What is the point of a bag? We just poke a few holes in the potato and put in microwave. Been doing it for around 30 years.0

There are way too many warnings on that thing - it makes me nervous. lol0

I have one of these....and I've yet to try it!0

can you turn them inside out?
can you submerge them in water? or get water on them?
makes a nice stocking stuffer, but have to make sure it's a good invention
I've just thrown it in the washing machine with the towels & it's come out fine.
Oh man for a second I thought you meant you threw the POTATOES in the washing machine.0 -

i don't have a dork, so i can't try it.
I'd imagine you would have to be careful to avoid it being an imbalanced load.

I have a homemade version of this from a local quilt shop. It's awesome. Makes much tastier microwaved potatoes. And easy because no "dork" is needed. You don't pierce the potatoes and nothing explodes. Win win.0

or just let it sit outside to dry?
Personally I prefer to air dry my dorks. They don't get as wrinkly that way.0 -

To microwave a potato, I would stab it with a fork all over and then nuke it for seven minutes. Afterwards I'd have to dunk it in water with ice so I could handle it and take the skin off. How does it go for you? Coming to think of it, I suppose people just normally deal with the skin while eating!
what? take the skin off? That's the best bit of the oven-baked potato!!! that chewy crunchiness....mmmm yum. But yeah, the crappy skin on a microwave potato is why I cut a line down mine, put in the microwave for 5 minutes or so, then finish off in the oven. I like the taste of the inner from a microwave, and the skin from the oven.
But if this bag makes the skin crispy it could be good!!
Eating the skin... I mean other than being an immigrant, how haven't I known this was a thing???

I love baked potatoes. If I am grilling something or have the oven on, I will nuke a potato for 4 or so minutes, then drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and sometimes garlic powder. Wrap in foil and onto the grill or in the oven for another 10 or so minutes.0

When I cook something in the microwave it is either in paper towel, porcelain, or glass. I do not use anything else. I did see one of those and thought that is great for those who find it helpful.0

I have one too and love it. The potatoes really do come out better imo than just putting it in the microwave. I also use it to warm up corn tortillas. They stay warm and are very moist.0

Sorry double post

The skin gets crispy like it's been in an oven - not "soggy" like I've done other ones in the microwave before. Previously, I didn't like the taste/texture of microwaved potatoes - now I do.
this sounds awesome
I generally microwave for 5 mins then throw in oven for 30
but if this does the job - yum0 -

This gives you oven-baked skin in the microwave? I have to get one.
The skin is the best part.0 -

Basically eating potato skins to me was as foreign as eating banana peels or something. Will have to give it a try, though!
