Microwave pork rinds are the best!!! So much better than the ones in the bag. I have tried the ones from Walmart and they are not bad but I really like Lowrey's much better. There are also other brands that you can get online that people say are even better than Lowrey's (and have many more flavors) although I haven't tried them. There is one brand that you can buy in large buckets and then just use small paper bags to "pop" (much more economical this way).
The microwave pork rinds keep forever as long as they aren't "popped". The beauty is that not only do they taste so much better than the pre-bagged ones but they are always fresh when you "pop" them. You do have to experiment and find out the exact time needed to "pop" them in your microwave. They can burn quickly if cooked too long. I would always start with the recommended time and then adjust from there, accordingly. I, personally, have never noticed a bad smell when popping them.
The walmart ones and the Lowery ones come in two flavors... plain and hot & spicy. My husband and I love the hot and spicy ones dipped in plain sour cream. My husband does not lc and never wants to try any of my lc stuff. I had to force him to try the hot and spicy ones dipped in sour cream... now... he likes this snack even better than chips (and he is a true chip addict). I am really sorry that I ever introduced him because now I have to share... half!!!!
You should give them a try. If you don't like the Walmart brand, don't give up... try Lowery's or another brand. (I think the Lowery are two or three times better than the Walmart brand.) They are wonderful and can be used for so many things.
I use the plain ones for dips, spreads, chicken salad, etc. When I don't eat an entire bag, I save the remainder and grind them to coat meat and vegetables for frying. Shrimp is exceptional coated in the hot and spicy ones!
