My first crack at Cracklin's, Pork Rinds would be closer but I like Cracklin's OK!

Well that's what I'm calling 'em anyway

Chicharrones, Torreznos, Chicharro, Khaep mu, Pork Scratchings, Grattons, Cortezas de cerdo, Cueritos, Scrunchions, Pork rinds...whatever...

This is something I need to work on.

I was just experimenting here and did not check oil temp or anything, yes it was playtime.

Sorry for the bad camera shots frying, It was a bit awkward videoing with a camera and frying at the same time.

SQWIB those look great. i have made a bunch of them. i find that 390 deg in the oil works best.

Happy smoken.

this is how i make them.
They look good but taste is another issue, I was unhappy with the taste but the texture is awesome.

I screwed up when boiling the skins, I added a few tablespoons of salt as I read somewhere you really need to spice them up because they are bland???

oh well,

I 'm gonna save my skins and try making pig skin popcorn, I think my oil may have been too hot too, they seemed to fry up too quick.

They're edible but I expected more!

In your thread what do you mean the fat goes in the fire, nothing goes to waste?

My son likes em... go figure
 
Those look great and the video is good too. You always have great threads but I really enjoy your play by play tutorials!!!
Maybe when I make these again and have better success, I'll post a very very long thread for you, thanks for the compliment.

That is how I make mine. I use an oven to dry them and instead of cutting the fat off after boiling I use a spoon. Either way works well, just personal preference.

Great job on the video. I will have to show my daughter and get her working on one for me. She does video production in High School........

Good idea on getting you Daughter working on a video. Who wants to see a Qview when you can have video.

Happy smoken.
