FAQs

Why are my parmesan crisps not crispy? ›

If your baked parmesan cheese crisps turn out chewy instead of crispy, it's most likely because too much parmesan was added to the baking sheet and they are too thick to crisp up correctly. Make sure you're making thin layers.

What makes chips more crispy? ›

Cooking at a farily constant and high oil temperature, around 350°F/[177°C], heats the slices so rapidly that the starch granules and cell walls have little chance to absorb any mositure before they're dessicated and done, in 3–4 minutes. The texture is therefore delicately crisp and fine-grained.

What to do with the ends of parmesan cheese rinds? ›

Have you ever made a soup or pasta sauce and wished it just had a little something-something extra? That's where parmesan rinds come in. Throw them in with a sauce, a soup, a stew, or stock and they'll melt (not disintegrate!) releasing just a little extra cheesy, salty flavor into your dish.

Why are my potato chips not crunchy? ›

Use floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, as these have a soft, fluffy texture. Leave in a bowl of cold water for 30min to remove excess starch. Drain in a tea towel or on kitchen paper. Make sure they are completely dry on the surface as this will give a crunchy, crisp result.

What makes Parmesan cheese crunchy? ›

The proteins in Parmesan cheese are composed of amino acids, including tyrosine. Over time, the tyrosine molecules bind together, forming small, crunchy crystals that give the cheese a unique texture. The crystals in Parmesan cheese can range in size from small, sand-like granules to larger, crunchy pieces.

How do you fix soggy crisps? ›

Place the soggy chips on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they're not too crowded, allowing for proper air circulation. Bake the chips in the preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes, turning them over halfway through the baking time. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.

How do you get Crispier chips? ›

Turn the heat up under the oil and return one blanched chip to the oil as a guide again. Once it's floating and golden the temperature should be about 180°C, which is perfect for frying and will give you chips with those all-important crispy outsides and fluffy middles.
