How can I make yesterday's chips crispy without an air fryer?

Our answer

Reheat chips in a single layer on a preheated baking tray at about 220°C until crisp; avoid microwaving for crispness.

Why this approach makes sense

Cooking time, temperature, ingredient order and moisture each affect the result. Altering one variable at a time makes the cause easier to identify.

Before you try it

Check food temperatures and equipment instructions rather than relying only on visual appearance.
