Not Crisp but Chewy

Bought some Parmesan-reggiano and ended up with chewies instead of crisps. Not impressed by the results. Tossed them.




Cook Time!!

Note: The "snapshot" of the recipe indicates a 10-11 minute cook time, while the text states 5-6. My experience was that it was the longer time that was accurate. (Although I suppose it could be my oven...)




Expensive and horrible

These seemed to be an ideal recipe for me. They are cheesy, and low carb, but they were horrible. The cheese was VERY expensive and the crisps came out greasy, soggy and were so salty and bitter that I ate two and threw the rest out - a waste of $15.00 for the cheese alone. I followed the recipe to a T, but these were just wretched.




Yummy

I make up a few of these in lie of crakers for a no carb "craker/chip" experience as well as a substitute for croutons.

This recipe online is different that what what described on the TV show. The temperature on the TV show was 375 and cooking time was 10 minutes. the online recipe is different. Which is correct please.

I made these the other day. I put some ceaser salad in them and served them as a sidedish to spaghetti. The whole family loved them and they mix very well with any pasta w/ pasta sauce.

Definitely increase the temp listed in the recipe to 350-375 if you want these done in your lifetime. The crisps were great and my husband would eat them like potato chips if I made enough.

Alton Brown Parmesan Crisps

User: Chris from Pearland, TX    User Rating:
I tried Mr. Brown's recipe for Parmesan Crisps and the directions on the show are different from the Food Site directions. The directions watching the actual show says to bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Here are the directions that appear on the Food network: Parmesan Crisps Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004 See this recipe on air Tuesday Dec. 19 at 7:00 PM ET/PT. Show: Good Eats Episode: Say Cheese! 3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano Freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, or cayenne, optional Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Grate cheese on the small hole side of a 4-sided box grater into a small bowl. Using a tablespoon measure, place cheese in mounds onto a nonstick silicone pad or greased parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Flatten out mounds with the back of a spoon, making sure mounds are at least 4 inches apart. Season with pepper, paprika, or cayenne, if desired. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden. Hope you can make a correction and thank you. Christine Marksberry Pearland, TX 77581

Easy to make and yummy to eat. Using a better parm. cheese makes a difference too.




Nice accent to salads, soups

This is an attractive addition for soups, salads and other dishes. Very easy, and provides that professional touch. Gets those "oohs" and "aaahs" going at dinner (unless it's an 8 year old who could not care less!) Best if crumbled into the dish vs. eaten as is (that's my preference, others may like it better on its own).

I realy enjoyed making these as an appitiser with a meat ball inside. I was very easy as long as you moved fast and made 3 crisp cups at a time!

As good as this recipe is for crackers, I have found another use for this. Simply make a batch and let it set hard. Then crumble the crackers over mashed or baked potatoes. I made this for the family and it was a big hit.




What to do now?

Fabulous receipe, but what are some good ideas for filling? We're throwing a Tex-Mex party in a couple weeks, and wish to incorporate these into our menu.




Good Idea

User: Jennifer from Fairfax, VA    User Rating:
Good idea, easy recipe... but, the show is on right now and it said to set the oven to 375, not 300. Maybe this needs to be corrected on this site?




Use the good stuff

User: C. from Portland, OR    User Rating:
These come out so excellent if you use real Parmiagano Reggiano or Asiago - use the cheap stuff or domestic parm. (or, Heaven forbid, the stuff out of the Green Box) and they'll be greasy. We've made these for years (in a skillet) and called them Frico.




Yah for Cheese

Good but may take longer then 6 min. If they dont brown enough they will still be limp when they cool




Fancy Cheese Nips
06/15/2005 at 05:41pm
User: Anonymous    User Rating:
I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because these are almost exactly like Cheese Nips except prettier and spicier. This makes a great appetizer or side. They are well enjoyed by everyone and I love the spices that are added on top. I bake them at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. They are a little oily so I let them sit on a paper towel to soak up some of the grease.

User: JUSTIN from Howell, MI    User Rating:
I tried these crisps around a caesar salad once and thought they were fantastic. After many unsuccessfull tries on the rangetop I saw AB make them on TV and was excited to try them. They worked out well in either a 350 or 375 degree oven and also work great with Romano and Asiago cheese.

Very easy. Goes alot faster in a convection oven @350, maybe 2-3 minutes. Let go to a nice golden color then used thin spatula to remove from pan almost immediately. shaped into containers over a cup. Was a huge hit.

since I dont like to rely on my memory, I looked up this recipe online, and lo and behold, there was no oven temo listed; but thanks to other reviewers, and as I thought I remembered from the broadcast, its 375...now if I can just figure out the correct (indefinite) setting on my toaster oven, since thats where I attempt to cook most things..hmmm, i think I smell something's ready...!

Only complaint about the recipe is that Mr. Brown forgot to tell us to which temperature we should set our ovens... I shall now have to offer up some parmigana to the experimentation gods...
