These are an interesting and tasty alternative to microwave popcorn, well worth trying. The spicy version is not very spicy, but has a little kick. Be careful to even out the contents of the bag before microwaving and to make sure the bag rotates freely in microwaves with a turntable. Microwave time is short, about 90 seconds. They come out hot and fresh tasting. Pieces are relatively small, about an inch square. They have a less intense pork flavor than the best pork rinds, but having them hot helps compensate. Amazingly, pork rinds are becoming "diet food." They have no carbs, there is a lot of air in them that minimizes the calories for the volume, and relatively small quantities are satisfying. Anyway, it is a good story to go with a tasty snack.

I don't know if I got a bad batch or something, but I could'nt get these to cook right. I followed the instructions and after about two minutes, the bag stoped expanding. I opened it and found everything badly burnt. the next bag I waited about one and a half minutes. I opened it and found half the chips uncooked. I never could find a time that either left some uncooked or some burnt. (I shook the bags and scattered the chips inside them well before microwaving each time)

These are really easy to cook in the microwave and are fresh and warm every time. They are part of my low carb diet and this is a great price.

This product is fantastic. Instead of popcorn we eat pork rinds. They have no carbs which have helped us to keep our weight down. We feel we have made a better choice. We eat them practically every night. Thanks for a great product.

I bought these last month as part of an Amazon promotion - buy 5 items get %40 percent off. I had never heard of this product, but have a soft spot in my belly for the snacks I grew up on as a kid. These things turned out way better than expected. They are essentially pork rinds from your typical supermarket, but they are fresh - still crackling and popping after you open the bag. I'm addicted to these now and have had to ratio them out so I don't eat them every night. They're THAT good.

The product itself is great, it's the bag that needs work. I recommend that instead of microwaving them in the bag, spread them out on a paper plate or a microwave safe plate then popping them in the microwave for about 90 seconds. You do have to watch these cook though or they will burn on you. I really like the pork rinds themselves and they are a healthy alternative to chips though they are a little salty.

For pork rind lovers these are the best. Hot, spicy, low fat and crunchy.

These are a wonderful snack, better than popcorn, and they are not so hard on the teeth like other pork rhinds.

I like them a lot. Got a batch after seeing it on a TV show. The first bag seemed a little 'off' to me, but then I realized it was bacause they were not fried. After that I like them a lot. I think they could be 'hotter'. I found that you want to start at the low end of the cooking time and work up. For me about 3 bags was enough to figure out that 1:08 was the 'perfect' time for my microwave. Long enough that they all 'pop' but not so long that anything happens to the early 'poppers'.

My daughter loves them also, and we are going through them at a pretty good clip. I'm going to put them on auto reorder when this batch is gone. They are perfect for evening snacking when the mood hits. Since you make them as you eat them, never a stale bag! And the size is just about perfect for that.

That's my 2 cents worth :)

You can't please everyone, but my husband and I love these. I have found that if you take them out of the bag and lay them in a single layer on a paper plate you get better results, as you can see them "puff" up. We put the microwave at full power for 2 mins and watch it till we see the majority have puffed. Do not leave them cause they will burn and do stink when burned. But we will be ordering again.
