Lowrey's Bacon Curls Microwave Pork Rinds (Chicharrones), Original, 1.75 Ounce (Pack of 18)

What's not to like? Microwavable heated freshly made pork rinds? Definitely a hit. Try not to eat the whole bag because there is plenty in it once the ding of the microwave alerts you. Takes roughly 2 minutes and it's flavorful to eat and maybe share. Six in a box . Originally found it at a store but they just continued carrying the product . Easier to buy in bulk . Will buy again.

These are really delicious. I was surprised how flavorful and crunchy they are. They are better than the ones that are ready to eat that you buy in the store!

Many years ago I looked into making pork rings at home. As a child, I would help with making sausage, and smoking meat and fish. My grandparents were from the "old country" and my dad grew up on a farm plowing with a draft horse at one time. We would buy a hog from my Uncle and have it butchered by a local state inspected meat processor. Dad would have it butchered and split in two, and we would cut it up at home, wrap and freeze the meat. Dad attempted to fry some of the pork skin to make pork rinds. Of course what happened was like the hard rind you get on your fried bacon. The trick is to pressure cook the skins first, then deep fry them. The problem is that pressure cooking leaves too much water in them resulting in popping and splattering hot oil when placed in the deep fryer. A dangerous mess to be sure. Enter what I found online years ago, skins you could get ready for you to deep fry at home. I wanted to try them but never did. While looking for bulk pork finds on Amazon, because you can never have enough, I was hoping to maybe buy a 3 pound tin or something on that order,but when I discovered these that I could microwave at home and eat fresh, I ordered them immediately. Best ofcall they could arrive the same day, how about that. I followed the directions, microwave 1-2 minutes, stop when the bag stops expanding. Unlike popcorn in a bag, you can't listen for the popping to slow down, to know when to shut off the oven so I burnt the first bag. Lesson learned, I shortened the time by 15 seconds on the second bag, stopping when the bag seemed it's fullest. The result is fantastic and is my new favorite snack. I got the original version but will try the hot variety next. Probably will set up subscription for this one because making them fresh is even better than a bag from the store or machine.

In the bustling rhythm of modern life, where the clamor of obligations and the constant rush of hours can weigh heavily upon the spirit, Lowrey’s Bacon Curls Microwave Pork Rinds arrive as a small, savory reprieve. Each curl crackles with a satisfying crispness, releasing a smoky aroma that recalls simpler pleasures and the warmth of convivial gatherings around a well-set table. The flavor is hearty and robust, speaking directly to the senses with an immediacy that comforts the weary and delights the curious palate. Yet, no indulgence is without its minor imperfections. Some curls may vary in texture, and the richness, though pleasurable, may be overwhelming in excess. Nevertheless, the convenience and intensity of flavor render these imperfections almost negligible. Four stars for a snack that marries taste and accessibility, providing a brief, joyful escape from the weight of daily life—a humble indulgence that satisfies both hunger and spirit.

Is there a good snack for keto diet… we do like the taste. But we do-wish they would microwave more consistently, we’ve tried several different microwaves, butalways find in the bag after microwaved the perfect along with un popped and burnt in the bag.

First bag seemed delicious. Idk if it's b/c ingredients are unhealthy or what, but after the first tasty bag, they seemed disgusting & made me feel unwell.

I have ordered this before and only found out about them several years ago when I was in Costco and they had it available. After that I got hooked and of course I had shared them and had hooked a few others because of the convenience and ease. The only thing to consider is that it is a lot more salty then usual pork rine that you would find at a store. So just take that into consideration. And also you need to consider the power of the microwave based on the directions -- its not like microwave popcorn as there is no sound to listen for. The bag rising is some indication but you have to let it keep going sometimes as the increasing in size of the bag is often due to the steam. You may need to add 30 seconds or so when you are cooking this. ALSO as an added note, I had a kind of air fryer and I had tested it and it worked also, it was a Turbo Fryer. So there are ways to cook it aside from microwave. IF there are some uncooked rine, you could re-attempt reheating or microwaving those that didn't quite cook. Don't re-use the bag if it has sufficiently heated -- you may need to try a microwave safe plate or use the air fryer.

These are more impressive than popcorn. 80 seconds and you have fresh, hot, crunchy melt in your mouth Chicharrones. Sprinkle any season you desire in the hot bag after popping and enjoy. We buy more before we run out.

This product was hugely disappointing. I had purchased them many times whilst living in the States and was delighted to see them for sale here in the UK. They were expensive but I thought I would have a treat. Sadly they were not a treat at all. They were so salty as to render them inedible. Had I not purchased and eaten them many times before I would have assumed that was how they should be. Maybe the ‘recipe’ has changed, but they are not the enjoyable product I have purchased in the past.

Nice and fresh!

These bacon puffs are very tasty and fresh. Every one of them puffs and there is no waste. The store bought bacon puffs taste old and stale compared to these made fresh every time you want some puffs. I highly recommend.

Overview I missed crunchy snacks and most that are available are just different concoctions of cheese. I do eat the bagged ones from the store (when I can find them) but they don’t hold a candle to these. Amazing flavor and texture. Tips: Start at 90 seconds in your microwave and adjust up in 30 second increments until you find the ideal time for your microwave (they are not all the same) Too little time and you will have too many un “popped” bits…too much time and they lose some of their light crunchy texture. 2 minutes and 30 seconds work perfect for me… Pros • Delicious… • Convenient • Perfect Keto snack Cons • A little salty (but that can be a bonus on Keto) Recommendation – Would buy it again and would highly recommend. <---Click below if you found this review helpful--->

A little pricey for what you get.
