Jacket potatoes?

[BubbleBoy12]

Hi,

Posting for traffic, how long do you cook your jacket potatoes for?

I'm not gonna lie, I usually buy them frozen and microwave them so just looking to see what everyone else does

Thanks x

I put mine in the air fryer for an hour on 200. Absolutely perfect and fluffy. Don’t prick them or anything, just in as they are.

Hour and a half on 190 for me!

220c for an 70 mins. Don’t prick them! Cover in oil, salt and pepper.

I put mine in the microwave for a few minutes each side then in the oven 10 mins each side.

I give them a wash and stick them in the microwave for 10 mins or so turning once. Skewer to check soft in middle.

Then whack it in a super hot oven till the skins all baked and yummy usually about 20 mins.

Not as nice probs as one done totally in oven but still very nice and when I want a jacket I'm impatient

Now googling air fryer!

Great minds, revolution!

I have tried not pricking but had a few explosions! How can you stop that? Baked spuds are my favourite dinner.

Yes, you do need to prick them. My Grandma had a very nasty accident when a jacket potato exploded in her hand as she lifted it from the oven. The steam inside will be the same temperature as the oven, so if you want to have 200 degree steam blasting uncontrolled into your face, crack on.

Wash, prick, in oven 180 for an hour minimum.

Microwave then 20 mins in oven on high heat

Pricked, lightly oiled and salted then wrapped tight in foil. Piled up in the slow cooker for 4 hours high/8 hours low. Perfect easy dinner after a long winters day at work!

10 minutes in the microwave and 15-20 minutes in a hot oven (gas mark 8), with skewers through usually.

In the combi microvave, microwave and oven on full blast together, two pricked big ones done with crispy skins in 14 minutes.

Thanks everyone xx

Stick a metal skewer through the middle.
