Just tried the cheese nuking thing.....ok I like them.....but my kids think I lost a few brain cells

I love them too. I liked them a whole lot more after I figured out how not to exploded my ceramic dishes by nuking cheese on them. LOL!

Try all different types of cheese.

Smiley and Terri, hello. I got a emson (the quick minute dehydrator for Christmas) and they make wonderful chips. I even place barque seasonings on them when hot. I make them for my snacks.

How long does it take in your dehydrater?

Hey at least I wo uldn't blow up my dishes anymore!

good morning.

I just can't seem to get the hang of nuking cheese, I always end up with chaos. so I use a non stick skillet. I do all sorts of cheeses, just shred it and spread around in skillet till melty then cool a bit and turn over to repeat. I really like the fresh shredded Parmesan this way, because then I can use it to make nacho chips or taco shells (bend while warm). pepper jack makes an excellent chip when done this way. aaaahhhhh life is good in low carb land. I have a dehydrator..how do you do the cheese that way?

I bet clean up is a whole lot easier doing it in a pan too!

I will give this way a go!

I wonder if I can make a container to hold my taco salad!

Yes, you can..using the fresh shredded Parmesan and a small non stick pan, just spread it around in the pan, melt, cool a little, turn it over, melt it, then while its warm lay it over the back of a bowl and form, let cool. its very pretty that way too, but I like to eat my taco salad on lettuce and break up the cheese as chips for salsa.
Jane

Sounds like a plan to me!

Thanks for the tips!

Jane what a great idea. I have been wanting taco salad for awhile. I will try it with the taco bowl.

Terri, I have a heating sheet that came with my dehyrator and it takes 1 minute to make six chips. You slice them real thin. I usually just take string cheese to make mine.

Don't you love lo carb? I know I do.

This was so easy! And it was great to hold a little taco salad.

Terri, What type of cheese did you use? I have some naco cheese and was wondering about using it to make the bowl.

I think Pepper Jack is a great cheese to try this alll with. after all life is an ongoing experiement. Parmesan has the ability to be neutral when you need it to be.
Jane

I used parmesean. It worked great. I think any hard cheese should work too.

I have to go to the store today. I will get some different cheeses and tell you how they turn out.

Buy a lot of the fresh shredded parmesan..you sure will use it up, it makes great crackers for soup, a perfect taco shell or bowl, and great chips for salsa.
