Well I think they only "succeeded" because the challenge was so easy in the first place.

If they make a second series let's all apply for it, and see if they can reduce our food budget!!!

I'm assuming this probably won't work but worth trying if they are going to go waste otherwise- when I cook poppadoms, I buy the dried 'raw' ones from Asian shop and then microwave them for about 30 secs a side. You can brush them with oil if you want for the true takeaway flavour but I do without so healthy.

I'm just wondering if the same system would work with prawn cracker discs or not?

I just tried these and it kind of worked! It took about 2 minutes before they started doing anything, but did start 'popping'! It didn't work too well though as they ended up burning (oops). But the bits that weren't burnt were quite nice (and stayed green and orange!)
