Crackers can be cooked in a microwave

The missus has returned from the home country with a selection of crackers on the reasonable grounds that they are light to carry and we both like them. Somehow she managed to find some made of seaweed - making them a strong potential candidate to be one of my favourite foods.

But how to cook them? The missus' usual approach is to chuck half a bottle of my best olive oil into a pan and cook them hot and hard - until the fire alarm goes off.

I had a little experiment with shallow frying them the other day with mixed success. 

Was there an alternative approach I wondered?

One of the joys of the internet is you can type almost any dumb question in a search engine and someone will have tried it.  And so it proved true for "cook prawn crackers without oil" which turned up the following instructive video:

So we ran a side by side experiment of pan v microwave cooked and to my taste buds/texture receptors they tasted pretty similar and perhaps even better without the oil. The missus reckoned the microwave ones were a little harder. 

If you are going to try this - do keep a very close eye on any crackers you microwave as it doesn't take long to go from cooked to burnt.
