I never thought about using the microwave for these, until a reader tipped me off. After a few rounds of testing, here's my advice: Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper, not wax paper. Wax paper will stick to the melted cheese like glue. Test one in your microwave to see how much time is needed for best results. My 1400-watt microwave took 25 seconds for a crispy chip. Thirty seconds made it hard and crunchy. Use the microwave option when you want a snack ready in seconds. You don't even have to mix the cheese with seasoning first...just sprinkle it on before heating. Use a regular oven for the best texture, and when you need to make a larger quantity.
