How do I microwave Lowrey's Bacon Curls?
Open one single-serve bag, place it flat in the microwave, and heat on high for 1 to 2 minutes. The bag will puff up as the curls pop. Let it cool for about 30 seconds before opening.
What do I do with the unpopped pieces in the bag?
Re-roll the bag to redistribute the unpopped pieces, place it back in the microwave, and heat for another 30 to 60 seconds. The second cook typically finishes the job with very few hard pieces remaining.
How long does it take from bag to bowl?
From start to finish, the entire process takes about 2 to 3 minutes, including the 1 to 2 minutes of microwaving and a brief cool-down before opening the bag.

Are these safe to eat if I have dietary restrictions?
The curls are made from pork rinds, so they are naturally gluten-free and contain no nut ingredients, but you should always review the full ingredient label for any personal allergies.
How long do the curls stay fresh after microwaving?
Customers report that the curls hold their crispy texture into the next day when stored in a sealed bag, which is significantly longer than store-bought pork rinds that often go stale within days.
