The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Mud Row, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
