When microwaves first stepped up into the kitchen scenario, they were used for three things: microwaving popcorn, warming up a cup of coffee and fixing a good, steam microwave baked potato. Up until the microwaves came out, in order to enjoy this piece of food, one would have to plan ahead and bake it in an oven for no less than one hour and that was only if you remembered to purchase aluminum foil. Today, people are able to cook a potato in the microwave and call it a good meal. Below, we are going to show you a step by step guide that will explain to you how to good one of these veggies in the microwave…
First of all, you need to wash the potatoes. Washing the potatoes is important, because they were grown in the dirt and if you do not wash them, you will have some “gritty” bites. Take a knife and pierce the potato a couple of times all the way through.
We recommend you cooking only four of these at a time. Place the potato in the microwave baked potato or on a coffee filter.
