How should I cook a baked potato in the microwave?

Answer by  julyamy (25)

Make sure you puncture a few holes in the potato before cooking, otherwise you risk the chance of it exploding. Place the potato in a microwave safe dish. On average, a 7-8 ounce potato will take about 7 minutes to fully cook.

Clean your potato and poke it in several places with a fork. Place it in the microwave for about 5 minutes on a normal setting. Check to see if it feels soft, then quickly wrap it in a piece of aluminum foil. Let it set for about ten minutes, enjoy!

To cook a baked potato in the microwave, cook for four minutes on a high setting. Then, turn it over and cook for four minutes more.
