We all remember the disappointment of enthusiastically ripping open a bag of chips only to discover that they’re not nearly as fresh as they used to be. Accidentally leave a bag of Lay’s or Ruffles open for a few hours and you’re left with a stale mess. The crunch is gone and the texture is gone leaving you longing for the product’s original state. Luckily thanks to a particularly handy kitchen appliance you can quickly restore your chips to the texture they were meant to be eaten.

GENIUS POTATO CHIP BAG HACK #SHORTS

One of the air fryer hacks you wish you knew sooner is that the appliance can revive almost anything you throw in it including a bag of old chips. So you don’t have to throw out a nearly full package because you forgot to close it. Just give the chips some time to warm up in the handy air fryer and they’ll be good as new when you take them out.

To get that addictive crunch back in your chips it really is as simple as putting the chips that need some love in the air fryer. How long you leave them in will ultimately depend on the exact model of your appliance how many chips you are using and how crispy you want them. However all air fryers work in the same way to achieve the same goal.

A good temperature to start with is 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chips in the basket or baking sheet for 1 to 5 minutes. You can open the air fryer and do a taste test every minute to see if you are happy with the crispiness of the chips. The longer you leave them in the more you will notice a change in both color and texture. A good rule of thumb is to start slowly and increase the time if necessary. Once they have had time to soak up the heat you will notice how they have returned to their original consistency and taste even better now that they are warm.
