Set aside.
Set aside.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Put the pork joint (or pieces) on a chopping board. You can choose a cheaper cut for this; there is no need to use a premium cut like filet mignon (even though this would work fine).
A smoked and salted joint would be even better still, so I heartily recommend it.
