Make potato chips
Say more?
Make thin potato slices (use a mandolin if you have to)
Soak the slices in cold water for 10-15 minutes, then pat them dry.
Season with your weapon of choice (I prefer sea salt)
Lay them on a paper towel and place in microwave.
Heat the slices on HIGH for 3 minutes, then flip and heat them on HIGH for another 3 minutes.
Voila! Potato chips for one (unless you have a microwave the size of a small football field).

During the very brief time we owned one it made an excellent proofing box for bread but once I found a proofing box second hand, I passed the microwave on to a friend who will actually enjoy using it.

Trying a microwave rice recipe in the NYT .
Too see if itâs as simple, better, less clean up as promised.
I think this MW has at least 1000 watts, and their rice recipe calls for 155 minutes.
ETA 15 minutes
I donât usually use this brand. Actually I donât cook rice much anymore, but husband eats rice daily.
There are several online; I chose this one from NYT because I could cook one cup in a microwave pot I have, but it didnât turn out as simple as planned.
This recipe is one of those that requires rinsing rice, which I think could throw the 2:1 ratio off, but instead all the water was gone in 10 rather than 5 minutes.
I added a bit more and finished the last five minutes with the top on, fluffed a little, then let sit covered. Not perfect but okay.
Some other "recipes" want much larger cooking vessels.

155 minutes? Wouldnât a rice cooker or stovetop be much faster?

It does give you a LOT of time to have fun while the rice cooks 
If you find editing your posts fun! But seriously, I was hoping to convince husband to cook his own rice. He used to use a microwave product, but doesnât like it anymore. 
Oh, HA! I honestly wasnât sure, as I am def not the rice cooker in our house. The⌠rice cooker is.
15 min ainât bad, tho.

If I already shared this, sorry. Put popping corn in a paper bag and nuke it until it stops popping, no oil required. Save money, save calories, watch movies.

Yeah but how do you get any seasoning to stick on that dry popcorn?
You put melted butter on it

That would defeat the purpose of saving calories
I pop mine on the stove top in ghee.

An extremely fine salt like Bex gets into the crevices quite nicely. If I want more sticking power, Is sprinkle the popcorn with Cholula or Old Bay hot sauce.
