- Initial bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with foil and place the pork belly, skin-side up, on a wire rack over the tray. Bake for 30 minutes. This helps to dry the skin further and start the cooking process.30m

Continue baking for another 30-45 minutes, or until the skin is puffed up, golden brown, and extremely crispy. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. If areas crisp faster, you can cover them loosely with foil.45mPreview45mPreviewCrisping the skin: Increase oven temperature to 220°C (425°F).

- Rest and serve: Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender meat. Slice into desired pieces and serve hot.15m
