A few weeks ago I seem to remember reading that when chips had been cooked twice they lost the carbs, or maybe I was dreaming as it sounds too good to be true. However if it is correct, if a restaurant serves chips which were cooked prior to delivery then reheated when served are they ok to eat? What about oven chips - are they pre-cooked then reheated?
It would be really great if it was possible to enjoy a couple of chips once in a while.
 
dreaming. I'm afraid
but they do stay crunchy, if you cook them till they float, then cool them down and recook when you are ready

no reason why you can't enjoy a couple of chips, you can't enjoy a pound of the little *******
 
I remember reading that (some?) carbs when cooked all lowed to cool down and then reheated, undergo a change in chemical composition that turns them into a kind of starch that is resistant to human digestion. Anything we can not digest, does not enter our blood stream and passes straight through the other end.

Never tested the theory though. Generally do not like reheated food much less food that has been cooked twice, but I would be willing to try if it meant having chips without paying the glycemic price! :-)

resistant starch is cold potato, but when warmed again to goes back to normal, worth a google, you can get potato starch and drink with water for healthy bowel bugs
