Cooking belly slices - overly long cooking time?

I have these maple syrup belly slices and the cooking instructions says 1hr 30 minutes on 180 degrees.

Surely that is too long for them and they will be dry and tough?

Any advice please :smile:

Turn the oven off and back on again?

Loads of fat on them, they will not dry out. I'd actually suggest a lower temp and even longer cooking time for the best results with Pork Belly.

This. I did some pork belly a couple of weeks ago and cooked it for 4 hours. Was fabulous.

Does anyone here make their own pork scratchings?

Shop/pub ones tend to be expensive for what they are.


I get pigskin from Morrisons in St. James St and do my own in a halogen oven.

Cover the fat in salt and grill for ten mins to have perfect pork scratchings!
