    I used sliced Emmental cheese from the deli. I put the whole slice on a piece of parchment paper and microwave it for 1 minute (no drying out first). The cheese does not melt and spread out. What you end up with is a slice of cheese crisp the size of the slice you started with. Delicious. I made three last night and ate them as a side with the cheese burger I made.

    I use about an ounce of shredded Mexican Blend cheese (not all brands work well), spread out evenly in a circle on parchment paper. I microwave the cheese 2 minutes 30 seconds, at 50% power. The result is a crunchy cheese crisp that I love. It took some experimentation to get the right combination of cheese, time, and power level. The best part for me is, it does not take two days! There is some oily residue, which I wipe off the parchment paper so I can make two more crisps for my afternoon snack.

    A few weeks ago after your first video, I looked for the rinds but couldn't find any so we bought a wedge of parm and also the large fresh shreds of parm, I cut some of the wedge pieces up into little tiny cubes and I dehydrated them in my dehydrator for about 4 hours on like 80 degrees and those things were rock solid. When I microwaved them, the 60 seconds, they were a little puffy but also had some burnt to them. But instead of tossing the rest that I dehydrated, I put them in a ziplock baggie and put them in the fridge for a couple days, then i tried them again and to my surprise they worked! I guess getting a little more moisture into them from the fridge did the trick. As for the sheds I bought, this seemed to be the perfect thickness and they worked rather well also except they were not as puffy. And Steve, you don't have to explain yourself in your videos, there are a million youtubers out there and there is bound to be repeated content, but for someone like me...I don't watch all those others so when I see it on your channel it was the first time I ever saw it. 😀

    I make awesome cheese crisps every week. The KEY is using ultra thin slice SHARP CHEDDAR which you can buy in the store sliced that why. Again the key is Sharp Cheddar. I cut each slice by quarters. Put on parchment paper for cookie sheet. Before I put them in I sprinkle them with every thing bagel I get from Costco. Temp at 250 degrees for about 20 min. Key is to wait until they are darker and will be very crispy when they cool.

    I don't think I've ever run into a recipe that called for enough Old Bay (or Cumin) for my tastes. Likewise, I don't recall ever thinking that I over did it with either one! 😁I usually just place small "piles" of various shredded cheese on a pan with parchment paper, then sprinkle on miscellaneous (whatever I grab) seasoning, and pop them into the oven until they start to brown around the edges. Never crossed my mind to "age" the cheese in the fridge for a day or two. (I can't plan that far ahead with snacks!) But, I WILL experiment with the microwave! Thanks Mr. Steve!

    Have you tried shredding your own cheese and doing it? I normally just use my food processor and a silicone muffin pan for cheese chips to form circles. I always get oil from cheddar. For mozzarella sticks I usually partially freeze them then shred it in my food processor. I do it because it’s usually cheaper when I find it on sale 2.25 lbs for $6 and isn’t part skim milk so less carbs and the regular fresh mozzarella is expensive and I don’t know how it would shred. The shredded mozzarella melts well for other things I’ve tried it on, but haven’t tried it for cheese, possibly shredded Parmesan would make a nice crispy chip

    @ArchaeanDragon Год назад

    Different cheeses have different moisture levels and how well they retain moisture in general. You might try simple air (no heat) dehydration settings. As you know, the oil separates from the proteins with heat (from your Sodium Citrate in Cheese Sauce video), but that is also affected by the moisture level as well. I haven't confirmed this but I think that when you heat cheese too quickly, the water boils and causes the proteins to become hydrophilic (which probably means oleo-phobic), and they can't hold the oils anymore, so even after the water has boiled away, the oil has already been separated from the proteins, thus you get nasty oily chewy glop. However, if you can get the right amount of moisture to start out with, the oil doesn't separate as badly.
    Also, you might try experimenting with different power levels in the MO, or varying it over the length of cooking. Finding the right amount of moisture, heat level, and cooking time I think will be the main parameters to control for.
