trade secrets

3 stars

the secret is how to get the crackling crispy. Mix white distilled vinegar and a lot of salt together then brush it over the crackling. You can thank me later.

Just awful. Who puts pepper on crackling anyway?

1 stars

Quality terrible. The crackling was not crackling. Just an over peppered skin. Very disappointing.

Disappointed customer.

2 stars

So disappointed. Followed cooking instructions to the letter but pork was not cooked through and the “crackling” was rubbery not crisp so had to be cooked separately. Would not recommend.

Wish I'd read the 1 star reviews

1 stars

Supposed to serve 4, barely enough meat for 2 when you take off the 3/4 inch layer of fat! Even following the instructions to the letter it did not make good crackling. Don't ignore the bad reviews. Will avoid in future.

Swerve at all costs.

1 stars

I wrote and complained, the meat was all fat..and the crispy skin is down to you, but to crispy up pork rind, it must be over 200 degrees surely? It could have been lovely, it just wasn't..everyone left their dinner after all my hard work!

Too much pepper

1 stars

Do Tesco read reviews. Everyone is saying far too much pepper. Bought again this week and guess what!! Far too much pepper!! Will not be buying again.

Not brilliant.

3 stars

The meat was good.But way too much pepper.The crackling was inedible,tough and peppery.Not worth risking a tooth for .If I buy again I will wash off the pepper and score the skin more. Certainly not as I think of as crackling ,more like tough leather.

Lovely and tender but a little bland

4 stars

We cooked this in our air fryer at 200 Deg C for half an hour. The crackling was perfect and the meat tender and moist. I wiped most of the pepper off at the start having read other comments. The only downside was that the meat was a little bland and needed a good flavoured sauce to go with it. But pork often is. Maybe that's what the pepper was for???

INEDIBLE - DO NOT BUY

1 stars

The worst piece of pork I have tried in my life. The amount of pepper left my mouth stinging from only a small sample. Cutting off all the outside to avoid the pepper left a chewy tasteless lump, purporting to be pork.

Far too much pepper. Ridiculous
