Thread: Crisp maker

Was thinking about ordering one of these, what do you think?

Microwave Mini Potato Chip Maker + Slicer Fat Oil Free on eBay (end time 12-Jan-10 18:01:23 GMT)

They are supposed to be quite good Hun from what I have read. I love making my own crisps in the microwave and its so easy!

Always a big debate on these ones.

Some consultants say this is not OK on the plan, other it is fine.

I think it comes down to whether a potato sliced and cooked like this is filling or not. The flip side being, surely better to eat them cooked this way than out of a packet.

I guessed I might have to syn it but figured it would be better than a shop bought pack and cheaper!!

Oh yes! the longer I've been on the plan the more I find shop bought ones really 'greasy'.

seems good for the price love my gadgets

Thanks for this. I just ordered it.

i ordered one a few weeks ago - still waiting for it to arrive.

will take it into class and speak to my consultant about it.

I ordered one last week.

I have heard crisps are really tasty made in them, you can do sweet potato, parsnip ones etc too.

I know about the big debate about these too, but unless you are eating a huge amount of them, I can't see what the harm is and how would you syn them anyway, when everything that goes into them is a free food???

Low fat crisps are hard to come by here, so I will be pleased to be able to do a healthier version myself for a snack occasionally.

You could add all sorts of flavouring couldn't you? Paprika yum yum

It looks amazing- I'm very tempted!! Why would you have to syn them? You can just give them a spray with frylight!! If we don't have to syn SW chips, what's the difference?!X

I assumed because of the big debate really and plus I might eat too many haha

Even if you ate hundreds and used 100 sprays of frylight, that would only be 100 calories which isn't too bad surely!!!X

I am a crisp fiend and would really like one too. But, I am put off by it being sent from Hong Kong (lengthy delivery time). As I am impatient, has anyone seen one that you can buy here in the UK?

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
