Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.
Pat pork dry with paper towel. Rub salt into pork rind.

Step 2
Place the pork in the air fryer basket and spray with oil .
Set timer for 25 minutes and cook until the rind crackles.
Reduce temperature to 160°C. Set timer for 30 minutes and cook until pork is tender and cooked through.
He first needs to cut it up so it fits in his dual basket Kenwood.

Ok. I've bought some pork belly. What do I do now?
Open a beer.
Pack wood and light your fire.
When there's coals put the porky on the grid, highest setting. Cover with a braai dish lid. (Daai Hart bakke)
Now you relax a bit. Hour or so.... turn it around. (First take off the lid, then put it back)
ANother beer ..... 20-30 min, turn around again. IF you have that fancy meat temp checker, stick it in.
I took mine off at 68, let it rest. Time for another beer.
Now cut and eat.

Edit: Fck you Airfryer.

Score the skin (lightly, not cut all the way through).
Put it on a layer of course salt in the fridge overnight.
Next day, rinse the salt off and let it dry or pat it dry with paper towel.
Lightly oil the skin side with olive oil and spice the meat side with whatever you want.
Pour your favourite drink and start a fire.
Put it on a staanrib stand next to the fire, skin side towards the fire until the skin starts bubbling, turning into crackling.
Pour another drink and add wood to the fire.
When the crackling is to your liking take it off and use a sharp knife to remove the crackling layer, leaving a thin layer of fat on the meat - put the crackling aside to rest.
Spice the fat side now with whatever you want.
Put back on the stand, now turning occasionally while keeping an eye on how it has cooked.
Pour another drink and add wood to the fire.
Careful to not become impatient moving it too close to the fire, it needs to cook slowly.
If done right it should take about 3 hours during which time you can make your side dishes.
Eat and enjoy.

Technically it is also air frying, just a much better way to do this.

I do that and then do the fatty side until that turns nice and crispy, serve the crackling as a side if there is still any left by that time.

I use a narrow blade fillet knife to cut it off so I can cut close to the skin/crackling and not have a lot of fat on it.

I was going to say, this sounds like a good method if you're looking for an excuse to eat all the crackling before the dish is served.

Oh here we go. Why are you talking about poop in a Food/kitchen thread? Do you lack basic manners or what?
I do lack empathy for stupid people - of which there's plenty in this thread.

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

As someone with Crohn’s disease I can tell you matter of factly you don’t just get it from something.

This is one of those folklore tales the media ran with back in the day about John’s disease in cows causing Crohn’s disease in humans and everyone ran with it while there is very little factual support for any of it and you’ll struggle to even find the original sources in the here and now.

If there is any genuine correlation to he had it’s more likely a case of people already being predisposed to getting/having Crohn’s being triggered by the bacteria’s that cause John’s disease.

Either way this is ancient stuff from the late 90’s that never went anywhere.

What there is however is a trend in prevalence of Crohn’s Disease in the modern world due to an increase in lactose intake. Even this a bit of hocus pocus though and may relate more to better modern diagnoses than an actual cause.
