    My First Roast

    SWMBO(the cook) has gone away for a week so I am baching it. As the title says, first roast, this is not entirely correct. I have cooked many a roast lamb before but never a pork. I have been a bit unsure as to how to get it perfect. Cooking it is easy, getting the crackle right is the hard part.

    Anyhow SWMBO is not keen on pork so I rarely get it. Being on my own I thought I would have a crack, and as pork is reasonably priced compared to lamb I had little to lose. Here is the result.



    Dave.

    Looks alright.


    In fact looks bloody nice. Well done. Looks like you got the crackling right; that's where I often fail with Pork.

    It was perfect. I googled how to do it and there are a lot of different ways suggested so I took a bit from a few different sites.

    Strange as it may sound, I started by tipping a whole jug of boiling water over it.

    That's the way to do it! Then rub a little bit of oil into into whilst still hot, and a sprinkle of salt.

    Had a good chunk of roast pig last night. Delicious!

    Yep, either do the boiling water bit, or just use oil and plenty on salt, bung it in a hot oven - 220C for 20 minutes, then turn the oven back to 170C and finish cooking it.

    Yours looks very good Dave, i'm feeling a bit peckish now...

    WELL DONE

    My cook is real good with roasts and I just showed her your pic and she said it looks blood good to her and I must agree you will have to do another one before she gets home.

    RDO tomorrow. Think I know what I'll be doing in the arvo

    I would normally accompany this with Apple sauce, peas, spuds gravy carrorts.

    Ok experts, what would you normally serve to accompany this?
    Also, any tips on making gravy - I usually weaken and grab the gravox. (Should I just listen to that Paul Kelly song)
