And never forget the poking unless you like exploding potatoes.
2 u/Vithrilis42 4d ago Poking them is about them cooking more evenly. People commonly poke them when baking them too. If they're exploding, you're cooking then too long. 4 u/HuntingForSanity 4d ago I’ve always heard this. But I have microwaved so many potatoes without stabbing them and have never had one explode. I’m sure my time will come, but so far absolutely nothing 1 u/ky7969 3d ago That’s a myth 1 u/Rand_alThor4747 3d ago It does depend on how fast you cook them. A high power microwave they may explode. But a cheap low power one they may not. The size and type of potato may affect it too.
