[GiRTh]

Do you do yours in the oven or Microwave or do you have your own method to share.

[RileyH]

[GiRTh]

Oven - It takes forever but the microwave just cant get it done

Oven, of course.

[rusticgal]

Short spell in the microwave...then into the oven. Crisp on the outside and guaranteed soft in the middle.

[smudgie]

Can't stand them.
However it's a few minutes in the microwave and then finished off in the oven.

I hate potatoes in any form apart from chips or crisps

[Gusto Brunt]

Oven, of course.

That's the right way but I do 'em in the microwave and they end up all wrinkled.:joker:

[Niamh.]

Oven definitely

[Livia]

I always used to do them in the oven, like GiRtH says, it's worth the wait. However, I ticked 'other', because I got one of these for Christmas:

It sits on top of my wood burner, the spuds come out perfect with crispy skin.

Thats a nice gadget. Does it cook them quicker and where can I get one?

No, it takes ages... but they taste amazing. So good in fact, that I'm doing baked potatoes tonight, now you've got me thinking about them.

You can get them online, they're not expensive, £25 ish? You can get them for 4 spuds too.

Oven unless I'm starving and cba waiting like 40 minutes

You can get them online, they're not expensive, £25 ish? You can get them for 4 spuds too.Thought they would still take ages but I still might get one they look good

[caprimint]

Microwave cus it's really quick

[GoldHeart]

Usually microwave. But haven't had jacket potatoes for a while .

[Jessica.]

Usually microwave, I don't know how to do them properly in the oven. :blush:

[LeatherTrumpet]

so that means you dont hate potatoes

:facepalm:

[GiRTh]

Usually microwave, I don't know how to do them properly in the oven. :blush:Prick them with a fork all over then rub a bit of oil and then rub salt all over the spud for a crispy skin, some will insist on olive oil but vegetable oil is good to. Stick them in a oven on top heat and wait for an hour.

[LeatherTrumpet]

oven as microwaves dont cook them properly or do the skins and the skin is the best bit

[Natalie.]

Microwave, I don't like them done in the oven

[Nicky91]

I struggle to get the skin crispy enough if I use foil. :pipe:

[Ammi]

..yeah you have to take it off for the last 30 or so minutes and the crisp will be perfect.../...Lord, men are clueless..:laugh:...

[GiRTh]

[GiRTh]

...I’ll leave that for you to cleverly work out, Girth..:pipe:...Sounds like too much fiddling about to me. I cant often be bothered to put on the oil and salt. :hee:

Microwave then oven to reduce the time

[Amy Jade]

Blast in the micro and then salt and in the oven to crisp up and then some lettuce and balsamic glaze and go :flutter:
