Great pork crackling starts with dry pork skin and scoring. For best results, remove pork from packaging
a few hours before roasting, pat dry, score skin (if not already scored) and rub the skin with salt. You can
do this multiple times, patting away moisture that forms on the skin.
The next secret to perfect pork crackling on your SPIRIT EX is to cook at very high temperatures at the start
to blister and bubble the skin, then finish cooking the pork through at normal roasting temperatures.
Preheating for pork crackling:
Whenever you use your SPIRIT EX for roasting,
it's important to preheat the barbecue first with
the lid closed. To achieve the best results, your
barbecue should be hot prior to placing your food
inside.
To preheat your SPIRIT EX for roasting pork
crackle:
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
OFF position and check with the supplied tank
scale that there is sufficient gas in your bottle
(for LPG models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light all 3 main burners on HIGH according to
the instructions in the owner's guide.
5. Turn burner 2 to LOW and close the lid.
Preheat the barbecue with burners 1 and 3 on
HIGH and burner 2 on LOW for 15 minutes.
Cooking pork crackling:
1. After preheating for 15 minutes your barbecue
is ready to cook. Turn burner 2 OFF and leave
burners 1 and 3 on HIGH.
2. Open the lid, brush the cooking grills clean
with a wire brush and place your pork directly
on the grill above the burner 2.
3. After 20 minutes, turn burners 1 and 3 to ONE
NOTCH GREATER THAN MEDIUM (MEDIUM +1)
which is the roasting setting (pictured).
4. Cook for the remaining estimated cooking
time.
