Cooking is Bullshit

We bought a special microwave tray and cutter for the express purpose of making homemade potato chips and it’s bullshit. The tray isn’t very large. If you were going to make the equivalent of a bag of chips, it would take about eight passes through the microwave. A single tray serving isn’t enough to feed one person.

The 3-4 minutes suggestion (depending on your wattage) is bullshit too. There’s literally no setting or time in which it takes less than four minutes to cook them without them ending up limp and soggy like you on your wedding night. Cooking them longer to make them crispier makes them burn. So you either have charcoal chips, or limp-dick chips.

You’re not supposed to use oil, or salt either, because it’s healthier that way, so they still taste like an Irishman after. Potato chips don’t taste like potato chips unless they’re greased to hell.

Long story short, the house smells like burnt potatoes. Sweet potatoes, actually.
