Kat Berry: "Small layer of chips at bottom of cooking tray/bowl, sprinkling of cheese, another layer of chips, layer of cheese. Keep going until you run out of chips and cheese. Stick it in oven for 10 minutes, then if you're felling extra cheeky pour some Bisto Gravy over it, curry sauce is also a winner too."

Lynne MacDonald: "Grate cheese straight from fridge then leave it out to sweat, timing depends on weather/time of year. Strong cheddar good for saltiness. Layer chips then cheese ending with cheese. Bung under grill. Add anything else you like to season and dips."
