Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. On a winter shoot near Chackmore, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
