Last night I decided to make some pork belly for today's breakfast.
So I sliced of a few chunks of pork belly

I put them in a crock pot on low when I went to bed about 1:00am. Here they are this morning after about 7 hrs.

Added an omelet style egg and had a great breakfast. The bellies were much better than they look in my lousy pictures.

They really shrunk up
they look great,,, though they did shrink
Shrink? That's called fat rendering and that ain't nothing but a good thing. :)
whatever it is called, it ends up with a very juicy, tender, tasty piece of belly.
