Pork with crackling

We have the family coming for Sunday lunch next week and roast pork and crackling has been requested ! I don't usually do pork for large numbers as I am worried about getting the crackling right.Also when I cook for a number I usually cook the joint the day before so making carving easier.I then braise it before serving. I don't think I can do this with pork can I ?So if I cook the joint on Sunday how can I be sure the crackling will be crispy ???

I saw Ken Hom pour boiling water over a piece of belly pork, then he dried it, scored it with a sharp knife and then he roasted it. The finished product sounded really crackly

I also cook my pork the day before, and gently warm in the gravy. Family of five, been doing it for years, no-one's been ill yet.
when almost cooked take of the skin and lay it on a rack over a deep tray and 'roast' separately if it is well scored its fine... and the fat left on the joint goes golden and crunchy too
I can vouch that Crisgal's method of crackling was fantastic! I've always had problems with crackling and was on the verge of giving up with roast pork but now I'll always use Crisgal's method for perfect crackling.
