Score the pork skin
Flip the pork and set it skin-side up on the June Roasting Rack set in a June Pan. With a wooden skewer, metal skewer or sharp knife, poke the skin all over, making ⅛”-deep holes. If using a wooden skewer, you may need a few extra as the pointed tip may dull.

Season the outside of the pork
Pat the skin dry with paper towels. Season the skin all over with the salt. Brush or rub the oil with a pastry brush or your hands around the outside of the pork.

Roast the food
Place the food on the middle shelf of the June Oven and plug the June Food Thermometer into the jack. June will roast the pork until the June Food Thermometer reaches 140°F, about 45 minutes, then increase the temperature to 450°F and roast the pork for 5 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden.
Rest the pork and serve
Remove the pork belly from the June Oven and transfer it to a chopping board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest at least 10 minutes. Cut the meat across the grain into ½”-thick slices. For the best results and cleanest slices, use a serrated knife and cut the pork when it’s skin-side down. Arrange the meat on a platter and pour any juices from the chopping board over it. Serve.
