lower the cooking time. Try 3 minutes and add time if needed, feel the
potato and if it is soft, don't add time. Feels hard a little time.

Subject: [CnD] A question about microwaved baked potatoes
Hello all,
I really need some help from some of you more experienced cooks out there.
I feel like this is a really dumb and very basic question, but I'm going
to ask it anyway because apparently I'm doing something wrong and I need
to find out what it is. I am not an experienced cook but I'm not a
beginner either, and there are a lot of things that I can do in the
kitchen and do very well. But something I would like to do very well and
can't seem to is make baked potatoes in the microwave. What I've been
doing is picking out a potato, and it's usually a kind of small or medium
sized potato. I poke holes in it all over with a fork after washing the
potato off under running water. Then I wrap the potato in a paper towel
and microwave it from between 4 and 5 minutes. What keeps happening for
some reason is that the inside of my potato mostly gets done but a very
small portion of the potato becomes very tough and very difficult to eat.
Like...very hard to chew. Most of the rest of the pota
to is okay, but what I want is to be able to eat the whole potato, not
just most of it but all of it, I don't like wasting food in any way. So
could someone please tell me what I might be doing wrong and what I could
do differently to perfectly bake a whole potato in the microwave?
Thanks in advance,
Brittany
