Motorcycle Raffle, Microwaves & Bathroom Etiquette - April 29, 2015
Daily List
The microwave oven was invented in the 1940s and was called the "radarange", but it was too big and too expensive for home use. Pic of old microwave. Microwaves are a kitchen staple now, but you can do more in them than just quick cooking! On the Daily List this morning, see three things you didn't know your microwave could do!
3 Things You Didn't Know Your Microwave Could Do
Microwave Potato Chips
1 1/3 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed (i used regular Idaho spuds - took longer)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
1.Slice potatoes into thin (1/8") rounds. Toss the slices in a medium bowl with oil and salt to coat evenly.
2.Coat a large microwave-proof plate with cooking spray. Arrange some potato slices in a single layer on the plate. Microwave, uncovered, on High until some slices start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes (depending on potato thickness and microwave power). Turn the slices over and continue microwaving until they start to crisp and brown around the edges, 2 to 4 minutes more. Check frequently and rearrange slices as needed to prevent scorching. Transfer the chips to another plate and allow to cool completely. (They will crisp more as they cool.) Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
Make Ahead Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
