    Mrs. English, I for one do not know how to microwave a potato. Get over yourself.

    I find it very funny that "Mrs. English" thinks you committed the unpardonable sin with this article! Obviously you had a lot of nerve just being born in the first place! LOL

    But they don't get crispy! I like mine in the oven rubbed with olive oil and large sea salt crystals.

    Having said that, this is easy and you've given good instructions. We don't always have time to bake the old-fashioned way.

    Yes, I find myself doing that a lot.

    I loved nuked baked potatoes! And you can make just one for an easy and healthy snack, too. I put mine in a plastic bag, though, and they don't seem to dry out as much.

    Some people don't know how to 'bake' a potato in the microwave Mrs. Know-it-All. Also, some of the older microwaves have a 'bake' setting, and using the keywords R.S. chose makes this content discoverable. I would pay no attention. It would appear that another CP has a serious issue with jealousy.

    Thanks for the info!

    Do you know what the word 'baked' actually means and why, therefore, you cannot microwave a 'baked' potato you American ignoranous with no knowledge of real English!

    Also, do you really think that other people might not know how to microwave a potato?
