Hi Lindsey
I'm cooking roast pork for friends over the bank holiday weekend and wanted to ask the best way of achieving crispy crackling?

Hello Sweetpea,

Delia explains how to get a good crackling in her recipe for Classic Roast Pork.

Delia says… buy the pork a couple of days before you need to cook it, remove any plastic wrap, put it on a plate immediately and dry it as thoroughly as possible with absorbent kitchen paper. After that, leave it uncovered in the lowest part of the fridge so that the skin can become as dry as possible before you start the cooking.

Best wishes

Lindsey
