A baked potato takes an hour in the oven. Four minutes in a microwave gives you something rubbery with a cold middle, which is why nobody bothers on a weeknight.
Why It Works
Traps steam and reflects heat
A lined interior holds moisture around the potato and bounces microwave energy back through it, so the centre cooks at the same rate as the outside.
Four minutes, fluffy inside
Two medium potatoes, wet, into the bag, four minutes. The skin stays soft rather than going leathery the way it does on a bare plate.
Not just potatoes
Works the same way for corn on the cob, sweet potato and small bread rolls you want warmed rather than dried out.
Reusable, not disposable
Hundreds of uses from one bag rather than a sheet of foil in the bin every time.
Machine washable
Cold wash when it needs it and air dry flat. No lingering smell between uses.
