Hi everyone,

I’m planning to make flæskesteg (roast pork loin with crackling) and have two questions:

  1. When initially roasting the pork under high heat for creating crackling, should I put it on a rack and fill the roasting pan with water underneath, or can I put the meat directly on the pan?
  2. Is Le Creuset 33cm (enamelled) cast iron roaster good to be used as the roasting pan for the initial high heat roasting (220c fan forced)? I know that the cast iron roaster is oven safe up to like 250c. However, it’s also not recommended for dry heat cooking, so there’s a bit of conflicted message.

Any help would be appreciated!
