Baked Potatoes

[jambuttie]

How long would you cook 4 large baking potatoes for??

It's a gas cooker I have too.

Its been ages since i have done these and seem to have forgotten.

in the oven I think it would be about 1 1/2 hours but I haven't done them in the oven for ages

sure someone else will be along in a min, my useless bit of guessing can act as a bump lol

Have you got a microwave? I cook them for 15 minutes in microwave and then 3/4 hr in the oven.

In just in oven probably 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

an hour, hour and a half max.

I do have a microwave but think they are far better in the oven!!! yummy!!!!

Nice crispy skins too

my DH cooks them in the microwave first then rubs butter into them, sprinkles with salt and pops them into the over for 15/20 minutes.

Quick and crispy skins.

i do mine 1h 20 mins in the oven, rubbed in oil and bit of salt, wrapped in alu foil.

i sometimes do that too, whatkatydidn'tdo. not quite as nice but pretty darned good for 20 mins work.

1-1.5 hrs I normally go for about 1.5 but put them in as soon as I turn the oven on sometimes put them in a at a lower temperature for 2 hours if it's a weekend cos it means I can squeeze a couple of drinks in at my local then come back and dinners all ready!

thanks folks

I put them in at 2pm on gas mark 4

rubbed olive oil onto them and a little salt. Hubby finishes at 4.30 I leave for work at 5.30 so should be a yummy tea

after three hours in the oven they should certainly have crispy skin!

Ditto TheArmadillo ... I cook them for 15 minutes in microwave and then 3/4 hr in the oven & they still go crispy
