Cooked a wee 1kg test tonight on my Weber GA (with rotisserie) following your guide... AMAZING. Took about an hour. Dried skin as you suggested for about 24 hours in fridge prior to cook.... honestly best crackling I've had. Thanks! Your vids make me a better BBQr!

Love the idea of the spiking of the crackle skin - hadn't ever thought of that - will definitely be trying this next time. Another awesome trick I learnt from Jamie Oliver for great crackling, is to slice lots of parallel cuts across the entire surface area of the crackling in both directions. It's delicious and works well

That piercing tool is awesome. Great video mate. Can’t condone using pigs that have been raised on steel grates in tin sheds though. We’re lucky in Tasmania where we have ample access to ethical raised free range so definitely not judging 🙂 Tin sheds aren’t pig farms, they’re cruel production factories. Always go a free range pork!! Great video tho dude👍

Use the wireless MEATER or a similar device to keep track of internal temps. No wires so they work well with rotisseries.

Best Rotisserie Pork vid on KZfaq! What are your thoughts on running this low n slow in the oven at say 225F for an hour or two before the Rotisserie to render the fat, then hot and fast on the rotisserie to crisp that skin?

Great site guys! Just got my cheap ‘n nasty Bunnings Mini BBQ Rotisserie, did two great legs of lamb following your instructions. Now have a small 1.5 kg pork shoulder on the spit but after smothering it with salt like you said, after 24 hours it had all disappeared? Not a sign of it to wipe off next morning! Wonder where it went to? Still doing the crackling right now so not sure how it will finish up…..🤢

If you went thru the trouble of salting the roast to draw the moisture out why would you say to dump hot water on it? Wont that just add moisture back into the roast?

@LownSlowBasics 2 жыл бұрын

It won’t really settle in, just to wash salt off, pat dry again straight away, oil and fresh salt.

Funny story our local butcher stocks WICKED bbq stuff (Brisketts, rubs the works). He told my wife she's created a monster by buying me my Akorn for my 40th hehe, Wife's been cold lately... I guess putting the BBQ on her side of the bed didn't go down well... lololololol.
