Microwaved potatoes

[SVL No.17100055]

Just tried some, they were amazing! I chopped them in half and put them in the microwave for about 7 minutes. The peel was dry and the chopped halves became hard like skin, but the inside was fluffy, soft and VERY tasty! Easiest meal I've ever done!
If I don't chop them (so I don't get the "skin-like" sections) is it going to cook a lot slower?

Just stab them a shitton with a fork to let the steam vent and then cut them in half. Also your microwave should have a potato setting, it regulates the power output so it's not just nuking the absolute shit out of them. They come out way better.

To be clear since you don't seem to understand how cooking a potato works:
Stab them with a fork, then microwave, then cut in half.

My microwave doesn't have a potato setting, but I set it on medium-high. I'll search about it.
Also, can I just stab the 2 longitudinal ends with a knife? A guy on youtube did just that.

Is your microwave from 1955 or something?

[SVL No.17100090]

>>17100081
It is a simple microwave with heat settings. It has Defrost, low, low medium, medium, medium high and high. My grandma has a microwave that might just be from 1955 and, believe it or not, it has potato setting. Mine is simply different.

Your microwave is dumb.
Also it might actually cook a little faster, it's hard to say. You're basically steaming it so keeping it whole should help it retain more moisture. Stabbing it in both ends with a knife should be fine, you just want some vent holes so the steam doesn't explode the skin off.

Thank you very much! I appreciate both the microwave bullying and the knowledge.

What ? Mine have watt settings and that's it. It's a recent model btw.

You're too excited about this.

You don't understand! It's the simplest meal and it tastes amazing! It's easy to make, cheap and not bad for you! It's all I was looking for, all I could ask for!
For so long I've been searching for recipes without salt/oil that taste good and I finally found it!

You can nuke frozen veggies too. But a quick meal with potatoes, buy the little golden ones, wash and stab with fork. Nuke on 5 high in covered but not shut container, shake and nuke another 5. In the meantime fry up some peppers, onions, and kielbasa. And paprika, pepper, oregano, salt, and the taters. Easy peasy.

Wait, no salt? But potatoes love salt. Like, a trick if you oversalt something is to drop in raw potato.

I do like the small ones, they are rarely bad. They are also the cheapest I can find. Sounds like a very tasty recipe, though some of these stuff; I don't buy.
>>17100679
I don't use salt because I want to make a change. We are eating more salt than we are supposed to, maybe, I don't know. I just believe that a bit deprivation will do good.

You can probably sub out whatever protein you want and switch up the spices. Main point is it's easy, pretty cheap, and filling.

Microwave is good enough, but only as a last resort. You get superior texture and flavour in the oven. Rub with oil and salt, pierce in a few places and bake in a hot oven, leaving it exposed, for about an hour.

The oven is more expensive, but you must be right. The results must be top quality.

No fucking way I'm turning the over on for an hour in the summer for a goddamn potato. It can get in Chef Mike and be grateful for the privilege.

Where are you people finding these microwaves? Are you European or something

[Anonymous No.17102204]

>Are you European or something
Yes.
There is also a button spin/don't spin. Having "recipes" settings is hilariously stupid, it only has power levels from 0 to max like any cooking device...

Microwaved potato’s are great. When it’s done make sure the tater is equal parts potato, butter, and sour cream

I don't even know where to begin explaining how stupid you are

that is an absolutely disgusting amount of sour cream

You do know inverters and programmable microprocessors exist, right?

I ate a dead potato yesterday night, you were probably just unlucky. Try again.

[Anonymous No.17105447]

>>17100055
I just stab them with a fork and shove them in, but I don't keep them in there for so long that their skin gets hard. The opposite for me, I try to time it just right so that the peel comes off really easily, you just peel it away with your hands. And then I just make a mash out of the peeled tatos. It really is nice, tastes a lot better than boiled and much easier to do than baked

I want to eat out his AIDS ridden mutilated cock. More than anything. In front of his already mega cucked waife. I'll spit whatever's between my teeth out into a pan after and maybe get a nice meal.
