tried that, not sure the oven got hot enough for that to have an effect,
on this point what's the consensus, over on at full whack? or under the grill at full whack?
I think you could do with more scoring too, I go for parallel lines about 1cm apart, I think this helps get the heat in and around and crackle it up. This, and using salt/wipe off, more salt method, seems to work for me.
Blast it on full for the first 15/20 minutes
