re: Cooking cracklings advice needed

a lot of people use the crackling fat to fry their cracklins. personally, I prefer to add some lard to the pot first and simply fry my cracklins in lard. about the ice............yes..it pops some of the skin.

personally, I like to sprinkle a little little bit of vinegar on mine right out. but, you have to like that taste I suppose. it makes the skins pop also.
