Bake Potatoes in a Slow Cooker or Microwave

As temperatures start to warm in many parts of the world we look to cooking methods that won't heat up the house as much. Baked potatoes are a common side dish that can be cooked easily in a microwave oven or in a slow cooker.


Alternatively, you can microwave a potato. First, pierce the skin of each potato several times with a fork so steam can escape while microwaving. If your microwave doesn't already have a potato button the rule of thumb is an 8-ounce potato takes 7 minutes to cook or 2 potatoes for 11 minutes.
