Pork belly is about the easiest thing to cook.
- Cut off skin, leave the fat (you can leave the skin, it is potentially better that way, but requires more work to make it crisp rather than hard)
- Mix equal parts sugar and kosher salt, about 1/2 c each
- Sorinkle the sugar/salt on a sheet of aluminum foil
- Put belly on the foil, fat side up
- Fold up sides of foil to make a tray
- Add sugar/salt around the sides of the belly and over the top
- Fold up the foil to cover the belly and crimp it closed at the top
- Roast for an hour or so, 350-400F - more if needed for desired tenderness
- Open top of foil to expose fat cap of belly
- Roast another 1/2 hour or until browned on top

I do mine in the toaster oven.
