Product Description
Our microwave pork rinds are produced in North Carolina. The best way to learn how to cook them is to put 1/4 cup on a paper plate or paper towel and set the microwave for 2 minutes on high. 1/4 cup of microwave pork rinds will make approximately 2 cups of puffed pork rinds when cooked. Watch them cook thru the window and stop the microwave when they quite puffing. This will be the optimum cooking time for your unit. Let them cool for 30 seconds to increase the crunchy texture before eating. Microwave Pork Rinds are safe to store at room temperature (do not refrigerate or freeze) and remain favorable for 9 months.

A considerably healthier alternative to deep fried pork rinds,

This review is from: Microwave Pork Rinds 1 Pound Pkg. (Misc.)
These pork rinds fry in their own fat rather than having to be deep fried which is a lifesaver if you like pork rinds. I'm not the biggest fan, but sometimes I'm kind of hungry and these pack way more protein than the average fatty snack. The only problem is the type of fat it's fried in--melted pig fat from the skin itself! Not particularly healthy, but it's much healthier than the mexican bagged varieties.
Since we don't have a microwave (oh my god, how do we get by without one?!), we toast them in a toaster oven on a baking tray for about 10-15 minutes at 375F-400F. They come out great. If you lean closer to 10 minutes, you get a crunchy-porky tasting snack, while if you go past 15, you'll get the typically super-puffed pork rind you'd expect from Cardenas. I can't comment on how well they crisp in the microwave, but I expect it should yield the same results.

This review is from: Microwave Pork Rinds 1 Pound Pkg. (Misc.)
I like crunchy snacks. I'm eating low carb because my doctor advises it, and this helps fill the "popcorn spot" in my life.
There are a lot of things to like about this product. It's economical. They cook up fresh whenever you want them, and they taste fresher than the ones you buy pre-popped in a bag. They don't have MSG like the Lawry's brand, and they don't come with a lot of extra packaging. If you are a low carber looking for pork rinds to cook with, these aren't heavily seasoned, so they won't influence your recipe's flavor. I like their clean flavor, but it's not hard to add seasoning if you want to experiment or you like more variety. A little bit of oil or butter will serve as the "glue" to hold your Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, etc. There is a bit of a learning curve involved in terms of discovering how long they take in your microwave, but by now I know by feel what size handful to grab and how long to nuke them. It's worth the effort to get to know these. Highly recommended!

Not bad, not bad at all,

This review is from: Microwave Pork Rinds 1 Pound Pkg. (Misc.)
Being a long time fan of the piggy skins, and having tried a "microwave bag" version of u-cook-em rinds, I wanted to try something that wasn't drowning in packaging. And I'm happy with these tasty nuggets. I find in my fairly powerful microwave that i have to run a small plate of the condensed pieces (as they're shipped) for at least 1:45 (package says try 90 seconds to start) and I don't think it's my imagination that after these are taken out of the nuke chamber, they start to contract a bit.
But, when you consider that you can get a fresh, hot plate of puffy rinds in very short order, these are well worth the price. Of course you can get a trash-bag full of rinds at warehouse stores and other venues for a couple few bucks but for fresh eating at home, the only thing I'd compare these to is fryin' up a batch and these are hugely more convenient. On a 10 point scale, I'd give these a 7 but on the Zon's 5 star system, I have to go with 4.
