How to Cook a PERFECT Microwave Baked Potato

The OLIVE OIL METHOD is superior to other baked potato cooking or microwaving methods.

Watch this instructional how to video and enjoy perfect microwave baked potatoes from here now on.

Thanks for watching!

OTHER METHODS

Easier and less time consuming that using the fork method to poke a million holes through the potato in order to cook evenly.

Another popular method is covering a potato with saran wrap or plastic wrap and microwaving. This locks in moisture and cooks well BUT you are allowing TOXIC plastic compounds to be leached into your tater!

Making slits with a knife sometimes works well but it often dries out the potato significantly.

Update: I used this method to cook my potato for supper and it was the BEST microwave baked potato I've ever had. Thank you!🥰

I don't understand why everyone think that if you don't poke holes in potatoes they will explode. It's the first time I'm reading this here in the comments. I microwave my potatoes for years now without doing any of this stuff. No holes, no bag, no oil nothing. But I'm going to try the oil now in case it helps the potato stay more hydrated. That's what brought me here in your video in the first place.

I've done this and it works perfectly every time! I put the potatoes in for 5 minutes each side. Thanks for the tip!

I did this today. The olive oil method worked great. However, if you have a really good microwave all you need to do is choose the potato option on your microwave and it will cook it thoroughly without needing to turn it around. My microwave has the option to cook 3 potatoes at the same time.

Just found these instructions and they worked great. You might need to adjust cooking times just a bit, depending on the size of your potato but I tried it for the first time, even cooking two potatoes at once and they were delicious! Thanks for this excellent tip!

Thanks for keeping it short, getting to the point. Making it tonight after seeing this. Yes I usually poked. NO MORE, Thank You!

[truthseeker]

Going to try this today.
Thanks Bro.

[crystalheart]

Thank you, I'm going to give this a try!🥔

Thanks for posting this, worked perfectly (no need to poke holes, as you said) It did 'hiss' but I figured if it exploded it would at least be contained. That did not happen, tastes great.

Thanks Doc, It came out really nice and delicious. Thanks, Bob.

I have done this so many times and it worked perfectly every time. However, I never expected this recipe come from such a handsome man. Ouch, pinch me now!

Cut one end of potato flat and sit it in microwave that way you do not have to flip it over.

[mutabor]

can i use any other type of oil like canola or sunflower oil?

[jcalberta]

Excellent. And all done without any swearing.

[KuptisOriginal]

But how do you know how long to set the time for with the wattage of the microwave? BTW... what's the wattage of the microwave you're using?

[victoke]

dont stick fork all around.. a small knife prik at each end will protect from explosion and keep moisture in.. usually a cooked potato will temp from 210-220 F

[truthseeker]

Update: I do this all the time now!!!!

[kishu]

I feel like if i do this my potato will explode😂
