Flip A Switch, Dip A Chip

Tired of shelling out big bucks at the supermarket for greasy, salty snacks? Maybe what you need is a good Micro-Chip.

No, we’re not talking about upgrading your computer. The Micro-Chip, from K-Tel (of TV commercial fame), is a gadget that lets you make crunchy, fat-free potato and tortilla chips right in your own microwave oven - and decide for yourself how much salt and other seasonings to add.

And if you’re feeling particularly healthy, just pop on the lid and the Micro-Chip doubles as a vegetable steamer.

Price: $14.95-$19.95.

Available: ShopKo and Target stores.
