The title says it all

Or any other tips to get lovely crackling

I do oil then salt. Not nessacerily Olive Oil, I use Veg oil then massage it in, getting right in the grooves.

or possibly salt at the same time - can't remember anymore than boiling water - it was anthony worrell thompson btw

Just salt. Don't get oil thing. It's greasy enough.
