I cant believe he just made crisps in the microwave! I would not have thought it possible. Did any one else see it he just used thinly sliced potato, salt and pepper between two sheets of baking paper, is that right! cooked for 7 minutes on high I think they said.

I got some at La Cigale market in Parnell, but Huckleberry Farms shops probably have it. It's apparently a bit soon for my local fruit/veg shop to have it. I've got 3 young plants and I go and talk to them to encourage them. ;-) Easy to grow from seed or nurseries like Kings will have punnets of plants.

Hastings Farmers Market had huge bunches of lovely fresh cavolo nero for $3 on Sunday. Makes good chips and it's easier to handle than the frizzy variety.

you can dry vegys in your micow wave and make chips works better if you can stand them up and you cant make many at a time but they taste really good . you used to be able to buy a ring to put your potatoe in and cook it they are brown and you might get them in op shops look like small round cd racks
I made these chips yesterday - they were great -totally fat free crisps that tasted delicious!I thinly sliced a potato, laid on baking paper . microwaved for about 6 mins, checked they were still a bit squishy, so another minute or two . The timing will depend on how many you are cooking.
I also do peanuts in the microwave, we snack on them at least once a week . just put raw peanuts on a plate . microwave for about 3-4 mins, check to see if they have turned brownish, if not, mix up and microwave a bit more.Add a dash of olive oil and salt . mmm, hot roasted peanuts.There is a fine line between undercooked, cooked and burnt, so you may have to experiment a bit.

Yes. I didn't mean I don't believe it I meant I would not have made the mental association between a microwave and a crispy potato chip - I very rarely use my microwave to cook anything and when I do it's just to 'steam' vegetables. Other than that I use it to defrost things or reheat things, so maybe I need to be more imaginative and experimental with my microwave :)

Has anyone tried making kumara crisps in the same way Michael made the potato chips!

I don't have a microwave, could you do the same thing but in the oven!

Well, I just tried it with mandolinned kumara. It took a lot less time (less starch than potatoes). Just 2 minutes (maybe a fraction over that) to start to change colour and dry out. A great alternative to potato ones for those who are watching their starch intake.

Neither do I but I might give it a go in the oven.I already grill shoestring potato chips instead of frying them.
