I saw posted in the photo gallery by (Physcochef) that you can make parmesan tuilles in the microwave. Could someone please explain how to do them. I have always made them on top of the stove.

The only way iv seen them done is in the oven baked. i never thoguht of doing them on top the stove. I wouldnt think they would crisp up in a microwave.

right,
they become real crisp and nice within 12 seconds.
get a plate, cling film it and sprinkle parmesan on top of the cling film. stick it in the microwave, 12-15 secs and voilá!!!

u can also put some silicone mat and do it there, but with the plate works just as great.

thanks so much cinnamon, i can't wait to try it out.

Microwaves vary in strength...and the thickness you sprinkle the cheese will vary the time also. Ours goes on a piece of deli paper (cling film not recommended) and 90 seconds cooking time. You want it to brown slightly or it doesn't crisp up. You have about 2 seconds when it comes out to shape it if you want. As they're done, I stack the pieces of deli paper up, keeping them nice and neat which reduces breakage. I forget who shared this info, but it was on this site. I've been popping them on caesar salads for garnish now because they're so easy. I will never make them in the oven again.

Also, has anyone noticed how quickly and easily the microwave clarifies butter?

u can try using those grated parmesan cheese..an underliner/plate,parcement paper(pastry paper) & microwave..

place ur paper on the plate,the purpose of using a plate is to get the nice round shape...spread ur cheese,depending how big u want it..& microwave it..blast the tempreture..time it 10sec..i believe less than 10sec u can hear the cheese start poping..quikly take out from the micro & bend the paper while the cheese are still flexy..

gud luck..

thanks for your comments, i have tried it several times now and have found that my microwave needs 20-25 seconds, but it comes out great.

I make them on a silpat in an oven. Putting them on a plate in a microwave oven seems like a colossal waste of time. I can make close to 30 triangle crisps in 10 minutes........and that's one sheet tray and one silpat.

thanks, i will do that if i need alot of them.
