Doesn't it take 5 minutes for a regular potato to be done in a microwave?
What is the point of this crap?

Exactly what I was about to say.
But in the current climate of smartphone whoring hipsters, you could literally sell microwaveable turd biscuits in a box if it was marketed effectively enough.
"Why crap in your own box before heating it when you can simply pop our pre-pooped box in the microwave for a while minute less."

They're nicer than a potato chucked in the microwave.
I thought the same thing, then I gave them a try one day when I saw them on offer. They're like a proper slow-cooked, oven-baked jacket - fluffy and creamy, rather than the slightly crunchy you get when cooking a raw potato in the microwave.
Well worth the money TBH. Takes five minutes to heat rather than a couple of hours.

I've bought them before, it's nice to have stuff like this in a box that can be prepared in minutes.
Sure if I know I want a jacket tomorrow I could buy some potatoes later.
But if I get home from working away all week and fancy a jacket spud then boom, done.
If I buy a sack of potatoes and do fancy a jacket for a few weeks then wastage commence.
Things like this are specially relevant if you live solo and don't eat at home much. But if you've family in the house there's always a chance what you don't want will be gobbled up anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's not hipsters who buy this, more likely 17-yr old single mothers. :wink:
I'm ashamed of you, this post is hours old and you didn't think of banter?

I neither know, nor care about football. (so I'm not sure why I'm even reading this thread....)
That said, why are people focusing on Joe Hart's butterfingers?
Surely the inability of the rest of the team to score a single goal in 90 minutes of open play is far more damning?

Can be a he luck of the draw but definitely don't keep them in plastic if that's what they came in. A sack of spuds in a paper bag from the greengrocers should last for ages.
Then again I used to work in a greengrocers and I'd spend hours out back removing the sprouts from potatoes so they could sold so the stuff you buy may not be very fresh. It really helps if you can buy them locally from a farm shop where they are grown.
Also I find that baking spuds in a microwave is both faster and results in better baked potatoes than the oven but not sure of the health risks.

Get some spuds from the greengrocers and use those. It's not hard to bake a potato. Look out for reduced potatoes too. I bought 10kg of potatoes from Asda for 40p and they've lasted me a fair while but you can probably pit up 10kg for 4 quid from hour greengrocers depending on the time of year. Keep them in a cool, dark and dry place and they'll keep for a long while.

Bit of a daft question but how do you prevent them from sprouting. I bought a 4 kg pack and they sprouted in a week..;-(

Just like potatos are. They don't need to come in a branded box
