How to choose good pork skin
- Choose pork skin from the back meat, shoulder meat, thick, flat skin pieces, and larger sizes will be easier to process.
- Avoid choosing the belly skin as this part lacks tension, is thin, can easily tear, and is not crispy.
- Choose pieces of skin that are rosy in color, not too white, and free of bruises or blood clots.
- Press to see if the skin has good elasticity and no strange smell.
