\nHow to make chips saltier<\/h2>\n
Obviously you can\u2019t just toss chips with table salt. The granules will just bounce off of the chips and settle to the bottom of the bowl or bag. Instead, we\u2019re going to use the power of evaporation to help us evenly salt our chips. Table salt is primarily sodium chloride, and this chemical compound readily dissolves in water<\/u><\/a>. When the water molecules evaporate, the sodium and chloride ions get together again and salt crystals are left behind on the surface. (There\u2019s an enjoyable video here<\/u><\/a> if you\u2019re into watching molecules float away.) That surface will be chips in this case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Add about a tablespoon of salt to a half-cup of water in a measuring cup. Microwave it for 30 seconds, just to warm it up. Stir the solution until all of the salt crystals have completely dissolved. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Pour the salt water into a spray bottle.\u00a0I used a Misto sprayer, which is marketed for spraying oil, but any liquid can be sprayed out of these bottles.<\/p>\n

Spray the chips generously with the salt water, but no so much that it puddles up on the pan. I only sprayed one side, but you can flip the chips to do both sides. Alternatively, if you don\u2019t have a spray bottle, you can quickly dip each chip into the salt water and lay it on the sheet pan. It takes more time, but it works. Bake the chips for five to 10 minutes to evaporate the water. You\u2019ll see little white blotches turn up on the pan\u2019s surface, and you might even be able to see the crystalline salt residue on the chips. The chips cool in no time, so you can start snacking right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not only can you season the chips to save them from the garbage, but you can actually adjust the salt level to your personal preference. One tablespoon of salt to a half-cup of water produced a lightly salted chip, I would call this my minimum salt preference. The next time I do this (because I have half a bag of unsalted chips left), I\u2019ll probably use two tablespoons of salt for my salt solution. If you\u2019re the type that thinks a regular Lay\u2019s potato chip isn\u2019t salty, maybe use three tablespoons for your spray. <\/p>\n
