pork rinds/skins

[Guest guest]

Just a reminder that most companies probably fry their pork skins over and over

in the same pork fat making the fat unhealthy. I don't do store brand pork skins

any more-they were causing a little bit of acne-which makes me believe its the

bad fat that's been fried many times over and over again. Also, they are loaded

with sodium-which can imbalance your mineral levels.

Instead for a snack I buy uncured/preservative free fresh bacon and cook

that to a crisp. It taste so much better than pork skins-but more expensive.

---I tried getting the frozen pork skins from the store and they smell terrible!

I had to return them.

Hi Bee, I am purchasing a half of a pig from a local farm and I have an option

to trade some sausage that has sugar in it for a couple other things. One of

the options was bacon rind. Is that what you use to make Pork Rinds? I saw

some recipes on here for pork rind stuff and it got me excited. I'm hoping to

be able to make the recipes with bacon grind if thats what I need. Thanks in

advance, Danny.

Eesh. I was not aware of this (that frying something " over and over in the

same...fat " made the fat unhealthy.

I allow my kids to fry potatoes in coconut oil. How many times do you think we

can re-use that CO?

thanks

+++Hi ,

Using the same pork fat over and over is not unhealthy. My grandmothers, mother

and myself always kept a grease pot near the stove into which all of the fat was

poured and used over and over again.

+++Hi Danny,

Yes, you use pork skin, called rind, to make Pork Rind Cracklings.

However this question should be on my Recipes Group, where that recipe is

posted:

Recipes_For_Candida_Healing/

The Pork Rind Cracklings recipe is message # 1432 at that group.

+++Hi . Please don't believe everything other people write. See my reply

to that I posted this morning, which is basically that reusing pork fat

isn't unhealthy at all.

At home you can control the temperature/smoking point of using the pork fat

over and over. Pork fat does contain a small percentage of polyunsaturated fats

in which a company could be frying their pork skins above 400/450 degrees? I was

referring to " companies " frying pork skins, not home made processing. Research

has indicated that frying polyunsaturated fats to a smoking point over and over

can degrade the oil turning the oil bad---Most companies wont tell you at what

temperature they fry their products/and how many times they use the oil over and

over.It's interesting that I only have acne when I eat certain brands of pork

skins. The only time I get acne is when I eat rancid/bad/hydrogenated fats.

Also, Maybe some companies mix in vegetable oil, when they fry the pork skins?

It probably depends on how much " correct " information these companies are

willing to give you...
