Boil microwave potatoes?

nothing wrong with keeping spuds in the fridge mi amigo, i find it stops them sprouting, its a cool dark place

that is not current advice I'm afraid

you must have missed the memo

yes same as almost anything that is seasonable and can be stored, apples a classic example, stored in warehouses for a year pumped full of nitrogen

You cannot bake a potato in the microwave. It may be cooked but it sure isn't baked. Pretty much like you cannot bake a potato in a pot of water.

I can see that working.

I usually start them in the microwave and finish in hot oven if I'm in a hurry.

They're called microwave ovens but the cooking process is entirely different to baking in a conventional oven.

No one disputes that one can cook potatoes in the microwave.

The fact remains that it is a completely different cooking method, a different apparatus and a completely different result. They aren't baked potatoes. They are microwaved potatoes. Perhaps, to you, they appear similar but to many of us, they are very different things.

I could claim, repeatedly, that I can bake potatoes in a pot of water but it wouldn't make me right.

For everyone's sake, I shan't make the point again.
