How to Crisp up Pork Confit:
Preheat a non-stick or a well seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat. Cast iron doesn’t preheat very evenly, so you might want to give it 10 min on low heat and then turn up to medium right before adding the pork. No need for oil. The pork has plenty of fat. Add the pork in a single layer (it’s ok if it’s a little crowded). Cook without disturbing until brown, 2-5 min, stir and cook until the other side browns, about 2 min. It’s best to crisp up the pork right before serving.
