I buy it occasionally. Slice it about 1/4 - 3/8 of an inch thick and pan fry it like bacon taking care not to cook all the fat out.
Delicious. Just dont try to eat to much at once as it is mostly fat.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I've done pork belly burnt ends before and it was a crowdpleaser. Recipes online. Don't cook until tough IMHO

I've done a couple slabs on the smoker and enjoyed it greatly.

While visiting family in Idaho last year, we stopped in Paradise Creek Brewery in WA. Really good eats...and they had an appetizer called "Pork on the Cob." It was a piece of smoked pork belly served on top of a slice of cheddar and jalapeno cornbread with a mustard sauce. It was DELICIOUS. Definitely plan on getting that again the next time I am up there.

Been meaning to try duplicating it but haven't gotten around to it.

Costco has the best I’ve ever bought or have eaten. Theirs is thick and very meaty.

My cousin bought some from Costco in November and made bacon out of it. He made me up about 10lbs of sliced and 10lbs of 1lb slabs. Boy is it ever good chewin. I use it a lot in different things like braises ,stews and beans it really makes the recipes taste great. Seems like just the right amount of
Fat and meat.

The Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White youtube videos for pork belly look pretty good. Has anyone tried those at home?

I'll have to look for da bellies, next visit to Costco, 500 mile round trip.

Not available here in town.

The problem I've noticed here, is that most commercial bellies have the rind removed !!!

Paul, while you’re there tap on the window where the butchers are and tell them you want a package of their beef short ribs. They come in 2 sections in a heavy vacuum packed plastic. You won’t regret it. Best beef ribs I’ve ever had.

Key to pork belly is the braising processing and spices; Chinese Five Spice, ginger, sugar, rice wine vinegar. Otherwise look into a crispy pig recipe using pork belly.
