Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 DH spotted a thread for this on the GYO forum and a few people have sung its praises, just wondered if anyone here had one and if you think it's any good. I adore beetroot and parsnip crisps but they're not cheap so was thinking of buying one of these but wondered if it was worth the money??? http://www.tokyomango.com/tokyo_mango/2007/02/microwave_potat.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I tried one many, many years ago. I was so thrilled to have it and diligently sliced potatoes thinly etc. But the result was terrible, most unappetising. I threw the rack away and never bothered again. That must be 15 years ago, so maybe things have improved since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just didn't work...it was like eating thin slices of wood. It went to a charity shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 think we might pass on that then. Seemed like such a good idea, oh well Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I only tried it with potatoes. Parsnips and beetroot might work better??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 we also had one some years ago, but despite a few atempts we didn't manage to produce anything that was worth eating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
