I have just tried something I've never tried before and it was a resounding success, I put a boneless leg of pork in the slow cooker for six and a half hours then transferred it to the oven for the last half an hour of roasting the potatoes, rubbing more salt into the skin which burnt my fingers but the result was fantastic
 
I have kidney issues so any form of salt is bad for me but a decent piece of pork sans crackling (of which I believe salt is an integral part?) is not worth getting out of bed for <ok>

The crackling was crispy on the outside and melting in the mouth on the inside, much better than any of my attempts in just the oven and the joint was from Lidl so ridiculously cheap! <cheers>
 
I have the family round for lunch on New Year's Day and get a 2kg leg of pork (bone-IN), score the skin using a scalpel and rub in a mix of 2 parts salt and 1 of ground ginger, smear olive oil over teh skin and then rub the mix into it, ensuring that some of the mix gets through into the fat under the skin!!!
