We all know they aren't really "baked" and you know it too, so you can
ignore those criticisms. I've found, when on the road in a hotel with a
kitchen but only a microwave for an oven, this method works very well (it's
essentially what I'd do if I had a regular oven). Poke holes along the top
of the potatoes. Rub them with butter then sprinkle with salt. Don't wrap
them in anything, just put them on a paper plate. Nuke 7-10 minutes for 2
large baking potatoes; poke them with a fork at 7 minutes to test for
doneness in the center. Let them sit a minute, then eat!
