- Extreme Pork Scratchings: Dare to Try This at Home?
While pork scratchings, pork rinds, and cracklings are all snacks made from pig skin and can be somewhat similar, there are key differences in their preparation and characteristics. Here's a breakdown:
Pork Scratchings (common in the UK):
Typically made from the pig's skin with a small layer of fat attached.
They are traditionally seasoned and then roasted or baked, resulting in a crunchy snack.
Often found in British pubs.
Pork Rinds (common in the US and many other parts of the world):
Made from pig skin but without the fat layer.
The skin is typically boiled to render any attached fat, then cooled and dried. Once dried, the skin is deep-fried until it puffs up, producing a light and crispy snack.
They can be seasoned in a variety of flavors.
Cracklings:
These are closer to pork scratchings in that they usually have a layer of fat.
They are the bits that are left after rendering lard. Once the fat is rendered out, the remaining bits are fried until crispy and golden.
The texture is richer due to the fat content and tends to be crunchier than pork rinds but not as hard as pork scratchings.
In summary, while all three snacks come from the exact origin (pig skin), the method of preparation and the presence or absence of the fat layer contribute to the differences in texture and flavour among them.

This video has potentially saved me $1000’s of Australian dollars. I usually buy about 1kg of scratchings for about $130. I love the stuff 😊 Thanks for the video. Your soothing English accent and the sound of the pork frying away in the background had me smiling from start to end. 1kg of pig skin has just gone on the shopping list 😊 Might even get an English ale to celebrate 🥳 Thank you 🙏
Thanks, Dave good of you to let me know. Pleased someone has benefitted - thanks. Best, Rik
Legit, no joke, that crunch is heavenly. Pork scratchings must be so nice when they're freshly made and a little warm.
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Just got me a slab of pork skin tonight from the supermarket will be making them tomorrow.
They're pretty good for you as all protein no carbs excellent for me as a snack.
Cheers Rik.
Nice One, Jimmy we eat them all the time here with Chili dips - it is Thailand. Let me know how you get on - don't waste the pork fat strain it put it in a container when its cold put it in the fridge - perfect lard. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef lard.for making hot water pastry. Very hard to come by here.
Roast potatoes cooked in some lard mate of even in the Yorkshire Pudding tins awesome. Best, Rik
Cracklins in the states loooooooove me some ...never ever thought i could fry my own!
Easy isn't it Abbie - and flipping delicious! Best, Rik
Very nice. The same as your other Aussie subscriber, I spend a fortune every shop, even trying to find lower price products. This is going to save me a lot of money.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Here in Brazil we call it Torresmo.
har my only weekness i buy the original black country ones of Amazon. thanks rik often wondered how they make em , bet they taste amazing fresh like that ,cheers 😋👍
Mike, they are great - but I'm 100% certain they aren't good for you! Best, Rik
😊 I can smell these through the screen 😊 Of all your videos this the only one I actually know how to and make often. Grew up on a farm, my Dad had me stirring the pan at a young age for our favorite snack. Made me smile. Same exact method.
I'm so glad! Its great to know others know how to make them. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Born and raised in Midwest US and we called them pork rinds. Been living in Costa Rica over 30 years and they are called Chicharrones. Absolutely love them!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just found your channel and you are making so much of my husband's favourite foods! I can't wait to make these pork scratching for him he absolutely loves these,the first time I've seen anyone make them, thankyou so much 👍
Awesome! Thank you! This is how we make these every week. Best, Rik
Amazing! I can't wait to try this. I spend so much on pork scratchings so if it works I'll save so much money
Kathleen, of course it works we make every week here. Good luck and save some money. Best, Rik
Man they look so good
Love them the bring back memories. We used to get em from a local shop in Scunthorpe when we where teenagers, we used to say they where fresh from the abattoir, some of them where huge and curly we used to call those ones the tails, some where hairy we didn't care they where delicious.
Good memories. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
I’m from Sunny Scunny; what shop and when? I grew up in the Westcliff and Bottesford areas in the 80’s.
Have never tried cooking them this way, will give it a go, thanks.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Perfect exact recipy ibwas looking for !❤ Was missing specifically these type of scratchings with some fat on it... Americans, mexicans and Thailand's people doijg it very different way and only with skin and no fat.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh, a UK pub delicacy Rik....I used to eat bags of pork scratchings in my younger days, a late friend of mine called them " Chickens itchings".... don't ask me why but he did 😂...
Best
Neil
Thank you. Best, Rik
I really liked your video, well explained with the why's for every step. Well done. Regards to you.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Growing up we always had a bag of pork rinds in the house. While visiting the Philippines I had a homemade version that still had a layer of fat on them and it was the best thing ever. I thought it was just a Filipino thing! Neat to see that other cultures have also discovered the best snack ever invented.
They are everywhere in Asia. Best, Rik
Now we are talking Rik after a few beers this is what is prescribed by the Doctor
Agreed! Best, Rik
Done in air fryer no splattering and fat renders down really nicely. I cook it dry
Thank you. Best, Rik
The best snack ever invented I pour the rendering off for other cooking
Thank you. Best, Rik
I have been making these in my air fryer for about 5 years any meat gets cut off for dog treat. I can’t buy enough to keep up with family demand everyone loves it😊😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
😮😋 Yummy ❤
Thank You 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hmong doesn't have a name for our version, we just know its fried pork skin haha
Fantastic! Thanks for this easy and simple way of making pork scratchings! I unfortunately burnt the first batch a bit, but will lower the heat in the future and I am sure that it will work perfectly! Amazing flavour and so simple to make.... ❤😊
Sounds great! Good luck - turn down the heat a little and enjoy. All the very best, Rik
Good work champ
Thanks so much. Best, Rik
When I was a kid, every now and then my Grand Dad would render down a huge cauldron of lard. All the little bits left over at the bottom we called 'cracklins'...they were delicious :) These look very good...similar to the Mexican chicharrónes.
Thank you for sharing. We render down here all the time. Get the lard and the scratching's/cracklings. win win. Best, Rik
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! Right in my tummy! 👍
Thank you 😋Best, Rik
I love your cooking and will try this method but i have seen chefs just stick them in the oven and they crisp up
Up to them, we all cook different. Thank you. Best, Rik
Don't forget to keep the fat. Great for eggs, roast potatoes etc!
Yes agreed. Put it in the fridge perfect Lard. Best, Rik
My wife being a bit of a carnivore will really love these. Must get to a butchers soon.
Steady, Tim these are very addictive. Best, Rik
I buy 1kg bags expensive tho I’d love to try this just don’t even know where to start with buying pork skin
Thank you. Best, Rik
Man I'd love to make these but it'd be a bridge too far healthwise and the wife would lose it.
Never seen them made, was great to watch them, was about as close as I can get.
Used to be able to buy pork skin at Morrisons and always picked some up when we had a pork shoulder for extra crackling
Keep out of trouble! Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef ;0) trouble doesn't look for me any more
@@philgee486pork is the leanest healthiest meat you can get
Here in the philipines we call it chicharon.
And it's delicious! Best, Rik
