Slimming for my children
Where have i gone wrong?
Its all hard.
I am eating it but not enjoying it!
I like it in the oven as I like the outer shell crispy!

I microwave mine until they just start to go soft (heating up oven on v hot setting in meantime) then stick them in the oven for about 10 minutes.
Done quickly but still crispy.
 
yea lol definatly on!
It was on the highest setting too!
Oh well its eaten now and i will do as the others suggested next time!

I tend to cook on a more moderate temp, like Gas Mark 5. But giving it a zap in the microwave for 5 minutes then baking in the oven is good. Cuts down the oven time and you still get that oven cooked taste and dry crunchy skin. Mmmmmm...
 
Lol....crunchy jacket potatoes...not nice!!!

I tend to put mine in the microwave first like everyone else. I also do my syn free chips in the microwave first too and then slice them up for the oven (I guess I'm a bit impatient!)
 
I cook mine for an hour at 200 degrees. If you cook it on too high an oven, the outside will be done but the inside will be hard.
 
I do mine in the microwave for about 7-8 mins, then spray with Frylight all over and sprinkle liberally with salt, then put in a high oven directly on the rack for about 10 mins. YUM!
 
When I do them in microwave, I wrap loosely in kitchen paper first - not sure what the logic is, read it somewhere - remember to do it but not why.

I do that too. Don't know why! Don't forget to prick the potato too before microwaving!
 
Ro laren, it comes with age,anything goes missing in our house we always check the fridge!(apart from when the dog went missing!!!)

My sister lost her kitten (in a bedsit!) It was discovered chilly but alive in the salad drawer of her fridge :gen125:

Do I have a strange family?
 
we once realised our cat was missing she used to sit in the tumble drier if the door was open !! yes you guessed it ..the drier was on with clothes and cat inside ..luckilly she was ok just a bit dizzy ...lol
 
I have one of those plastic circle things you stand your potato on to microwave its from jml i think and works.
