Can we use for doin potato chips? Paper Thin one?

Yes, it would be good for that. As you learn to use it, you'll find that regardless of the setting you choose, the thickness of the cut can vary as your pressure varies. Uniformity comes with practice. This is not a precision device.

Yes, it has three thickness setting and the thinnest one comes out very thin like those Lays chips. The quality of the product is good too.

They work best with firm vegetable, potatoes, sweet potatoes/yams, carrots, beets, etc. I haven't tried fruit, but apples are supposed to work well. If you search online for veggie chips you can find lots of recipes and suggestion You slice the vegetables very thinly, using a mandoline works best, and microwave in a single layer without overlapping the slices 7 or 8 minutes. You can stop the micro and let out the steam and keep adding minutes as needed but you do have to watch it, especially in the last few minutes as they can go from perfect to burnt quickly. You can mist the chip makers or the chips with a little olive oil or other healthful oil if you like but it isn't necessary as the chips don't stick. You can also sprinkle salt or other flavorings on the chips before you microwave them. I find using them one at a time works better than trying to do them in two layers at once. Wash with soapy water after use, rinse well and dry.

I'm not sure but I do not think food from a frozen state would crisp in the microwave because there is too much moisture. The potato and veggie slices must be dried with a paper towel/towel prior to placing on the chip maker.

The cuisinart does not come with the 1 or 2 mm slicing disc they have to be purchased separately. The 1 mm slicing disc only fits the cuisinart DLC-XP which is the 20 cup model. The 2 mm is pretty thin like 1/16" which is really thin but not Lay's Potato chips thin. I think it would be okay for potato chips. I bought my 2mm from thegourmetdepotco.com. As for the potato, you can drop in a whole potato but the size is limited by the size of the feed tube. If it's wider than the feed tube it has to be cut to fit. Also, since potatoes are never uniform in size, if you plan to process more than one at a time, you may or may not be able to get more than one in the feed tube without having to cut at least one of them. That has been my experience. Update: I sliced a potato using the 2mm disc and baked the chips in the oven. Once the potatoes lose their moisture in the oven, they are thin. They baked up nice, crispy, and thin. After this experiment, I think the 2mm is perfect for potato chips. They baked up nice and crispy. I will have to do this more often!

Yeah, slices very thin. We sliced potatoes to around a 1/16" slices and fried them. Worked great I thought

That's the attempt but in my experience the microwave heat is inconsistent and cooks more around the edge of the chip maker platform. The food slices have to be exactly the same thickness or some will be soft and some will burn. You don't get the same consistency as you do with a dehydrator.

This is small and for wood chips and smoker type stuff.....Its for flavor rather than the food.

I guess it's kind of a dehydrator for the microwave. But the slices must be very thin to make the chips. When I use a dehydrator, I can use a much thicker slice of fruit or vegetables.

this is a strong good machine and works great. but i don't know how the shape of the potato will look like or is it going to be very small for chips. it will shred the potato no problem bc it does the carrots very well. hope this helps :)

This is strictly two racks that may be stacked for the microwave and they hold the thinlysliced potatoes that are to be baked to make potato chips. Othedr types opf veggiesmay also be thinly sliced and baked on these racks.

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

yes it could be used that way dr you can use the square cutter blades to make square fries you just have to slice your vegies the size you would like to use it is also great for making homemade potatoe salad you can dice up your eggs pickles onions and all the other things used in your salad as you know everybody has their own twist on what is added to potatoe salad but dicing your onions and sweating them on medium heat will make your potatoe salad last longer without the onions overpowering the whole dish those onions tend to take over with age if not sweating them down to pretty tender texture but like i say yes this is a very good asset for you kitchen utensils. hope you enjoy it we sure do enjoy ours vegetable sour is a cooks best help the norco big mouth slicer, chopper have a great day

You can. But, I wouldn't try cutting anything extreamly firm because you may chip it.

Only if you want very thin matchstick type fries. I haven't actually used sweet potatoes but with regular white potatoes I cut them and they got smaller as they baked.

I think you would have a problem with something as thick as a penny.The punch is great but for a penny I would use a drill.

Seems we're all desperate for an answer to this question. I just purchased an 11-cup Cuisinart food processor and would love to be able to make potato chips with it. I guess I will have to call Cuisinart to find out. But, according to other reviews about Cuisinart products, their customer service is dismal, so it might take a while to get an answer. I'll let you know if I find out.

It does not have thickness options and it probably would not slice thin enough for potato crisps. I would suggest a mandolin for that.
