Chiply — Microwave Potato Chip Maker with Slicer
It's half eight and you want something crunchy, but the air fryer means twenty-five minutes and a greasy basket in the sink. Slice one potato, five minutes in the microwave, and you're sitting down with a full bowl before the kettle boils.
The slices stand upright and separated, so heat hits both sides instead of steaming against a flat tray.
Wattage differs between microwaves — start at five minutes, check, and add thirty seconds if the centres are still soft.
The potato sits in a guarded holder, so your fingers stay off the blade — including on the last small end, which is where most cuts happen with a bare mandoline.
Your order is dispatched within 24–48 hours and typically arrives within 5–9 business days.
You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships, so you can follow it door to door.

A bowl at half eight, with no pan in the sink
It's half eight, the house is finally quiet, and you want something crunchy.
The air fryer is right there.
It also means twenty-five minutes, a preheat, and a basket you'll be scrubbing at ten.
So you don't.
Which means it becomes the bag, standing at the counter, or nothing at all.
Neither of those is what you actually wanted.
It's what's left after you've decided not to bother — you eat the whole thing without tasting it, and then you're mildly annoyed at yourself for an evening you were supposed to be enjoying.
Every slice crisps in the same five minutes
Flat trays are why microwave chips got their reputation.
Slices lie against each other, trap steam underneath, and come out leathery in the middle while the edges go dark.
This rack stands them upright and apart, so hot air reaches both sides of every slice at once.
The slicer is the other half of it.
It's cut to one thickness, so a slice from the fat middle of the potato and a slice from the narrow end are the same — and identical slices finish at the same moment.
That's the whole trick: one potato, one round, one bowl.
No second batch of wet ones going back in while the first lot goes cold.
Crunchy tonight, and crunchy on Thursday
The first bowl is the easy one.
The reason a gadget stays out of the drawer is that it's still worth it on the fourth Thursday.
Five minutes is short enough that you'll do it on a night you couldn't be bothered.
One potato, one rinse of the rack, done.
And you know exactly what went in the bowl — a potato, a little oil if you want it, salt.
No reading a label, no doing the maths in your head while you eat.
Then you hand the bowl over, or you don't, and either way you sit down feeling fine about it.

How it works
Three steps, and the longest one is waiting for the microwave.
The potato sits in a guarded holder that keeps your fingers clear of the blade, right down to the last small end. Every slice comes off the same thickness.
Slot the slices into the rack so they stand apart instead of lying on each other. That's the gap that lets heat reach both sides and stops the steaming.
Straight in the microwave, no oil needed. Check at five, add thirty seconds if the centres are still soft, then tip the lot into the bowl.
What a bowl costs you right now
You could spend each year:
- $4–6 a bag, several bags a week — and you didn't choose most of what's in it
- 25 minutes of air fryer, preheat included, before you eat anything
- One greasy basket to scrub, every single time, at ten at night
This is $26.99 once. One potato, five minutes, and the only thing to rinse is a rack that fits in your palm.

Questions, answered
That's the honest risk, and it comes down to two things: spacing and your wattage.
The rack holds the slices upright and apart so heat reaches both sides instead of steaming them flat against a tray — that solves the sogginess as long as you leave the gaps and don't crowd it.
Wattage does vary, so treat five minutes as your starting point: check, then add thirty seconds at a time until the centres are crisp.
Most people land on their number within two rounds and never think about it again.
Any everyday white potato works, and the slicer handles the shape variation for you by cutting every slice to the same thickness.
Starchier baking potatoes crisp fastest; waxier ones hold a touch more moisture and may want an extra thirty seconds.
Sweet potato works too, just slower — the bonus guide gives you the timings for that and for beetroot, carrot and courgette.
The potato sits inside a guarded holder that you grip from the top, so your fingers stay above the blade rather than beside it.
The moment that catches people out with a bare mandoline is the last inch, when the potato gets short — the holder keeps hold of that end for you, so you can slice it down without your hand ever getting near the edge.
The rack measures 5.1" × 2.8", which is one medium potato and one snack bowl.
For one or two people that's a full serving.
If you're feeding a family or doing a film night, the two-set option runs both racks in the same five-minute round so nobody's waiting on a second batch — that's why most people take it.
It's made from food-grade silicone and plastic, built for repeated microwave use rather than being an ordinary container pressed into service.
Rinse it after each use or put it in the top rack of the dishwasher, and don't run it empty — an empty rack has nothing to absorb the heat, which is what damages plastic in a microwave.
