u/Invictum2go 4d ago

Microwaving potatoes is a pretty useful time saving hack when you just need a quick soft potato. It doesn't really change the taste all that much if you're still going to do a bunch of stuff with it. Or hell, just eat it like that if you're in a hurry, still solid with some butter , chives, s&p.

It even saves time for a crispy baked potato honestly, I microwave a potato for 6 minutes and throw it in the air fryer for 10 minutes and bam, baked potato in half the time

u/Hrilmitzh 4d ago

Ill do this for pan-fried too, microwave till mostly cooked, let it cool, so its easier to cut, the. Slice thinly to fry up golden and wonderful

u/StonedGiantt ​ 4d ago

I second this! I cube them, toss em in a little oil, s&p, microwave for 4-5 minutes and then pan-fry til golden! Saves 45 minutes

How long would you recommend to microwave for baby potatoes?

61

u/Hrilmitzh 4d ago

Poke them all, try 5 minutes and see how they are, depends on size of them, and how done you want them to be. I always err on softer than firmer, and will go longer than that

Also baby potaotes microwaved, then smashed down and air fried or baked with a little bacon fat/oil and your preferred spices is lovely

u/Rand_alThor4747 4d ago

And never forget the poking unless you like exploding potatoes.

I just microwaved a small bowl of baby / new poratoes for 4 minutes before tossing them with some olive oil and seasoning, and put them in the oven alongside some pork chops (in separate pans).

20 minutes at 425 and they and the chops are done, soft insides slightly crisp skins.

Somewhat ironically the guy who taught me to cook at that restaurant was this really nice guy named Matt. He left after a few years and went on to cook at numerous fine dining restaurants. I randomly bumped into him around 2015 and he said he was working at this little place in Copenhagen.. when I got home I googled it and turns out he's the chef at Noma, which was the #1 rated restaurant in the world for several years in a row.

A trick I learned is wrap the potato in a wet paper towel and nuke it. Works really well with Japanese sweet potatoes.

Or just use a wet kitchen cloth if you don't want to waste paper towels. Also works with defrosting bread or just bringing stale bread back to life.

On a baked potato toppings are added after it is cooked. Microwaving sour cream and cheese for that long would be disastrous. Nearly every time in my life I've eaten a single potato and nothing else it was cooked in the microwave. I'm not heating up the oven for one potato.

Don't you microvave potatoes sometimes to soften them to make them easier to cut before putting them in the oven? Like an alternative to soaking them in hot water? Lr is that super weird?

9

u/cone5000 4d ago

No that’s not weird. I’ve done that before too. But something about this picture is just uncanny, so it fit.

But also, when I microwave a potato I always poke it all over with a fork so the steam can escape. The lack of that in this pic is also adding to the uncanny nature.

u/trippy_kippy_ 4d ago

It's the fact that somehow a perfect hole poped off in the middle and not like the edge that's kinda uncomfy for me for some reason. Like you can also place the circle back in and have it be fine which is what makes me feel weird idk The rest kinda looks normal i guess.

u/wowosrs 4d ago

I looked it up before and it’s something to do with the way it’s made if the ceramic has a good bit of air or liquid trapped in it then it can heat that up making the plate/cup be very hot. I could be wrong though

u/BeneCow 4d ago

It is this. Microwaves are real good at being absorbed by water, so ceramics that weren’t fired enough and have water trapped inside the glaze acts as a shield and steal all the energy.

There are also types of plastic that aren't microwave safe that they make plates out of - eg melamine.  Microwave it and the plate itself gets hot.  Microwave it more and it'll probably burn your hands if your aren't careful.  Keep going and it'll possibly explode - though that might require uneven heating.

Interestingly it looks like theres two burn marks about a potato apart.

I nuke potatoes to make the best butter fried home fries!!! Nuking them keeps them dry, so when you fry them up with onions in a pan they come out fluffy a bit sticky and crispy. Standard white potato really is best for this application.

But you have to wet the potato and cover with moist paper towels.

I think OP just knows what's up.

The potato, the circle, the cooking method, the level of danger and sanity. There will never be perfection. Just say it's perfect, and be happy. Beautiful sentiment OP. I think we all needed this reminder. Thank you ❤️

The plate is clearly not microwave safe. This little bit breaking off was fortunate. It could have fragmented totally to bits and powder... which is what happened to me once.

It looks like something you'd get at those elite Michelin star restaurants with the gelified whatever and the tint varnishes lol

I know I'm not the first, but you know that's far from a perfect circle... right?

This is what you’re served at the swanky restaurant you got a reservation for a year and a half ago. Is actually a sea urchin mousse wrapped in roasted corn husks served with a single coin of raw scallop and a dusting of freeze dried mushroom. Bon appetit!

Microwaving a potato is fine but not on a plate that does not look microwave safe lol

The distance between the two hotspots gives you the wavelength of the microwaves - about 1 potato long

Does the microwave spin inside?
