Wonderful if you can handle salt
I was delighted to be able to order these, since local stores no longer carry them. The bags contain what appear to be chips of pork skin that were parboiled in salt water, then flattened under high pressure. Be sure to shake them around to distribute them throughout the bag before cooking. They expand considerably in the bag during 1:00 to 2:00 of nuking, depending on the wattage, etc., but it is a slow expansion, unlike the vigorous popping of corn. Also, the bag only expands about half as much as with popcorn. When ready, these resemble the ones available in cellophane bags that were deep-fried, but these are far tastier, fresher, AND MUCH LOWER IN FAT AND CALORIES. A whole bag is 210 calories, about 50 calories from fat. This is less than the low-fat microwave popcorn I use. One bag, however, has 50% of the daily salt limit for an adult.I especially like these sprinkled with garlic powder and dried marjoram (together). Other herbs and spices are interesting...

Yummy, fresh pork rinds!
I love it, less than two minutes in the microwave and you have hot, crispy and fresh (key here...some of the already puffed ones in stores are stale) chicharrones, or pork rinds. I found these on a health food site and couldn't believe it, so I ordered a box. They are really yummy and as long as you don't overindulge, you should enjoy them every time you are seeking something crunchy and salty (and low in carbs!).

Amazingly Good!
I do not like pre-cooked pork rinds, not even made fresh in the Mexican Carnecerias, but hubby likes them, so I decided to buy these.I was shocked to find that they were light, airy and crispy. Some bags were saltier than others, but we've cooked up about 5 so far and the majority aren't overly salty.Another reviewer mentioned watching them to figure out how long the cooking time should be. In our 1100 watt oven 40-43 seconds seems to be just right.The key is to take them out the moment the bag has fully inflated. Leave them in too long and you end up with charcoal and not enough time will make them gummy.Since I follow a fairly low carb regimen for health and weight reasons, I like the fact that these can be a perfect vehicle for guacamole and salsa without the carbs. I'm still trying to come up with more dip ideas that will go well with the flavoring.I wish they'd put out a version that didn't have seasoned salt as I'd like...
