How long to cook a jacket potato in miceowave?
Answers:
To "bake" a potato in the microwave with the skin or "jacket" on it, you need to pierce it several times to keep it from exploding. Average time for a 1000 watt microwave for an average size potato is 5-6 minutes. Some take longer some less time to cook. If your microwave doesn't have a turn table, turn the potato over after three minutes. Cook until it is soft, then before you cut it open wrap it in a clean paper towel and squeeze it several times to mush it up inside if that's the way you like them.
7 minutes or 8 if large.good with butter.
Depends on how large it is. I usually cook 2 min on high, then turn over and cook another 2 min. Squeeze on it and see if its soft. If not, turn over again and try another min or 2. Keep this up till it gets soft. It's all in the feel. And don't forget to poke some holes in it with a fork before cooking.
6 minutes and don't forget to jab it with a fork. tf
