You seem to have a very negative opinion about America’s Test Kitchen based on one claim they made in one video (6:30). Yet you offer no insight into why you feel they are wrong. If a company in the business of testing recipes, with 30+ year track record (Cooks Illustrated), tells me that they did multiple experiments on pork belly, found oven results were leathery, frying was crispy, explains why, and then demonstrates it, well yes, I am going to trust them over a guy on the internet who implies he is some master of pork bellies but demonstrates nothing.

If someone claiming to be an "expert" says that something cannot be done, but you yourself have done it countless times at home, it tends to give the impression that the "expert" has no fucking idea what they're doing.

When the internet is full of examples of other people doing said thing, it kind of cements the idea that they have no fucking idea.

But hey, believe what you want.
