what can I do to keep these from getting stale? Before I purchase these, I'd like to solve the problem I had my last go-round on Atkins. The smallest bag I've found is 2 ounces, and as I might eat 1/2 ounce a week, by the time I got to the bottom of the bag they've lost all of their crunch.

Re: Pork Rind Help
I have a foodsaver and it's been a life saver for me. Just seal it air tight right in the bag.My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

Re: Pork Rind Help
Just discovered they don't stay too crisp in an unopened bag either. Found one buried in the back of my pantry from last go round, so it IS over a year old. Just never thought of pork rinds as something that would "go bad" . Guess I will invest in one of those air sucky thingies.

You won't reqret it. They are also great for keeping veggies fresher longer. And cheese will last forever when it's vacuum sealed.Originally posted by ChickladyJust discovered they don't stay too crisp in an unopened bag either.

Re: Pork Rind Help
I only do this to keep them out of sight, so I don't eat too many, but they stay fresh for a very long time. I roll down the top and put on a bag clip, them put them in the freezer. I keep the ones I have crushed for breading, french toast, etc., in a zip-lock in the freezer, too. This keeps the fat from going rancid.
I didn't even like pork rinds to begin with, but now if I don't put them out of sight, I can put away a whole bag in no time!
