• Pat the pork skin dry before scoring to ensure a crispy crackling.
• If the crackling is not crispy enough, you can place it under the broiler for a few minutes.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the desired internal temperature.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover roast pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pork in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
• Serve the roast pork with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
