If that's what it takes for Ms. Sherry to get better... than so be it... y'all would be missed but her health is more important ...

...cut the skin in about 1.5 inch squares and render in pork skin in a heavy pot with a cup of water to keep the skins from burning when starting to cook and let them cook until you have crispy cracklins.     Pour off the grease that is left to season french fries or frying eggs, good stuff.     

Take your time with it and you'll do fine.  The skin can also be turned into "cracklins"!  Love that stuff for sure!  Just beware of the POPPING oil it creates!

Hahah you are wise sir! Quite a clean up and many singed arm hairs. I will have to figure out a way to do these outside next time. Most of the recipes I read simply used salt to dust them with so I kept it simple and sprinkled some kosher salt right as they came out of the pan. I like pork...

Being from Opelousas, Louisiana I grew up with Tasso, Boudin, Smoked Andouille, Gumbo, Cracklins, Chicken Sauce Pican, Shrimp Etoufee, etc being the staples of everyday life. Living in North Florida I don't get the chance to get back HOME much anymore. So, I've taken to making my own Sausage...

<Chuckles> You don't have to scrap but one hog to realize that cracklins taste better from bought meat......LOL I have seen a couple of boucheiers where they actually take a weed burner and fire/singe the hog.  Not just to finish it either! IMHO that would be about the best size. Too young to...

...are here!  I'll be sure to post this piggy. I agree, that a smaller pig taken from the wild is the best pork ever.  This one was a 55 pound sow.  AND in my opinion are the best flavor.  A large hog can be a bit rank.  Sadly time didn't allow me to do a proper butcher.  ... no time for cracklins  

Whats the difference between cracklins and deep fried pork puffs? cracklin is unheard of here in Canada

I have got to tell ya I have been wanting to do thise forever! I can not understand why Cracklins and Jerky are so expensive, but I am sort of worn out. Cracklins are the last item at a boucherie and everyone waits around for them. They are the more delicious little things. Well lets look at...

Fried pig skins or cracklin's? Here's a Cracklin thread I did, maybe help a little. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/189822/cracklins-by-foamheart

Worms?  Oh great.  Now I have visions of me scooching my butt around on the living room carpet! b

Finished smoking everything. Came out OK. Not as good a usual.  I let the internal temp get to 160*, mainly because I got a little distracted doing other things around the house,  so the meat does not have that nice pinkish color. Also, there's no smoke ring like usual.  However it smells...

...Cracklins Its easiest to explain it as...... the difference between puffed and crunchy Cheetos. You have to boil & clean then dehydrate the skin only to make fried pig skins. You just cut the fat, meat and skin up and fry the cracklin's. Both are great with beer and football!

...be skinned.. Only because the 3 previous hams I've done have been skin on....  save the skin for rendering lard and making pork rinds and cracklins... ...........Anatomy of front and rear legs..... The injection needle length....  If the meat is 6" thick, you will need a 2-2.5" needle to...

I haven't done a whole hog but I have made cracklins and I don't think trying to get the skin to that point while still on the meat will work. It takes a long time to render all the fat out of the skin and having the skin still on the meat will probably make that take even longer. Like Dave...

Ok. Any idea on time at 225? So if I cut some meat off, then put skin on after for cracklins. I'll be putting water pans under for grease.

Thank ye Thank ye...... Its hard to be cracklins, well maybe with fried pig skins.... but cracklins are a lot less labor intensive. Man you need to try the Pork Crackling, I was put off for a very long time expecting to have a mouth full of greasy oil. Its not at all like that. AND a side like...

...water over part and shave if it has very tough, coarse hair.  I've never tried burning the hair. If you don't get it closely shaved, the cracklins aren't that good (and as Foamheart said, that is some of the best eating). I also do not recommend removing the skin - it helps hold everything...

Awesome!...The wife goes crazy for pork cracklins...Definitely my next pork belly excursion! Thanks as always for the inspiration!

...this is what we call the crisp almost burnt rice at the bottom of the jambalaya pot. Althought if we are cooking gratons we are making cracklins. But when we make cracklins, we end up with cracklins and gratons. Cracklins on the left in the ziploc, the gratons in the paper in the bowl...
