    I think a standard kitchen mandolin and the recipe sounds like the way to go.

    • @ayekantspeylgud
      @ayekantspeylgud 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think even if you use the microwave (I’m not all the way through the video yet), a standard mandolin is the way to go - even a box grater with a slicing side might suffice.
      Edit: it would also cut down on the cutting time even though the recipe involved additional steps.

    • @checkedcabbage2462
      @checkedcabbage2462 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      My first thought too. If the main issue with the gatget was the super jank slicer then just use a mandolin.

    • @prebenkul
      @prebenkul 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I mean, the homemade chips would take you up to 15 minutes to play around with before their done. And let's face it, you will only get about 10 slices or so at a time. But if you get a few of the gadgets, you can prob get up to 5-10 times the amount you'd get from the normal way. Really, just use the recipe AND the device. Gives you better chips and cuts the time from 10-15 to 3-5.

    • @Bearded_Toy_Guy
      @Bearded_Toy_Guy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yeah try a mandolin both ways and then see what's better. I think the crappy slicer is why you didn't like the fast version.

    • @ayekantspeylgud
      @ayekantspeylgud 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sp3cial1st i agree with this too, except then it becomes a question of if you want to spend - $5? $10? $15 (I missed how much he said it cost) for a handful or two of homemade potato chips. I think for the number of times you’d actually want to put in the effort to make them, a mandolin and a DIY version of the device along with the recipe (which is just rinsing + oil & salt right?) would be best. Maybe take a cheapo plastic storage container for $2 (or whatever else) and cut a bunch of holes in it to allow the airflow to the slices and proceed as per the instructions.

    Hey James first of all my family loves the reviews we always learn something keep it up! I wanted to add something to your recent review that you did on the Joie 44000 Healthy Microwave Potato Chip Maker. The name of it is precisely what I want to highlight which is HEALTHY! We own this and the whole point of it for us, was we could make potato chips without adding any oil to the potato. You did not discuss this on your review your focus was rather on the consistency of the potato slices which granted is not always even. I would not say were lazy for using ours the point was to make potato chips without using any oil/Fat. To make potato chips healthier! Thanks again for your work, just felt like we needed to share.

    A tip for using any mandoline slicer. When they say to cut a flat and attach the guard, you're supposed to attach the guard to the cut end. For some reason, lots of people get that backwards, and thus stop using the guard and cut the tips of their fingers off.

    I bought the joie a few years back and used it maybe twice. I burned the chips both times (which is why I haven’t really used it again since), but it seems that’s just the nature of making them in the microwave. I actually prefer thinner chips, so the mandolin cutting them super thinly didn’t bother me.
    The worst parts are the safety guard (like you, I found it difficult to hold on to and at one point nearly cut my finger trying to hold on to it), the bowl not having any non-slip grips on the bottom, and the lid not locking on. And, as useless as it was, I misplaced the safety grip because there was no way to attach or store it.

    You could technically stand up the chips by folding the paper towels in a way to compress the chips together with some gap in them, when doing the recipe to fit a lot more chips.
    Maybe something akin to paper origami (in a FAN shape) can be used to sit the chips on it.

    Thanks for this friggin review because it inspired me to try my gadget that I already had. What a money saver too. I mean, 10-20 cents per potato vs $3.99+ for a bag of chips.

    Seems about par for the course for a Joie product. They're local to the part of Canada where I was born and raised. They make a whole lot of different kitchen gadgets that you can find at Walmart and most grocery stores. Some of them are amazing, and some of them are just okay. You could have an absolute field day testing a _bunch_ of their products if you felt like it. I like their Roundy Egg Ring. It's just a simple silicone ring that helps you make more uniformly shaped fried eggs.

    I have made microwave chips many times. I use a mandolin slicer and lay the potatoes out flat on parchment paper. I do not use any oil and it works fine. I have never tried to wash the starch not sure if that helps. Cooking time depends on how much moisture is on the potatoes some are as short as 3 mins others up to about 6. Another video on this I watched said adding the oil increases cook time as well. Season to taste I like a garlic salt and pepper blend myself.

  • @BeccaMudtramp
    @BeccaMudtramp 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a foolproof way... it's never failed.... I use a handheld mandolin which has 3 depths and I use the thinness depth (#1 on my mandolin). I use Red Potatoes and they slice easier and fit the mandolin better as well as I don't soak in water. I slice the potato, then spray a microwave safe platter with non stick cooking spray, lay the slices directly on the platter (no paper towel), then put seasonings if desired. then place in the microwave for about 4 minutes to 4 minutes 45 seconds (just watch them when it gets closer to the 4 minute 15 second stage).... the slices will start to turn a little golden color (not brown like the ones in the video) and I do NOT flip them during cooking.... after the time is up, take them out, put them on your regular plate or paper plate (whatever you're using to eat them from LOL) and begin the second batch. I can usually get about 20 chips per platter... They always come out perfect. Sometimes I like to put a little black pepper and onion powder on them, but the spice choices are endless. Super easy.
    Just a side note... we had a steakhouse around here that made their own chips and I would always ask them to cook them slightly underdone as I like a little chew (not chewy, just kind of a little soft), but not super crispy... they taste SO good with their ranch dressing. So occasionally I like to make these that same way, I just pull them out of the microwave a little sooner. YUM!
    Great review!

    I have this gadget and find it works great for what it is consider ease and time it takes vs other methods

    On Twitter, the sill photo, I thought they were sliced dried apples.

    I've done this in a superior lazier way . I just used a potato peeler to slice the potatoes, drenched them in oil and microwaved on a ceramic plate. I wonder how it would work with one of those microwave ready baking potatoes or fried up in that red microwave grill plate thing.

    For making chips you need to use low in starch potatos this helps with less browning

    Great video but no way would I by this. Not that the chip cooker didn't work but that slicer looked really dangerous. The fact one you have to press so hard and two that the top didn't lock and you had to hold it it's a no go.

      @R I I've never seen one shaped like a bowl, making it impossible to hold still.
      It's a crap design any way you look at it.

    Use a good, full-sized mandolin slicer with the recipe, then use the gadget to cook them. Best of both worlds.

    The microwave does a surprisingly good job, it's a bit time consuming but it makes great crispy potato chips which is something that I didn't expect at all.

    I think the value of this seems to be in the cooking rack.I'd be interested in seeing if I could make a cheap version of that somehow.
    Regarding the slicer, they're hard to really get the hang of sometimes, and when they come out as they did for you, it's because you're lifting slightly at the end of your pass. Not by much, but when the slices are that thin, not that much makes the difference!

    watching and especially listening to a man shove potato chips into his mouth hole and masticate is the best appetite suppressant i've found so far.

    you could use a standard box grater and get thicker chips. that way you can still use the gadget but get thicker chips.

    James. slice. soak in water with tea spoon of baking soda to become crispier before burning. brush with oil and add salt to taste. cant tell time cuz its according to microwave power and amount of chips. bteer use an air fryer.

  • @justaguylou
    @justaguylou 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just because chips are not that expensive, I probably would not bother. Also wonder how you could flavor these. I'm a big fan of salt & vinegar chips.

    It's much easier to use a potato/carrot peeler for slicing potatoes for home made crisps. You just dash down multiple times and voila! Mind you, the peeler is not really broad enough for larger potatoes.
    i found that when making home made crisps it is the thickness consistency that matters most: in a given batch, thicker ones might come out raw and the ones too fine get burnt
