Recipe is created forTM 5
Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
Recipe's preparation
-
Score pork belly (5mm apart). Dry pork rind with paper towel and rub all over with salt(and pepper if desired). Place in Varoma.
Add water and soy sauce(you can use stock or salt instead if you prefer) to bowl and set time to 1 Hour Varoma temp.
You will have to add extra time. Add extra water regularly. The pork is ready when it is almost falling apart. A skewer will go through like butter.
I have to cook mine for between 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours depending on the size of the pork(it is worth the extra cooking time!!).
-
Preheat oven to 200-220 degrees celcius.
Add corrot, onion and celery to roasting tray and place pork belly on top. Season pork rind with salt again and drizzle rind well with olive oil and place into oven on top rack.
Cook until rind has crackled(this can take around 60 minutes extra depending on the oven).
Prepare pork for Varoma
Tip
Choose a piece of pork belly that has thick, firm rind on it. It will crackle much better than thin rind.
20 minutes before the pork is finished in the varoma, add your roasting potato's either into the bottom of the varoma or into the steaming basket in the bowl. Once finished, add them to the roasting tray.
Don't forget to add more water to the bowl.
The crackle will not happen as fast as a raw piece of pork but when it does, it happens rather quickly.

We've had this twice now and it's a great meal. We do an hour in the thermomix in the varoma. We don't find the need to top up the water... then an 60 to 75 minutes in the Weber. Yum

This recipe took the stress out of making pork crackle!!
I had a 1kg piece of pork belly, in the Varoma for 60 mins then 500g more water and back on for 30 mins.
I finished it off in the airfryer, 200 degrees for 30 mins.
Just delicious!!

Pork belly was really good, my crackling seemed to take forever though... Maybe it's my oven! I also made gravy from the leftover steaming liquid which was good.

Thank you I made this last night and it was delicious. I put extra vegetables in the roasting pan after I transferred the piece of pork into the oven, like sweet potato and pumpkin and they were nice and crispy when it was ready to serve. To make my sauce I just took out most of the stock/juice and left enough that the blades were covered, put in the butterfly whisk and added brown sugar and a bit of flour, maybe 2 tbs but I didn't measure and then let it cook on speed 100 for 5 minutes. It turned out more like a gravy than a sauce, but everyone enjoyed it. The pork looked just like the picture, and like everyone else I had it in the veroma for an hour and a half, then in the oven for a little over an hour, my oven seems a lot hotter than others so I had it on 200.

I put a piece of cinnamon and a star anise in the simmering water and steamed for 1 3/4 hrs. In the past I’ve had mixed results with pork crackling in our oven so instead used the EasyCook glass bowl oven (outside on the patio to keep the heat out of the house). After about half an hour on 120 and still not crackling I turned it up to grill and about 15 mins later the magic had happened! Perfect & complete crackling. The bonus was some yummy baked carrots and sweet potato. The pork used was a shrink wrapped belly piece from the supermarket with thin skin and not much fat, but the end result was fantastic. Next time I’ll try to get a thicker rind piece from a butcher and feel sure it will be even better.
I tasted the steaming water: added some water to dilute, some vinegar and brown sugar till I was happy with the balance. Then added some cornflour and cooked for about 20 mins/100/Speed 3 to produce a not too thick but tasty dipping sauce. Served in individual mini condiment bowls on serving plate. To complete this restaurant quality meal, I served with a few of roast vegetable pieces, a simple lettuce and tomato salad and dressing (yoghurt dressing from BCB worked well but next time would try Asian-style vinaigrette).
I highly recommend making this recipe.

trueyg: You can get pork belly on or off the bone. The belly on the bone has a load more flavour - you can ask for the piece that is at the other end of the cut that doesnt have the bone in it - which is the cut of pork you most often see as belly in the supermarkets. My butcher usually asks which piece I want

Novice male cook needs advice. Cooked yesterday as a test with meat, crackle, veggies turning out fantastic. However the steaming period was a lot longer than all the directions and readers tips etc advised and I put this down to the bone in the piece of pork. Question. Is it normal to cook the pork belly with the bone in or should I have asked the butcher to remove.
Thank you

I have a TM31, I cooked my 1.1kg pork for 1 1/2 hours, adding 500g water at 60min mark.
Then transferring to oven for another 60mins, crackle was perfect and the meat was restaurant quality.

I made this and it was delicious. My piece of pork was slightly large for the Varoma and so the lid sat a bit off and it took about 3 hours to cook. HIghly recommend.
This was by far the best pork
This was by far the best pork belly I have ever cooked. The family loved it including our 10 month old who growled because I was not feeding it too her fast enough.
Will definitely cook again. I made the sauce as above - water and soy mixture from the bowl, teaspoon garlic, star anaise and cinnamon stick, it was perfecg with the port meat and veggies.
Unfortunately I had error code C144 and C160 come up and my machine shut down

Made this today. OMG!!!! it turned out amazing! Best recipe i have tried so far. This recipe taught my daughter the word "crackle" as she kept wanting more
Hi! You put the roast meat on
Hi! You put the roast meat on top of the carrot, onion and celery in the oven(second last paragraph of preparation instructions). It protects the meat from burning and sticking to the roasting tin. i hope you enjoyed it!
Hope this turns out, its in
Hope this turns out, its in the oven now, I've invested 2.5 hrs already.
Also its a bit unclear what to do with the carrot and celery?
