Tips for the slow cooker pork belly recipe
- We put the pork belly in the slow cooker skin side up – so the fat under the skin will melt slowly and protect the meat from drying up.
- You may want to skim the fat rendered by the pork belly before serving.
- You can reserve a bit of the glaze and heat it for 4-5 minutes in a saucepan until thickened, and serve it on the side.
- Nothing prevents you to crisp up the skin at the end, simply transfer the slow cooker pork belly to a baking dish and broil for a couple of minutes before serving.
How and how long to keep the pork belly leftovers?
This pork belly recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently in the microwave on in the oven, covered with foil. You can add a few drops of water to loosen the sauce.

I made this today. I basically change all the seasoning since I was making a mexican mole, but the technic for cooking it is splendid. So if your trying to find a way to cook it rather than flavoring, this is a good guide. I'm sure that with this seasosing is also amazing.
