Does anyone have any tips for making pork crackling? I will be cooking up a pork roast this week and although I have cooked them before I can never get the crackling just right.

Any suggestions??

Well I made a pork roast for Christmas and the crackling came out perfectly. I found a recipe in a Delia Smith book. Basically it goes like this:

Score the skin deeply (ask your butcher to do this if you can). Dry the skin thoroughly (use paper towels) and when you are ready to put the pork in the oven sprinkle the skin generously with salt to give it a thin coating but only at the last minute as the salt draws out the moisture. On no account put any fat near the crackling.

That was my problem, I had always poured oil over the crackling part.
