  • Pick the pork belly up by the underlying foil and gently place it in the cooking tray. Return the tray to the Typhur Dome.
  • Cook the pork belly for 20 minutes at 400°F/205°C.
  • Remove the cooking tray with the pork belly from the Typhur Dome. Brush the skin of the pork belly with white wine vinegar and season with a pinch of salt. Return the tray to the Typhur Dome to cook for another 40 minutes at 400°F.

  • Carefully remove the pork belly by picking it up from the underlying foil and transfer to a cutting board. Note: The foil will be full of hot fat, so use extreme caution when removing it from the Typhur Dome.
  • We like to serve this delicious pork belly sandwiched in a steam bun or served over steamed rice.
