Haha I’m useless with Crispy pork belly and have failed more times than I can count, so would’ve been disappointed if it failed but wouldn’t have said much.

I did put it in on 200 for another 5min at the end coz wasn’t quite crisping up, but yeah.. I’m stoked haha!

My first crack - a little overcooked but it was still very good

the positive it was edible and there is room for improvement to tweak your method according to how your air fryer cooks.

Don’t you lads marinate your pork belly?

I rubbed some 5 spice on the bottom and stuck a few cloves of garlic in the sides (read it online, sounded good) - added enough flavour for me.

Yeah that’s about my extent of flavouring.

I try and keep my quality meats fairly simple. Only meats I try a few things flavour wise are lamb shoulder and ribs.

Last post got me thinking

Anyone who is looking to start long slow cooking I highly recommend starting with lamb shoulder.

It’s pretty much bulletproof from a cooking perspective. It’s also great for playing with different flavours and cooking methods.

All this talk of air fryers and pork belly has got me interested.... bit of research needed I think. Where do I get an Air Fryer from?

Love a lamb shoulder, especially when the bone just slides out....

Yeah I normally go a 8 hour cook on the Weber. Roughly around 120 degrees.

Combination of garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper rub. Occasionally add an apple woodchip or cook with an apple juice tray underneath.

Once done the bone just slides straight out with a perfect bark on the edges.

@whufc

Charcoal or heat beads for 8 hours and are you adding new coal/beads every hour or so or using "snake" method i think its called.

I use heat beads for the ease as I can grab them from woolies.

With my Weber I only need to add some more beads once during the cook. I normally just chuck them all in one side and cook indirectly. I’ve tried the snake method but to be honest haven’t had a lot of success but haven’t looked into it properly.

Highly recommend having a drop tray on the opposite side to the beads. This will keep a perfect level of moisture and stop the cook going to dry. I love to play around with flavours in the drop tray but usually fill it half way up with apple juice. The smell is perfect.

Best purchase I’ve ever made is a bead chimney, makes heating up the beads so bloody easy and costs about $20-$40 to purchase.

Cheers - i use charcoal in all my cooking contraptions but struggle to keep them hot for more than 2 hrs so have to top up by adding more.
Drop tray sounds interesting, will give that a go for sure.

If you dont like the crusty hard bit of meat on the bottom, simply leave the black shit from the packaging under your belly.
