Easy Cajun Crackling

Add 1-2 inches of cooking oil to large Black Pot.

Get temperature up to 200 degrees and add 5 pounds of pork bellies cut into 1 inch squares.

Maintain a 200 degrees temp. and stir pot constantly to prevent meat from sticking.

As the oil is being rendered you will notice the temp. climbing. Eventually the sticking will cease and you won't have to stir it as often.

As the oil temp reaches 310 degrees
(after about 1-1/2 hours), the skins will start to develope little white blisters. cook about 10 minutes more and remove them from the pot.
Let the cracklins cool down in the refrigerator for a couple of hours , after  cooled they are ready to be popped.

.Heat the oil to 380-400 degrees then add the crackins back into hot oil. Let them pop a few minutes,  then you are done

Question...the aluminum oval pot that you used in other videos. What size is it sir? I ordered an 18" one and it is way too big so I'm going to exchange it.
