Jacket potato for lunch

[Biscuitz1]

Just really annoyed right now as someone from work believes it is perfectly appectable to put a potato for 15 mins in the microwave!

There is already a queue as it is.

Is it acceptable to post this crap? Some of us don't have access to a microwave at work and if they microwaved a jacket for that long it's either gonna be burnt or it's a massive potato

ACCEPTABLE

I don't have a microwave, but is 15 minutes normal? That sounds a lot. Depending on how many staff there are, could there be a second microwave put in?

Was just about to say, no way does a medium jacket potato take 15 brimming minutes to cook.

If you stab it a few times with a knife and wrap it in a piece of kitchen towel, 5-7 mins tops! maybe 8 mins if you put a small pot of baked beans in at the same time.

Can employer get a second microwave? I worked in a school and frozen ready meals were frowned upon as they took ages to cook. If you left microwave unattended and it finished then your meal left on side whether it was cooked or not 😂

it’s not good for a shared workplace where everyone has break at same time. Speak to them about how annoying it is and could they get a smaller potato if it’s taking 15 mins. I mean it must be a massive one or they are overcooking it.

speak to management as well or just bring a cold lunch!
