Why would a sweet potato still be somewhat hard after being cooked for one hour at 400 degress? ?!
Answers:
Oven at 500 F , foods cook at 200 F if wet with water
Sweet patatoes are cured at maybe 105 F , at very high humidity !.
for weeks !.!.!.If not cured , and you try to cook S' P' or Yams ,
you get nothing !.
Many foods lose water , then cooking temperature goes up
and starch converts ,,flavor comes out !
From Cindyc40: I always pierce the skin of each sweet potato with a sharp knife and then wrap in aluminum foil!. Place on baking sheet (as they can leak) and cook at 400F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours!. Sweet potatoes take at least 2 times to bake done than a regular russet potato!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
