Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

If you're wanting to eat this cold, leave to cool in the water for an hour or so before refrigerating.

Editor's note: In the featured Best Recipes Team photo above, the pork was not fully submerged in the water to prevent the skin from going soggy. We then popped it under the grill to crisp up the skin.
