Don't ditch your lovely kitchen for a studio! This is definitely more authentic

1.) "bake" setting at 410 F for 20 minutes. 2.) "Grill" setting at "high" for 10 minutes 3.) Rest for 10 minutes.

If you have just a regular airfryer without any funtcions, it works aswell. Its pretty much the same steps but the times and temps are different. For the first part set the airfryer to 100°C for 30 mins, remove the salt after that. And then the next round 200°C for 40 mins. Its from another recipe I found on youtube. You surely can optimize it in some way but I find it the easiest way to go. For this recipe there is no overtime in the fridge needed.

Thanks Vincenzo!

This is beautiful, and I literally just bought an air fryer (the same one in fact, or at least I think so), so I’ll be trying this out. Many thanks!

Air Fryers and Pork belly are a match made in heaven. I even buy cheap sliced pork belly from the Coop and it still comes out mega.

i tried this today after doing the pre cooking instructions and it works and tastes great. Thank you for sharing this Chef! cheers!

This is awesome, am getting an air fryer soon so will definitely be giving this a go!! I normally do pork belly on my smoker, and when I add the salt to the skin I mix the salt into a paste with egg white. Then it comes off in one big lump.

Thanks for sharing Liz. Love your videos, full of great recipes and advice. 😊

I have a smaller Ninja and I love for all kinds of cooking. A great invention.

I never in my life would have ever imagined one could make a crispy pork so easily with so little prep time. Thank you for doing the leg work on the R&D so we don't have to. I definitely wanna try this!!

Crispy pork is the standard Danish pork roast and I make it several times a year. The prep time is trivial - what takes time is the cooking. I get the best result with about 2h in the owen - first 15 minutes skin down in a pan wit boiling water at 160C, then a long time at 160C on a grating above the water in the pan and finally a short time at max temperature and grill on with the owen door slightly ajar and no water in the pan to make the skin crispy while you watch to make sure it doesnt get darker than you desire (it can easily burn). The only prep needed is to season the roast. Here in Denmark the skin can be expected to be prepared by having the hair removed, scraped and cut in stripes when you buy it - I think its a luzy butcher who does not do that.

This looks absolutely amazing

The 2-drawer Ninja air fryers are particularly great for this as their dimensions are pretty similar to a slice of pork belly you most often see in supermarkets that feed 3-4 people. Roast potatoes in drawer 2, both take about half an hour, perfect timing.

I make my crispy pork exactly like this for about 7 years when I bougth my first airfryer. Amazing. Love your channel, I`v dreaming about visit your restaurant.

I've seen a video on pork belly using the foil boat to salt the meat, but not using an air fryer. This is incredible! Thanks so much, Auntie Liz! I hope Uncle Roger comments on your video.

amazing looking-we will try this. We source good pork belly and have made our own bacon for years but this looks oh so good we have to try it!

Wow, Haigh's demonstration of making pork belly in the airfryer is incredibly helpful and inspiring! I love how she breaks down the process step by step, making it easy for anyone to follow along and recreate this delicious dish at home. The pork belly turns out perfectly crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. This is definitely a must-try recipe for all pork lovers out there!

Auntie Liz…& Crispy Pork…A winning combination.

Worked perfect for me. But i used a regular belly, so i needed 45min at "bake" and just additional 5min at "grill". There i burned a bit of the skin, cause i positioned it too close to the top... 😅 But the result was awesome. A extreamly crunchy skin, wich feels soft while biting at the same time. The best and easiest recipe i tried so far. 👍😀😋

Great video Elizabeth. Crispy pork belly is something one could wake up in the middle of the night for. Those finger limes are incredible, especially for in a restaurant. Have you tried the other colours, they tend to have a slightly different taste aswell as compliment different colour schemes. Mix them all up to garnish a steak tartar or a ceviche dish. As for chopping the pork belly, go meat side first and crispy side last to save your edge on the knife a bit better. A hefty cleaver works best for myself. If you can get your hands on the smoked maldon you'll be spoiled for life as far as salts go. It is so good, you should never leave it unattended at the pass.. Haha😂 Thnx for sharing this video Elizabeth.

😋 Thanks for great video! Am inspired now!

Awesome channel, deserves a lot more subscribers!! Got a question though, I have a cheapo air fryer with just temperature and time. What temps should I set it for the "Bake" and "Grill" and any change in times?

95% of us are going to be using average quality pork belly we find at the local market. this recipe is for high quality pork as she stated in the video; like a Berkshire, Duroc pork, breeds that are naturally more tender. for your average pork, the skin and meat won't tenderize that quickly under an hour. if you're having the problem where the skin is crispy, but hard and tacky to chew, poach your your pork belly for an hour or so before Liz's refrigeration step.

I may have said before but one day my pal and i were in our local Chinese takeaway and we have a great community and relationship with the owners. Off the menu, we were brought out some crispy pork belly by "Steph" (anglicised name she refers to) that "Dave" had prepared as a family treat but he wasn't happy with it due to the moisture content in the air. If that was B-game, A-Game must be off the charts! Definitely going to try this! I need to find one of those skin prickers online!

I have a Korean market near my house that makes this. Not quite as crispy, but so good.

I didn't dry mine in the fridge but pat dry only. 220 for 30 min then 10-15min at 400. Perfection. Saves a day or two of prep. All other instructions were the same.

I loved the video. Greetings from brazil. Here we have a recipe kinda similar to this, although we fry the pork belly. We call it "toucinho" or "torresmo". And I do the same think to crisp the skin. Is great. If you don't knew, you should try it.

@@gfer66 probably, after all we've been colonized by them. I guess the people back there addapeted the recipe to local preferences. Torresmo is often served with "jeijoada" and in portugal they have a similar dish with beans and pork, that also give birth to feijoada. But in this case they are different dishes. With the apain's torezno they often do with pancetta from a specific region of spain and serve the belly with a different slice from here, here we season, but don't dehydratad or cure the pork belly before fry. We only do de dehydratation of the skin.

finger limes are native to australia. amazing on oysters

I don't see the link to the actual recipe in writing, but I will find it. I have a Ninja 9 in 1 with Air Fryer setting, I love the pressure cooking and air fryer functions the best. I just did a nice pork roast with skin that I got from a local farm, it was great. But I wasn't sure if I should do it in my Ninja! Usually I pressure cook my meat, such as chicken and then air fry, but was pretty sure it might mess up my lovely pork crackling, so sadly I did in the oven. BUT it did come out pretty good. I have the other half of the roast in the freezer and cannot wait to try using your directions!! Never would have thought of the vinegar, I did put salt on and did put back in the fridge, but also not over night, so again cannot wait to try this. Also we used to live not that far from Eymet but have recently moved to the N. Dordogne as that is where we finally found our dream home. I'm off to watch more videos!

Made this before (without the vinegar, I used the salt in the fridge drying process to create the crust). When cutting, I use a cleaver; or just turn it skin-side down. Hi from Melbourne, AUS.

I have a ninja air fryer, there is a dehydrator mode where I can set to dry the skin than to wait overnight in fridge. Some people do a roast setting and set at lower temps. The last 5 minutes they set it high and brush oil on the skin.

@Sparkle.Dammit

7 ай бұрын

That's so clever! I forgot I had the dehydrator setting 🤣

We have found that making the skin level gives the best even results with the foil boat edges just below the level of the skin by afew mm. To level the belly we use round slices of onion underneath the flesh side works well and gives you tasty confit onion as a bonus, you could use batons of spring onion whites as well for leveling. You can use balled up foil to level the joint if you dislike or do not wish the flavour of onions. When adding the salt to the skin i use a bench scrapper blade to stop to much salt falling between the edge of the skin and foil boat, using just regular table salt works fine rather than the pricey sea salt. Again using the bench scrapper pressed edge on just under the skin when you remove the salt layer helps stop the salt falling into the foil boat. To season the scored flesh underneath we use 1% salt by the wieght of the belly pork, IE 8g for a 800g joint from asda, we use to use 1.5% salt but we now replace 0.5% with MSG. 1 teaspoon of 5 spice, 1 teaspoon of pepper [black/white/mixed blend whatever you like], 1 teaspoon dried garlic granules. Spread the seasoning evenly in the cuts and over the bottom of the cubes. We then spray on some rice wine and toasted seasame oil with spray bottles, not to much of ethier, enough to flavour without masking the pork flavour and for the aroma. Leave the joint to rest in the foil boat so it can re-absorb any juices rather than let it all run off all over the board, do not foil tent the joint while resting as this can soften abit the crispy skin by absorbing the steam. The remaining rendered fat and juices are excellent for making fried rice to serve with the porkbelly or later, if you have used onions to level the meat a quick chop and toss them in the rice. Thank you for the recipe video, take care, God bless one and all.

Thank you for testing out some air fryer recipes!

Hello Auntie Elizabeth ! Am I wrong or are you using the top contraption to grill or what ? It looked so good I had to buy me the darned thing 😋

Liz's videos always underline that the attention to little details like using the torch to "clean off" the pork skin is so vital in making what seems like a relatively simple dish turn out perfectly. With that said, as much as she's trying to make these accessible for the rest of us, the casual skill in how she does things like chop veggies and scores the pork reminds me of how wide the gap sometimes feels between a professional like her and us home chefs.

Torching pork always makes me cringe. When it comes to removing the hair, it's probably the easiest way to ruin the skin. A few seconds too long and it'll make the skin chewy, no matter how good of a job you do cooking it. Any decent kitchen knife, especially one that belongs to a chef, should be sharp enough to shave the hairs off with a few passes.

Hello Elizabeth! What material is your cutting board made from? Thanks for the reply!

You don't need to do any fridge overnight. And you don't need to pierce the skin beforehand. Put it in the airfryer in it's foil box for 30 minutes at 120C. Take it out, use the piercer thingy, but more carefully. And don't overdo it. Sprinkle a bit of salt on. Back into the airfryer for another 15 to 20 minutes at 120C Bump up the airfryer to 200C, for 20 to 30 minutes. That's all you need for crispy skin, no 24 hours in the fridge or any of that rubbish I just did it this weekend, and it was fantastic!
