Tried Jacket potatoes and turned out really nice! I find that the microwaves & oven doesn’t always soften the potatoes properly but these came out great! Wash and pricked with a fork, brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with roast potato seasoning. Started on low for 3 hours and then high for 2 hours ( no foil used 🙂 )
I found the skin to be not soft but not entirely crispy etc somewhere in the middle lol but the potato tasted amazing! So soft and didn’t even need butter!
Alot of people forget how energy efficienct slow cookers are around 15p for 7 hours and that the main convenience other then taste is u can leave them all day if u need to go out and things be done when u get home.
Member Question… 5/6 mins inmicrowavecouple of mins in oven to crisp.
Answer… I usually do that method but I have found sometimes parts of the potato are still rock solid even after the oven so thought I would give this a try x.
