Crispy pork belly - Reheat method

Reheat overnight crispy pork belly

  • Crispy roasted pork belly will never be crispy if u put in fridge overnight & it won’t be nice anymore. That's a myth. 
  • In fact, you can reheat & restore the crispy & crackly pork belly skin texture.
  • Crispiness can be restored for 100% chewy & gummy pork belly that has put in fridge for few days.
  • Salt in pork belly recipe is to dehydrate the skin. The skin will only be crispy when there’s no moisture . If there’s moisture inside , of course you’re getting gummy & chewy jelly like texture.
  • Normal pan doesn’t provide uniform heating like enclosed built in oven with ventilation fan & provide gradual temperature change. It will not restore the creepiness of pork skin. 
Procedure:
  1. Placed the pork belly with skin facing up in built in grill oven.
  2. Roast with uniform heating fan cooking setting, 15 mins 180C , 15mins 240C (similar temperature as pork belly recipe).  Timing may varies due to the shape & size of pork belly. This setting is for two pcs of roasted pork belly ( ~35cm x 7cm x ~ 3cm ). 
  3. All excess moisture & oil leaked out. The whole layer of pork belly skin becomes super crispy & crackly. Simulating the same preparation process can restore the condition. 

**Recipe may improvised to 2 serving with whatever ingredients available & depends on our preferences.
