The first thing I do for roast pork is make cuts across the fat, close together. I then rub salt into the slits, and render the fat. Once that is done I add seasoning to the fat and roast the pork in the oven, fat side up, using stock to cover the meat, but not the fat. Works like a treat every time.
Putting the meat directly under a hot grill when cooked, it's amazing how quickly the crackling bubbles up and goes very crisp
