A jacket potato: 50 minutes in an electric oven at 200? What is your perfect Jacket potato cooking method?!
Answers:
In these days of high electricity costs I cut down the cooking time in a very simple way!.
I use a very clean 6inch + nail and press the point into the potato so that about an inch sticks out!. This transfers heat into the middle of the potato very quickly so that it cooks evenly in almost half the time!. Outside is still nice and crisp!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

microwave for about 10 minutes- depending on the size (this is for a 250ish gram potato), just to soften it throughout, then flash cook in an oven for about 5 minutes on a very high temperature to crisp it on the outside,
I used to have them when I was much younger and wasnt scared of the calories- I used to put a slab of butter in them before putting them in the oven as it would make them softer and on the skin where the butter had been, would make it crunchier!.

I do mine in the microwave for 4minutes to heat it up !. Then place in the oven Gas mark 5 or 6!. coat potato with a bit of olive oil and season with rock salt or normal salt!. Wrap in tin foil for 25 minutes , when time is up open the wrapper and let it go crisp for the remainder of cooking time!.Heating potato in microwave first helps to cut the cooking time down in the oven!. It should take about 35 -45 minutes all depending on the size of the potato!.

Been reading most other answers and have to disagree!. A microwave jacket potato is nowhere near as tasty as one done in the oven!. Best jackets I've ever had were at a restaurant called Damons in Lincoln!. Not sure what they do to the skin but it has a coating of what looks like sea salt baked onto the skin!.!.!.very tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Mmmm, brush melted butter over the potato skin, and roll in 'Good With Everything Salt, available from your nearest Lakeland store, or online; item no; 1165, ￡2!.99!.
Then , I pop it in my electric oven ( fan assisited) for 45-50 mins!.!.!.!.!.!.delicious!!!

depending on the size of the potato usually i do about 5 mins in the microwave and then turn it over for another 5, while that is happening put your oven to its highest setting and then blast the potato for about 10 mins then to crisp it up!. much quicker and cooks more evenly than just in the ovenWww@FoodAQ@Com
They are best cooked like that, but you can only do it if you've got the time!. If you're in a hurry, scrub the potato, and nuke for 8 - 10 mins (depending on size)
Split potato, fill with cream cheese and nuke for a further 2 mins for a delicious snack!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
