Fun with microwave cooking

This morning, yahoo.com had a feature story called "Healthier Chip Choices", about to get slightly less fat from eating potato chips. Below the intro sentences, there is a link to a recipe for low-fat potato chips. I click through. The recipe basically calls for you to fill a Ziploc bag with vegetable oil, dunk slices of potato in it, spread them on an oiled plate and microwave them. Sounds tasty, right? I don't know one microwave that's ever made anything crispy. Well, perhaps the Yahoo weekend staff should have read the comments on the recipe before they linked it, because they're pretty funny. Every single one of them says how much the recipe sucks, how it yields mushy, starchy potato slices and not chips, etc. Thanks for the helpful tip there, Yahoo. Keep up the good work.
