Kettle Studio Chips Review – 5 Flavors Of Kettle Cooked Chips

What are kettle cooked chips? How are they different from regular potato chips? The significant difference between kettle cooked chips and traditional potato wafers is the way they are cooked. Regular potato chips are cooked continuously on a converter belt, while kettle-cooked potato chips are cooked in batches. These are not uniform in shape and are thicker and sturdier in comparison. We reviewed five variants of Kettle Studio Chips to check for the intensity of flavor and crunch. Here is what we thought about them!

We divided the chips into two categories according to the flavor and type of seasoning used – Mild and Spicy. After a blind tasting session of all the flavors of Kettle Studio Chips, we decided on the winners.

Why did we choose Kettle Studio Himalaya Pink Salt as our Top Pick (Mild)? These are plain salted chips. The salt seasoning is very balanced and isn’t overpowering. The Himalayan Pink Salt Kettle Cooked Chips are thick cut and extremely crunchy. A versatile bag of salted potato chips that would pair extremely well with any dip, be it a plain yogurt dip or a spicy chili cheese dip.

Why did we choose Kettle Studio Sweet Chilli With Lime And Basil as our Top Pick (Spicy)?

The moment we opened the pack of these kettle cooked chips, we got a sharp chili kick. As the label suggests, the sweet-chili flavor comes through wonderfully after a few bites. The mild balance of sweet and chili, almost peppery flavor, is delicious. In the end, there is a subtle basil and lime flavor that blends well. None of the flavors overpower the other. The crunch of the chips and the flavors that marry each other beautifully made these kettle-cooked potato chips our Top Pick.

Flavor notes – You get a fiery, strong chili kick as soon as you open the bag of Kettle Studio Chips. We could clearly smell lots of paprika. We found them to be a tad bit over seasoned. 

If you compare it to our Spicy Top Pick, they were spicier than these. The chill flavor of these kettle-cooked chips are not as spicy but definitely have a chili flavor that is very unidimensional.

For someone who likes vinegar flavored chips, the acidic taste of vinegar delivers.
