I ended up buying a 3.5 lb pork belly to try this recipe. Do you recommend doubling the salt and spices? And it also seems the baking times are a bit long for a pork belly that is 2 lbs or less. Are these baking times accurate?

Hi Ray! Yes I'd suggest doubling up on the seasoning. Also the cooking times are accurate, it might seem a bit long but that's to ensure that the skin crisps up really nicely! And since pork belly is usually quite fatty anyway, there's little risk in it drying out during the roast.

The recipe does not state how to make the salt crust either, there is more to it than caking with dry salt I suspect?

And how, if the skin is very dry, do you make the salt stick?

Oh the salt is just applied loosely on top of the pork belly skin. It doesn't initially stick, but through the roasting process, it'll harden up and form a single piece due to the moisture released while roasting.
