Can anyone kindly tell me the correct time and settings to microwave a
sweet potato weighing 425 grams? (Smallish microwave oven)

Thank you

Wash it, and nuke it for several minutes (the same time as a similarly
sized Irish potato) until it's soft when you stick a fork in it.

They're not as good as when baked in a real oven.

That's what I do. Then I split them open, add butter and put 'em back in the
nuker for about a minute

No, they're not but they're pretty good nuked.

Many thanks, Bob and Bob (2 Bobs; that's a coincidence!) for the quick
response... I'll try what you said. Sweet potatoes are a bit of a
rarity here in England. The average person here hasn't got a clue how
to cook 'em..

I just place mine into a heavy ziplock bag with a bit of water and nuke
a medium one for about 8 minutes.

If they are not quite done, I nuke 'em some more, about 1 minute at a
time.

I prefer mine pressure cooked now. :-)
Baking them dried them out too much.

Steaming is the way to go I reckon - nothing wasted, nothing lost - cooks to
perfection

Wrap it thickly in a kitchen towell. Microwave on Hi, 4 minutes per side.
Caveat, microwave ovens vary drastically in power output. My old
Kenmore had 650 watts. Potatoes of ~1 lb needed 4 mins/side. My
present machine with 1200+ watts needs 3min or less/side. My machine
will burn the towell if I don't pay attention.
