crisp packet in oven

15 Answers

my daughter says that if you put a crisp packet in the oven, it will shrink and harden. She says all her friends at school have done it and so she wants to too.
Has anyone tried it and if so, what temperature and for how long?

We used to hold it over the fire with a pair of tongs. Made an excellent badge.

Best to do it under a grill on a low setting. They tend to curl up and stick to themselves unless you watch and stop that from happening.
We used to put a safety pin through them before shrinking - the bag would shrink down onto it.

We had a "Monster Munch" gang at school and used to do this, best way was under a grill. if you didn`t wear the badge you had to buy 10 Benson & Hedges

In Australia we have plastic currency notes and it works for them too.

another good one is to put yoghurt pots in the oven at a low temp, they start to collapse back into a disc (which is how they start off) with the graphics all compressed in a ring, if you then take it out and put a weight on it, you end up later with a yoghurt pot coaster. They make discs and print the graphics in a compressed ring then blow them into the finished shape!
