Jacket Potato

As my health kick started last week, I was thinking of bringing a jacket potato into work for my lunch. However, I don't want to cook it from scratch in the microwave as I don't have too long for my lunch. Is it possible to cook it in the oven at home on a night then reheat it in the microwave when I'm ready to eat it?! Thanks

That's great - I'll shove one in the oven tonight ready for tomorrow - they're much better done in the oven!

I prefer them done in the oven too and have to re-heat in micro at work, I've never experienced them being soggy, Puddi x

That reminds me of last night's Corrie - do you say baked potato or jacket potato? (Michelle says baked, Liz & Steve say jacket - which side of the potato fence are you on?)

The skin is the best bit, if cooked in a proper oven.

Don't forget to take off the foil, atkinsonr

Top-tip I got off an army cook...par boil them for 5mins or so before you put them in the oven...they cook much quicker.

thats what they do on jacket potato stalls you see them pick them out already cooked and just bake them a bit more

It stops them drying out. In fact, they are steamed potatoes.
