#BAKED POTATO IN MICROWAVE HOW TO#
Here’s how to test your olive oil to see if it’s fake, and then qualities to look for when you’re buying olive oil. There’s a myth out there about olive oil being watered down, and unfortunately that myth is fact too.And who doesn’t like a crispy potato skin? Rubbing the potato skin down with olive oil helps keep the potato moist AND makes the skin crispy.When it’s not wrapped, you’re drying out the skin and ruining the potato – unless you cover it with olive oil. When it’s wrapped, you’re essentially steaming the potato inside the foil.A baked potato is either wrapped (typically with aluminum foil) or not wrapped.If the potato is exposed, cover with olive oil A total of 4 good pokes will do the job, with a “good poke” meaning sticking the knife into the potato at least ½ inch. If you’re using a knife, poke the potato twice at each end, alternating so that if you poke the potato “north” and “south” at one end, you’re poking it “east” and “west” at the other end.That is, unless I want a broken fork or a black eye. I personally like to use a small paring knife, because for one reason or another I can never seem to get my fork OUT of the potato once I’ve poked it.For the people who like specifics, that’s a minimum of 8 good pokes at the potato. If you’re using a fork, that means poking the potato at least half-way down the prongs of the fork at each end, and all around.Have you heard the myth that if you don’t poke a potato before you bake it, that it will explode?
