Default Microwave baked potato?

For those of you who are interested, there is a place out there where
you can buy frozen, fully baked potatoes that microwave in 3-4 minutes
and taste like fresh, oven baked potatoes. Check it out at
www.worldwidefoodsinc.com. Also find free recipes for baked
potatoes. These are very convenient. I have 5 kids, age 6 and under
and I use them at home often as they save me a lot of time in the
kitchen.

If you are nuking, you can nuke/bake a fresh potato too. It takes a bit
longer, but not significantly so and it'll save you a LOT of money!

I used to wrap a spud in waxed paper to nuke but graduated to placing
them inside of a covered corningware baking dish with a little water.

Works fine.

What a pathetic shill / spam post. Nuking a fresh, raw potato take a
couple minutes longer and is more convenient and of course a lot
cheaper.

I doubt that they will taste like just baked... and you can cook a
potato from raw in a microwave oven in 3-4 minutes. And a person can
bake a bunch of spuds and refrigerate for later.. in fact whenever I
bake potatoes I bake the entire five pound bag, they can easily be
reheated later but I like them cold too, I like to dice them into a
salad. Cold baked potatoes make a very satisfying and healthful snack
too, and I like them plain, cold it's like eating a piece of fruit.

But that's steamed. You cannot bake anything in a microwave oven.

I cook potatoes often in a microwave, but I'd never confuse them with
baked... I wouldn't confuse them with boiled either, boiled potatoes
are far better because they're more evenly cooked. I'll nuke a couple
of spuds (becaue it's quick and no pot to clean) but have never yet
had one that cooked evenly or any two that cooked to the same degree
of doneness.

I think you need to take a hint and snack on plain cold potatoes
instead of all that salty crap you pig out on. Potaotes are very low
calorie and high in nutrition... of course if you're gonna blend
potatoes with your ham, olives, anchovie, and tons of mayo then you're
just ****ing yourself. Well, if you can get your tits to swell
instead of your fingers... heheheh

Nothing shill about telling you guys about a good potato. This company
supplies national restaurant chains and now their potato is online.
You are wrong about it being more convenient to use a fresh potato.
Cheaper maybe but not more convenient. Who has time or wants to wash/
scrub a bag of green potatoes you get from the grocery store?

Shill, plain and simple.

Pathetic.

Anyone who has time to eat said potato has the 30 seconds it takes to
clean said potato before placing in the microwave. I suppose you also go
to those stores that assemble a ready to "cook" meal kit for you while
stroking your ego telling you that your life is too busy and your time
is too valuable to spend the 15 minutes preparing the ingredients, the
very same 15 minutes you spend at that store.

Shill.

You couldn't pay me to eat that garbage, probably so handled it's too
unclean to slop hogs... I don't want your crotch-wipe hands touching
my food.

Got plenty of time, if I'm roasting a hunk of meat for dinner anyway
takes no extra anything to bake a whole mess of potatoes at the same
time. And I bet your crappy precooked reheated/petrified potatoes are
nowhere near as good as mine... can't beat fresh dug still warm from
my very own sun kissed earth. And I've never yet lit an oven just for
baked potatoes.. only an imbecile lights an oven just to bake
potatoes, let alone just one or two.

Not out of the ground 24 hours when I ate them, reds boiled (salad),
golds baked... baked a couple heads of that home grown garlic too:

I've never tried a reheated baked potato but was the original
cooking conventional or nuking? If conventional, it might be
interesting to try.

The original is baked in an oven, cooled with a special, patented
process, and Individually quick frozen, all in a very clean FDA
approved processing plant. This is what makes it taste better than a
fresh microwave baked potato.

BTW, thank you James, it's nice to know there are some decent people
out there...

Sheldon,

I absolutely love home grown garden vegetables and your pics look
wonderful. I'm just saying that if you can't have fresh out of your
garden, (not everyone is as lucky as you), this is the next best
thing.

Default Microwave baked potato?

The key point for me here is what do people expect of a baked potato ?

If doesn't have a crunchy skin then it isn't a baked potato for me. My
other half used to "bake " her spuds in the microwave but has since
learnt her lesson.

How much more expensive are these than fresh spuds ? I think I
calculated $50 US for 10lbs , ie $5 /lb or £2.50/lb, seems way OTT

Junk food always costs more than electricity. Even here. <G>

I AM considering building a solar stove/oven tho'.
Heaven knows summer days in Texas are good for that sort of thing!

Only lazy twerps like you won't scrub a bag of fresh spuds...
If you are rich enough to eat junk food, fine.

But this list never has appreciated SPAM!!!
And it's obvious you are a low life scum spammer.

I totally agree with you on the junk food issue. You end up paying for
it in doctor/dentist bills. However, you should know that these are
all natural, with no additives. Therefore, they do not qualify as
"junk food".

I've made extra baked spuds (and yams) on the wood grill or in the oven.
They are just fine re-heated in the nuker.

But I just don't see the point in purchasing pre-cooked "baked" potatoes.

If I am time challenged (which I am during the week), I cook extra on
weekends. Both dad and I are perfectly happy to live on nuked leftovers
for a day or three.

I try not to make leftovers that last more than 3 days as we both tend
to get bored with them. I'll just go ahead and cook when I get home from
work on Thursday and Friday mornings... Things like eggs and stuff.

I believe he is referencing the price for the shilled industrial

All the shills say that.

At $38 plus shipping for 10 pounds, they are for people with more money than
brains. 29¢ a pound versus $4.70 a pound with shipping.

I can have them washed and in the oven or MW by the time you dig the frozen
crap out of the freezer. And I'll be a few bucks ahead. 29¢ a pound versus
$4.70 a pound with shipping. If you wash a 10 pound bag of potatoes in 5
minutes, you are saving $44 in minutes or equal to $220 an hour. I have to
work over a half a day to earn that so I'm not going to give it up for
pre-washed spuds.

Just this AM drove into town cause I had banking to do, and got my
mail from my POB, and gased up my guzzler, stopped at the liquor store
for a 2 litre bottle each Crystal Palace vodka n' gin (sqwertz will
orgasm), and walked next door to the local Grand Union; got a 30 can
case of Genessee cream ale, eight 2 liter jugs black cherry soda, 4
bottles quinine, and a 5lb bag of new potatoes, was on sale (if it's a
sale) $2.49... was a mountain high stack right inside the door, looks
like very nice spuds, they're those long ones... will make a lovely
batch of German style potato salad. I't too hot now to light the oven
for anything.... I don't do baked potatoes during the warm months and
not all that often during winter either, I typically buy the waxy
potatoes as I prefer them roasted... just scrub well, towel dry,
lightly oil, salt and pepper. Spread em in a big pan and roast until
toasty brown and puffed.... it's 91F and humid, but I just got a
sudden urge for meat loaf, gravy, and roast new potatoes... will have
to wait. I got left over grilled chick tiddy and squash... got about
a pound of green beans I picked yesterday too, but I think those are
slated for freezing, will be good in a
winter soup.

I ain't gonna pay anyone to roast my potatoes, that's like buying ice
in the winter.

Sorry to all of you who were offended by this post. Though it is good
to know that there was a place that I could get some honest feedback
from. Thank you all for your honest opinions. I will leave you alone

If it's patented it's protected and not secret so you'd have no
reservations sharing this special cooling process... probably has to
do with a fan and witch's tits! hehe

And frozen yet, blech!

Same here. If it doesn't have a crispy skin and a little nutty flavor it
simply isn't a baked potato.

You can certainly cook a potato in the microwave and get the same result
as famous industrial chain food restaurants but it isn't a baked potato.

Where did you get those prices for potatoes? At my local grocery
loose baking potatoes are $.89 per pound. Bagged ones are even
cheaper.

"Thank you all for your honest opinions"

You just came to the wrong place I think. Most people on here, IMHO,
think Quality first, then Price. There is a market for what you have to
offer but it's not here. pre-Baked frozen spuds belong in same category
as "Aunt Bessie's Frozen Yorkshire Puds" that I am ashamed I have a
sister that actually uses.

A microwaved potato is no more steamed than a baked one. In both cases
the heat introduced produces some internal steam.

That technique certainly works, indeed very often my use of the
microwave it to trim cooking time of an ingredient or two, like nuking
diced green peppers for a couple minutes to sync them with the rest of
the dish they are going in.

Let's see: Wash the potato, poke it with a fork a few times, stick it in the
oven. That takes about 60 seconds. Baking takes 45 minutes at 400 degrees,
during which time you can be doing whatever you want.

Are you the poster girl for laziness?

A microwaved potato is not a baked potato, so your "patented process" has
nothing to do with the taste difference.
