Tell ya one thing the potatoes here are much better from baking or using in a pot roast. They have a very high moisture content. Making fries or chips can be hit and miss I have found. One time crispy and light. The next heavy and oily. Drives me nuts.

Lets make this a century for chrissakes, err, I mean Jesus.

Actually a Thai friend in the village here collapsed yesterday morning, was rushed to hospital where they discovered worms in his brain from eating to much shitty raw Laab Moo.

Wrap the potato in foil and place in a BBQ or wood fire for an hour.

Microwave? Philistines!

Pierce the skin a few times and rub with olive oil & salt for extra crispy & tasty skin & bung in the oven. No foil & no bloomin' microwaves.

Microwaves are for reheating. Not for cooking. Nothing can be cooked (I mean from scratch, not reheating) well (I mean, delicious, crispy, browned, fragrant, al dente, whatever) in a microwave.

But microwaves can be used to shorten the cooking times by rapid heating...with the finishing touches put on using other means.

A common practice in many restaurants is to take a frozen steak, zap it for a few minutes and then slap it on the grill for another minute or two. Same idea with baked taters, that way the customer always gets them hot, rather that a tater that was baked two hours ago.

The potato yes, but not a steak. That would change the entire texture of the beef in my opinion. Cooked from the inside out and then cooked from the outside in. No thanks.

They wouldn't get me as a second time customer, agree with NR micro's are for reheating only.

I only use the microwave for about 3 minutes for the potato. Just to get it started. I dont consider it cooking as I too will not cook a thing in the microwave.
