What happens here

Using a sharp utility knife (box cutter), meticulously separate the pork skin from the underlying fat. Once separated, slice the skin into uniform strips, which will become the cracklings. The remaining fat should be diced into small, consistent pieces to ensure even rendering. This precise cutting facilitates the rendering process and ensures good quality cracklings.

Goal: This step involves carefully dicing the raw fat into small, uniform pieces and separating the pork skin, which will be used to make crispy cracklings.

busy cutting so here's our piece of skin and the way we're going to do this we're going to set our fat to the side let's take our piece of skin here which is really tough and we're just going to use a standard razor knife and we're going to slice it into strips okay and these strips are probably going to be about this wide now we're going to take those strips and we're gonna cut them probably in thirds it's much easier to cut this when they're already cooled and if you flip it down skin side down it doesn't tend to slip all over the cutting board it's not an exact science you're just cutting it up I'll take these and we'll make big skins out of them delicious low-carb snack now the lard here will cut into smaller little cubes so that we can throw it in there and boil it off the size of the cube that you want is going to be somewhere around half the size of your fist okay you'll find the longer you work with this the better you'll get with your knife and the better you'll get cutting it up I'm where to take this
