I haven't tried the pan so can not assist you there but I DO own 2 of the microwave chip makers exactly like in the advertisement you've linked to. My advice based on experience is to suggest that you save your money with these. They do make chips that are reasonable, but truly still a little...

A simple home made loaf (don't you love bread machines?) Eaten with butter and my lovely partner - Ol' Mamabear's home made lemon and lime marmalade. this with 2 soft boiled eggs. Note our very expensive matching egg -cups lol and a must for any English guy, a cuppa T, or two.

Regretfully it disappeared when she died. I'd give an arm for her wholemeal bread recipe. I think your Gran would probably prefer you to use her recipes rather than lock them away. Why not photo-copy them just as they are, and create a working book from the copies. THEN lock the original away?
