If you use big potatoes it struggles to cut them... Does that help at all? When I cut the sides off, it was much easier!

 

[stephie0611]

thanks, it was just a small potato, but i've cut the sides of it and that worked, so its now in the micro. xx

How did they turn out???

Still waiting for mine

 

[stephie0611]

i left mine in for too long, i just put 5 mins and walked away, so most of them were burnt apart from 2 haha , so will need to experiment again, the 2 that weren't burnt were lovely though . xx

Hehe, I have just sat down with my falafels for an early lunch and a browse of the forum lol.

On flavourings you could use onion powder, chinese five spice.

I was thinking you could do them in a normal oven on the plate warming setting over a long time as they need drying out?

 

[stephie0611]

i done my second batch last night, and this batch took about 10 minutes, as i filled all the wee gaps with the potato, so i take it the more there is to cook, the longer it takes. xx

thanks all i have just ordered mine lol i love crisps thats my downfall but cant wait to try mine when i get it will print off the pic to show my consultant and ask her about the freeness of these

 

[pesty]

I have tried to make them with my new crisp maker and they either come out burn or soggy!! I think its my rubbish microwave but its rather frustrating!!

 

[StripedDaisy]

I had to make some last night bp my dh was eating pringles! ! ! Grounds for divorce me thinks. I have found they slice easier when they are peeled and they microwave better when you only use every other slot... I will perfect them! I'm determine

 

[Juliewoo]

OMG I got mine ages ago but never used it (been off plan for a while tut tut).

Anyway back on plan & used it tonight for the first time, and they were FANTASTIC.

I used jersey royals (all I had) and used my mandoline. Put them in every hole & 5 mins in the microwave.

They came out really crispy, just like crisps but nicer. I just added a bit of salt.

If anyone is struggling try with new pots, I think mine worked so well cos they are quite small.

Off to make some more to eat whilst watching BB he he

xxxxxx

i have just had a search on the net and can't find any in the UK either, although I did find a recipe to make Microwave crisps without the little machine

Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips - 47195 - Recipezaar

Thanks Shelly I used this recipe yesterday and it worked really well using fry light, the first time I over did them, still edible but a bit of a burnt taste the second batch were perfect, mmmmm I used just sea salt and garlic powder.

The crisp maker looks really good as well, and a lot less hastle than soaking and drying each crisp

I bought this and it arrived today.

The blade is crap so far, but not tried peeling them yet, and so far they come out burnt, or soggy.

I have a 800 watt micro, any ideas?

Sorry - just resurrecting this thread as interested in purchasing some kind of crisp machine.

It would seem this thread was hyped-up until people were bursting, but the reality was not many people reported success.

Did anyone ever find a decent microwave/slicer/crisp maker? as I saw one recently on youtube (possibly from a link on here) but unable to re-locate?

Amazon do a one - Character Options Lets Cook Crisp Maker: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games

Any others or were they an idea that never really delivered?
