause them to become hard. If the temperature is not high enough, the skin won’t crack properly, resulting in a rubbery texture. Make sure to cook pork skin in oil that has a smoke point of 400 degrees.
