How To Bring Stale Chips And Bread Back From The Dead
This week Reactions is looking at some chemistry/science pro-tips on how to put the crunch back to stale chips and bread. Nothing kills snack time quite like staleness. With football season right in front of us, so we wanted to offer you some pro tips on how to revitalized your stale snacks. Oh and of course, with a whole lot of chemistry for you to chomp on.

It made my chips more stale thankss
For crispy: (crackers/chips) microwave 30 secs (or more if needed) for soft (harden bread or cookies/pasteries) microwave 30 or more secs with a small cup of water next to it on the plate
Top tip: If your chip bag is foiled lined but them on plate before microwaving. Metal and Microwaves dont mix.
I have a tip for you. If your cookies (we call them biscuits in Australia) are stale, pop them in your frost free fridge for a few hours. The fan assisted condenser unit extracts moisture from the air in the fridge, including the air including your cookies. In a few hours of desiccation your oreo's are crisp again. Party Party!

I tested it. I put my stale corn chips in the microwave for 30 seconds and here are the results: They indeed became crispy. My microwave has a malfunction where the table doesn't spin, so I had to put it all on one side. I found that it is important to evenly distribute a few chips over a plate, not the whole bag at once. You don't want the chips to be laying on top of eachother for this to work. I had to microwave it in 4-5 batches to get the full bag crispy again.
Interesting and useful. Thank you.
First I did that and my chips taste like ass and I can’t even eat them
I ate my stale chips waiting for the answer thanks dude
This explains why my bread lasts like five minutes before going stale..
Awesome video!
Thanks for explaining!

Tried it with Doritos and sour cream and onion wavy out of curiosity. Still has the stale flavor.
Your are fantastic and thanks for your excellent presentation! You have save my chips!😂👍🙏
How do I refresh taco chips that have become hard? Is it the same process because my chips are not soft but they are stale hard?

2:18 This excuse works up to a point. When you're selling bags of air with a handful of complimentary air. if it _really_ needed to be a whole 86% air, why would brands vary so much, many pumping *significantly* less air in? If one brand can get away with less than half air and still have their chips remain in tact, why must another sell us 86%?

Chips (and pretty much all food) are sold by mass not volume. If you look at the bottom of your chip bag you can see the amount of chips usually given in ounces. This mass is measured in the factory before the bag is filled with nitrogen and sealed. The puffiness of the bag results in a distinct volume change but it's no difference to the actual amount of chips. If you find a brand that sells more mass for less money that's called finding a deal. It has nothing to do with a brand getting away with anything.

@@ACSReactions is the large bag necessary or is it a marketing tactic? Because id assume most people are not checking the weight on the bag so the bigger bag just makes it look like your getting more than you are, or is it a shelf life type of thing?
Well this save my chips a little crisp
I didnt ask for a fucking science lesson I just want to make my cold chips crunchy again
Does it still work or is it patched in 2021,
Burned my Pringles, then again there wasn't a lot of it
Bread may stale faster in the fridge, but it will keep it from getting moldy a lot longer. I'll take stale bread over moldy bread anytime, especially since most of the time it's going to get toasted anyway. And freezing might work great for stocking up, but who the heck wants to wait around for it to defrost to make a sandwhich?

me999 Use tge oven, or microwave to defrost it. Or put the bag in a hot water bath.
My dumb self putting it with the bag be like: 👁👄👁
I laughed when he enunciated 'tips' so much. Thanks guys :)
Just wrap up your bread And if you aren't gonna use it freeze it for later Also make sure to air out a bag before closing it

I microwave my chips and now there super hard
Thanx it worked
Thought it was the UK/Ireland version of chips, would like a solution to that!
Stellar!
My Hot Cheetos are saved!
YEAAAA RIGHT. I just put my Doritos on a plate in the microwave 30 seconds they came out tough as leather

Thank u 🙏 so must my takis are savedddddd
I dont have microwave in my house so im eating stale piattos (potato crisips here in the phiippines) while watching this
Don’t try this I tried it and it burned my Cheetos I recommend putting it on 20 or under 10 or look at them while we are cooking
Well, it works
It works like magic. U save my life 💘
The conclusion is that you should put your chips in the microwave for 30 seconds on high. Thank me later.
The last 25sec was all I cared about
You've ruined my Cheetos

it broke my microwave
I have the shittiest microwave that usually takes twice as long to heat anything and 30 secs made my tostitos golden brown. They are crispy again though lol
Tbh I was here to see HOW it would, but I somehow was interested in WHY it would.
I thought it was because chips are fried and bread is baked :/
Umm mine are cheetos and I thought it was just detail but it was expired
That bread box don't work. Bread in a dark place made it moldy faster than in light and in plastic.
thog dont caare
You say not to wrap your bread in plastic, and use a paper bag if you're going to eat in 1-2 days...what about the loaf that lasts a week? Wax paper? Help!
At 2:50
Why not throw the chips in the dehydrator for a bit
*life saver. My chipS shAll BE eatEn ! * GrAcias
Right...so my lays were stale soooooo I put them in my microwave for 30 secs and nope the middle chip got black and burned and my lungs got full of the fumes btw I did this at two am
so i thought my bag of chips were opened and stale, but it turns out they were not stale so i just wasted 3 minutes of my life
i threw the bag in there and the michael wave caught flaems.
My chips got hard what do I do
Didn't work for our potato chips:(
I l i k e s t a l e c r i s p s
wait i searched how to make my chips stale not this
MY OREOS YAYAYAYAY
Has this been patched?
@everyone you could have done this with me but noooooo you had to throw me away 😔
it kinda worked
I'm here because it's 4:26Am in the morning and I have nothing to do and I'm hungry and I want some Takis but they're stale
Just trynna save my 4 dollar bag of hot fries 😫🤣 update: need more than 30 seconds and microwave ) also when you first take them out they may still seem stale just wait to it cool down and try if still stale put it back in for about 20 sec DONT OVER COOK do yes I put hot sauce and nacho cheese and I was good 😍😫
What do I do just answer that
If I was something dryer, I use the oven. If I want something moister, I use the microwave. Why is this opposite??
what about oreos
My Takis took 1 min in the microwave
Or plot twist: Buy new chips and bread
the microwave trick didnt work. atleast with cheeze its
Skip to 2.58
Thog don’t caare
When they call bread snack food.
I just found my Doritos from yesterday so I had to look this up lol life saver
You can salvage a stale egg if you wrap it in tin foil, then microwave it on high for 30 seconds.
