Donald Trumpâs Pledge to Defend Article XII of Constitution Raises Eyebrows.

If you get it whole, pork belly is one big, long cut of meat, weighing up to 12 pounds. Think of it as a big slab of bacon. You can actually buy pork belly to make your bacon. Once you brine or cure it, and smoke it, it becomes bacon. But the pork belly you are seeing on menus and in food magazines is different.
Unlike with pork chops, high heat doesnât work for the belly. Rather, mellow, moist cooking yields the best results. Braising (shown here), stewing, or slow-roasting renders the fat, particularly the layer just below the skin, and breaks down the collagen, making a tough cut meltingly tender.
