Does this work with other vegetables, or do they just turn mushy. Really trying to figure out how to cook or dehydrate veggies that makes them more snackable.

Ok so I had to take the thin ones off the plate after 6 minutes (they smell like Mickey d's fries) and I put the thicker ones back in for 3? Minutes. Mm they taste good

Ommnomnomnom this is delish... But I haven't even tried them yet. Great instruct able, mine are still in the microvave but they are taking more than five mintutes.. ( though I have to admit I'm not very good at cutting) I can't wait to try them! I used salt and olive oil

You might have an easier time of separating the chips from the plate if you use a piece of bakers parchment, lightly oiled with cooking spray, between the chips and the plate. This should also work in the conventional oven, and if you're lucky enough not to burn, then you can use the parchment over again for a second batch. "Betcha can't eat just one...." (Batch, that is...) Great guide!

I like how you said "life savor" -- not sure if that was an intention pun.

first you need to wash potato chips (um-microwaved) with cold water then they shouldnt stick to other things or each other . awesome guide :D

does this really work?

Aug 4, 2009. 10:43 AMHexpigge says:

well I used baking paper, after washing with cold water it helped a bit :)

Hi, great idea! I tried it but all my chips stuck to the plate & I had to chisel them off!! Did you use a paper plate or something other than a ceramic microwave-safe plate? Thanks.
