chips on the microwave chip maker! Season with various rubs, no salt.

make salsa in the mfp, then tortilla chips on the mcm.

Tortilla chips on the mcm?? I thought we weren't supposed to use anything except potatoes, yucca, and/or apples??

Those won ton cups (shaped & baked in the MMP) filled with yogurt and fresh berries. I can't thnk of the name of the recipe and I'm not sure if it's yogurt in the actual recipe but they are yummy either way.

Apple Berry Salsa and Cinnamon chips.

I make a BLT dip with greek yogurt (so its high in protein), tomatoes, lo-cal ranch dressing and bacon in the MFP. Serve that with MCM chips sliced on #2 with the simple slicer and you'll KILL IT! ;-) GOOD LUCK!

I do tortilla chips all the time! I've switched from potato chips to tortilla chips cuz I never had luck getting it right at a show. I use my pizza cutter, cut in half then in strips and a large tortilla fits perfectly on the mcm. 1 tray=1 and a half to 1 3/4 minutes, 2 trays is about 3 minutes. They're awesome! And tortillas tend to be sturdier than the bag tortilla chips so they don't break off in the salsa.

PC just addressed this on their FB page in reply to a comment: "yes you can make yummy tortilla chips with your Microwave Chip Maker. Use corn tortillas and brush with a little oil if you like and finish with a sprinkle of salt or your favorite rub. Depending on your microwave the chips may take around 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Enjoy!"

I have a customer asking if we can do banana chips with the microwave chip maker and about how long they take. I don't own it (yet) so I wasn't sure what to tell her. I told her I would ask some fellow consultants and get back with her by the end of the day. Thanks!!!!

 

[ChefPeg]

I don't know either but I think the banana chips you can buy commercially are really plantains.

 

[ChefMommyof3Boys]

That's good to know! So maybe try plantains instead of bananas? I need to just purchase it to try it! Thank you so much Peggy!
