    If you like a bake potatoes try them in a instant pot. The good one that are about the size of a baseball and half. Im not a potatoe lover but it was very good.

    I bought a MEATER Bluetooth thermometer. Haven’t been home enough to use it yet, but back to taters…

    FW heats up the whole house with the oven, but I like them better in 6 minutes or less microwaved with garlic salt, little butter, pepper and whatever cheese is left over in the fridge.

    I’m a simple man, but in a hurry most days.

    Those are pretty dang cool. My buddy has one and didnt realize you have to really pay attention with how far you insert it or your ambient temps wont be right.

    Digital temping is key to consistent internal temp meats being served! I use them in sausage, bacon, all smoking and grilling. peace

    I go 45 minutes at 500.
    Absolutely the best.
    If it ain’t got crispy skin, I’m not on board.

    We’ll do a Baked Potato bar for supper some nights in our house. We poke the spuds, rub in olive oil and kosher salt, and wrap in foil. Then put them in the crockpot on low all day. Turns out perfect every time. Bacon, Cheese, broccoli Chives, Sour Cream, Ranch – even chili!

    I guess I’ve never checked the internal temp but I haven’t had a bad one using this method.

    Gonna have to try this, I really don’t use the oven in the summer bc of the heat.

    Doesn’t foil = soggy skins?

    We tried them in the crock pot both wrapped and unwrapped. My wife and I both thought they were too much like a boiled potato and not close to a baked one.
