The potato chip lover's best friend

[CherryPizza]

In case there is anyone here who isn't aware of their existence, if you love your potato chips (that's 'crisps' for you UK folk), getting yourself one of the microwave oven potato chip gizmos could well do wonders for you.

See one pictured here: http://www.markpascua.com/wp-content/mi ... -maker.jpg

There are always a few on eBay in various forms. Just type 'microwave potato chip' into the search bar and something will come up. Be sure to get one that comes with a gadget for slicing the taters.

The Gizmo looks very interesting....
Does it work well?
MMMMMM Chips!!!!!

They do work well.

It takes a bit of time to get used to the idea of chips without the fat in them, but if you season the potato with a flavour that appeals to you, they can become quite pleasant for the munching.

I got a microwave potato chip maker off the internet. It was like $5.00. Actually, I got 2 for the price of one. I just googled microwave potato chip maker & wa la!!!

I also take a corn tortilla & cut it into triangles, or whatever shape works & make corn chips. Great with salsa. Every microwave is different so you really have to watch it or you will burn them.

here's a method that works well without a gadget -- http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2008/08/he ... nacks.html -- I've done them on parchment paper or a nonstick liner. I use my food processor to get thin slices.
