Firstly it's not tape worms it's Trichinellosis
secondly the chances of getting it nowadays is slim, it was more common in the old days when pigs were left to scavenge on farms and ate other infected animals.
Ja maybe, but this is one thing that will never change in our household. Pork is always cooked through and, with a meat thermometer, it is really easy to get to the well-cooked state.

Pork belly cooked low and slow is the ultimate bachelor food because you have to be a really bad cook to mess it up. Throw it into the oven for 3 hours at 150 degrees, it's self-basting and you don't even need a knife, just pull it apart with your fingers.

If there’s a better method I haven’t come across it.

In the spirit of this thread you could use an air fryer to crisp it up at the end instead of your oven (if you don’t mind dirtying another pan and just want to ignore an oven that is almost already up to temp)…

@bwana beat me to it, but you can definitely get Taenia Solium from pork if the pig was infected to begin with.


Cheaper than going to the gym.
You can also get krones disease from cows if they are infected, but in modern farming the chances of both are slim.

You're missing out, though you are from that generation where it was possible to get it.

Works great for various of meats if done correctly.
