Love jacket potatoes but only done in big oven as nice and crispy, however expense means should use microwave instead but find them soft on the outside and hard in the middle, any suggestion gratefully received. Also any veg receipes for main meal - no garlic - makes me sick.AND does anyone use nuts and seeds .if so how please. Sorry so convoluted and thanks in advance

I par boil jacket potatoes for about 10 - 15 minutes and then finish them off in a hot oven. It takes between 30 and 45 minutes in the oven depending on the size of the potato.

Our microwave is a Combination one and although it takes about 24 mins to do a good sized potato, the skins are crisp and the flesh is soft. I think it also depends on which potatoes you use. IMHP you can't beat a Marfona, usually from M&S.

Three minutes microwave then into the Remoska for up to an hour. No oil.
I often add some other item for the last twenty minutes or so.

I usually use Vivaldi spuds, from Sainsburys.

I pierce the potato, wrap it in kitchen foil for the appointd time, depending on its size and afterwards wrap it in tin foil for 5 minutes, because it is still cooking. The outside is soft but the innards yummy.
