Greetings and Happy New Year.

I feel somewhat awkward with this question...
Me and the kitchen are not the best of friends...
I do know how to boil water but...
Can you cook a potatoe in a microwave.
I just learned how to make mashed potatoes however can you cook a potatoe in
a microwave.

Larry

Larry,

Yes, you can bake a potatoe in the microwave. It is actually very easy.
Wash your potatoe to get rid of any dirt, take a fork or knife and pierce
the skin in two or three place to let out steam so it doesn't "explode" and
make a mess, then cover it with a clean kitchen towel and "nuke" it.

Use a good plate (no paper or plastic disposable plates) because it will
get hot. I typically use a cloth kitchen towel but, paper towels work too.
If it is not "clean", you will cook what ever is on the towel itself. I
once set a cloth towel on fire that had a bit of grease or cheese on it from
prior use that caused a little excitement but, it smoked so much that I
caught it early and no damage was done other then scorching the towel
itself.

Depending on your microwave and the size of your potatoe, you may have to
experiment a little to get the cooking just right. Small potatoes cook
faster then large ones. You can take a large potatoe and cut in half to for
faster cooking. If you cook multiple potatoes (or pieces), place them in a
"ring" with nothing in the center so that they will all cook evenly. If
your microwave doesn't have a turntable, turn you plate halfway through the
cooking process. In my microwave (1300Watts), a large potatoe cooks in
about 11 minutes. Small potatoes cooking in about 8 minutes. With multiple
small potatoes (or slices) placed in a ring formation, try 8 minutes plus 1
minute for each additional potatoe.

I never really learned how to cook at home because my Mom felt the only
reason I would leave home is to get married and my wife would cook for me.
Needless to say, I am not married and living on my own. I was fortunate
enough to have some older ladies at work who I became friends with. They
"mothered" me a little and helped me learn how to cook during our "water
cooler" conversations. The other thing that helped, getting rid of the
cheap pans I had to cook with. I got a couple of really good Calphalon "try
me" pans that were thick heavy anodized aluminum and I quit offering burnt
sacrifices to the "garbage can gods" thanks to the great heat distribution
on those pans. Good pans also helped overcome the poor quality stoves in
the apartments I lived in. I also learned that properly seasoned Lodge cast
iron (like you find at Wal-mart) worked really great on those bad stoves -
it took a while to get them hot but, they heated evenly and cooked like a
dream after those old age "geezer" stoves finally coughed and sputtered out
enough BTU's to warm the pan up.

I hope this helps ;-)

General cooking suggestion: In the cooking section of any large general
bookstore, there will be cookbooks intended for college students who have
never before done their own cooking. -"This is a stove. This is a frying
pan. This is an egg."-
Most of these are at a more elementary level than cookbooks for children.

Yes. Microwaves cook food by exciting the water molecules within the food.
This creates the heat that cooks the food.

Generally the larger the potato the more steam or vent holes are necessary
to create an "even cook". I like to use a 2 tine corn holder and pierce
the potato on each end and around the circumference as well.

Let me add to this excellent advice.

First, don't be put off by getting a basic cookbook. Everyone has to
start somewhere, and you'll be a happier cook in the long run if you
learn the basics well and build from there.

Second, you'll find more potato recipes on the web if you spell it
P-O-T-A-T-O. (I'm not normally one to go around correcting spelling,
but in this case, it makes a difference in achieving your goal.)

He must have been referring to a Dan Quayle type of potato.

Nuking spuds works well, if you do it right. :-)
It works if you seal the potatoe in something. I prefer a covered
corningware with a little added water, but wrapping the spud in waxed
paper works pretty well also.

Cooking time will depend on the size of the tuber. You will have to
experiment.

You can certainly cook a potato in a microwave oven. There are
many ways to cook potatoes in a microwave oven, just as their are
many ways to cook a potato in a regular oven. Could you be more
specific about how you prefer to cook your potatoes (.e.g.,
scalopped, whole, french fried, etc.)?

The first of the two commas you flagged were used correctly. The third
comma was not necessary. One way to tell if a comma is needed is to try
the parts of the sentence as separate sentences. Doing this you will see
that both "Everyone has to start somewhere." and "You'll be a happier cook
in the long run if you learn the basics well and build from there." stand
alone as proper sentences. Thus, putting them together with "and" means
that a comma is required.

"Potatoe" isn't technically a misspelling. It's an antiquated spelling
(according to the Oxford English Dictionary). It would be like saying "ye"
is a misspelling of "the".

You're absolutely wrong.
I flagged three (3) commas.
And it's *was* used.

Another EDU poster bites the dust. I truly hope you're an institutional
lavatory monitor and not an educator.

Methinks you'd best cut your losses and quit now.

If the rule being applied is "when a conjunction connects two clauses
that could stand alone as separate sentences, then a comma precedes
it," the sentence doesn't need the second comma.

But it may also be correctly punctuated, "I'm not normally one to go
around correcting spelling but, in this case, it makes a difference in
achieving your goal." A non-essential phrase should be set off by
commas. And a serious pedant would even put another comma in front of
the "but" so it reads "...spelling, but, in this case, it makes..."

Dueling rules...

The rule is that the comma is to be used with a conjunction in a
compound sentence when punctuation is necessary for clarity.
Otherwise, it may be omitted and generally should be. The sentence
quoted here doesn't need it to be properly understood.

Actually "ye" IS a mispelling, because the revival of "ye" as in "ye
olde coffee shoppe" is based on a misreading of the anglo saxon letter
'thorn' which was pronounced as 'th' but written something like a 'y'
in manuscripts, which the revivers obviously did not know.

"Potatoe" is not a mispelling if it is placed in quotes and given as
an example of an antiquated spelling, as you have done, but any
proofreader in commercial publication would correct it without
hesitation.

I don't really see how you can cook scalloped or French fried potatoes
in a microwave oven. Please explain.

Absolutely correct. The sentence should have read:

The first two of the commas you flagged were used correctly.

The rest of my explanation is correct as written.

You can cook a potato in the microwave. Just be sure to poke it a few times
with a fork first to let out steam (you definately don't want it blowing up on
you!)

I like to butter the skin, poke holes with a fork, and give it 6
minutes, turn, then another 6.

Love the hard crunchy crust that forms.

I have always been disappointed with nuked potatoes.

If you wash a medium-sized potato, pierce 3-4 times and wrap in a
paper towel (still damp), nuke about 3 minutes, turn it over and nuke
about 2 additional minutes (not quite done), then WRAP IN ALUMINIUM
FOIL and let it set on a counter top for about 5 minutes to
internalize the heat, the potato will taste like a regular
baked-in-foil (steamed) potato.

I often do this, then pop them into the oven for the last 5-10 miuntes
while the main course finishes.

It seems to me that this is a fallacy, because it supposes that the
steam can pass through the flesh of the potato, but not through the
skin, just like frying a sausage. However I don't think this is so. In
Wal-Mart (I think) you can buy potatoes wrapped in film that you just
pop in the microwave for 7 minutes and they come out really nice
without holes. Also, I have often nuked potatoes without film or fork
holes and they do just fine with no explosions.

Yes, it is a fallacy. I have been nuking my potatoes for years without
poking holes in them. They've never blown up on me and I've nuked some
large taters.

So how many is "them"? I can see perhaps doing as you say for one or two but
it seems to me for spuds enough for a dinner, baking in the oven to begin with
would require less time and far less effort. Somehow I find you're being less
than truthful... in as you've never done exactly as you claim, you just made up
that fercocktah story so you'd have something to post.

"Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

If your potato has a ruffed up skin, then no problem. An uncovered potato
with an unscuffed skin can "pop" and make a mess. Just because it hasn't
happened to you, doesn't mean it hasn't happened to others.

The ones I had explode were smaller potatoes. I heard the "pop" and then
proceeded to clean hot potato off the microwave. YMMV

It is my understanding that there is NO radiation evidenced in the end
product. We did contact a scientist at the Livermore Lab in regarding
this problem. He wrote back that there would be less radiation that
ones is exposed to daily in background radiation.
I hope this helps you understand microwaving processes better.

Microwaves are part of the energy spectrum that has nothing to do with
gamma rays and radioactive materials. They simply cause the molecules in
a product (liquid form or containing liquid,) to increase their motion
(heat.) It has nothing to do with nuclear radiation.

A properly sealed MW is perfectly safe.

(laugh) That's what I was thinking, seems to me an awful lot of
rfc pros with credibility have had potatoes blow up in the microwave.
I don't microwave potatoes, but I would sure err on the side of
your experience if I did.

All meat is contaminated and everything causes Alzheimers.
Oh, and achiote seeds can be bought at a farmers market, then get their
bottoms whacked off and steamed and dipped in tofu. (Those are artichokes,
but whatever.)

We get it. You've convinced everyone!

Yeah, and *never* eat bacon and drink coffee at the same sitting. It
can cause cancer. ( I actually read that once, sheesh)

If you must have bacon with your coffee, use Bacos. Or you could sprinkle
your bacon with Foldger's Crystals for about the same effect.

(That effect is churning your stomach, in case you were curious.)

Preserved bacon with Nitrates is the worst of all things to eat. Coffee
isn't far behind.
Use a substitute for coffee if you must drink that sort of thing.

Try an eggplant. Then sell the oven.

BTW, I imagine the (relative) lack of consistent m'wave explosions is
that they tend to be a dampish form of cooking. Potato skins in oven
become hard and crispy, containing the steam 'till it blows the
critter apart. M'wave is more like steaming, and the skin becomes soft
and more easily permeable for interior steam to escape. YMMV,
obviously. I'm a sissy. I poke holes in the skin.
