For those of you who are interested, there is a place out there where
you can buy frozen, fully baked potatoes that microwave in 3-4 minutes
and taste like fresh, oven baked potatoes. Check it out at
www.worldwidefoodsinc.com. Also find free recipes for baked
potatoes. These are very convenient. I have 5 kids, age 6 and under
and I use them at home often as they save me a lot of time in the
kitchen.


If you are nuking, you can nuke/bake a fresh potato too. It takes a bit
longer, but not significantly so and it'll save you a LOT of money!

I used to wrap a spud in waxed paper to nuke but graduated to placing
them inside of a covered corningware baking dish with a little water.

Works fine.


I don't know Omelet if you save money , because oven
costs...DDDDDDDDDDDDDD


Junk food always costs more than electricity. Even here. G

I AM considering building a solar stove/oven tho'.
Heaven knows summer days in Texas are good for that sort of thing!

What a pathetic shill / spam post. Nuking a fresh, raw potato take a
couple minutes longer and is more convenient and of course a lot
cheaper.


Nothing shill about telling you guys about a good potato. This company
supplies national restaurant chains and now their potato is online.
You are wrong about it being more convenient to use a fresh potato.
Cheaper maybe but not more convenient. Who has time or wants to wash/
scrub a bag of green potatoes you get from the grocery store?


Only lazy twerps like you won't scrub a bag of fresh spuds...
If you are rich enough to eat junk food, fine.

But this list never has appreciated SPAM!!!
And it's obvious you are a low life scum spammer.

I totally agree with you on the junk food issue. You end up paying for
it in doctor/dentist bills. However, you should know that these are
all natural, with no additives. Therefore, they do not qualify as
"junk food".

I bet these are great with onion soup mix and spam.


What is funny, they actually show the potatoes and Spam in a recipe on the
web page.

I've never tried a reheated baked potato but was the original

interesting to try.

I've made extra baked spuds (and yams) on the wood grill or in the oven.
They are just fine re-heated in the nuker.

But I just don't see the point in purchasing pre-cooked "baked" potatoes.

If I am time challenged (which I am during the week), I cook extra on
weekends. Both dad and I are perfectly happy to live on nuked leftovers
for a day or three.

I try not to make leftovers that last more than 3 days as we both tend
to get bored with them. I'll just go ahead and cook when I get home from
work on Thursday and Friday mornings... Things like eggs and stuff.

How much more expensive are these than fresh spuds ? I think I
calculated $50 US for 10lbs , ie $5 /lb or £2.50/lb, seems way OTT

Where did you get those prices for potatoes? At my local grocery
loose baking potatoes are $.89 per pound. Bagged ones are even
cheaper.


I believe he is referencing the price for the shilled industrial
potatoes.

All the shills say that.

At $38 plus shipping for 10 pounds, they are for people with more money than
brains. 29¢ a pound versus $4.70 a pound with shipping.

I can have them washed and in the oven or MW by the time you dig the frozen
crap out of the freezer. And I'll be a few bucks ahead. 29¢ a pound versus
$4.70 a pound with shipping. If you wash a 10 pound bag of potatoes in 5
minutes, you are saving $44 in minutes or equal to $220 an hour. I have to
work over a half a day to earn that so I'm not going to give it up for
pre-washed spuds.

Just this AM drove into town cause I had banking to do, and got my
mail from my POB, and gased up my guzzler, stopped at the liquor store
for a 2 litre bottle each Crystal Palace vodka n' gin (sqwertz will
orgasm), and walked next door to the local Grand Union; got a 30 can
case of Genessee cream ale, eight 2 liter jugs black cherry soda, 4
bottles quinine, and a 5lb bag of new potatoes, was on sale (if it's a
sale) $2.49... was a mountain high stack right inside the door, looks
like very nice spuds, they're those long ones... will make a lovely
batch of German style potato salad. I't too hot now to light the oven
for anything.... I don't do baked potatoes during the warm months and
not all that often during winter either, I typically buy the waxy
potatoes as I prefer them roasted... just scrub well, towel dry,
lightly oil, salt and pepper. Spread em in a big pan and roast until
toasty brown and puffed.... it's 91F and humid, but I just got a
sudden urge for meat loaf, gravy, and roast new potatoes... will have
to wait. I got left over grilled chick tiddy and squash... got about
a pound of green beans I picked yesterday too, but I think those are
slated for freezing, will be good in a
winter soup.

I ain't gonna pay anyone to roast my potatoes, that's like buying ice
in the winter.

Sorry to all of you who were offended by this post. Though it is good
to know that there was a place that I could get some honest feedback
from. Thank you all for your honest opinions. I will leave you alone
now. Sorry.

is baked in an oven, cooled with a special, patented
process, and Individually quick frozen,


If it's patented it's protected and not secret so you'd have no
reservations sharing this special cooling process... probably has to
do with a fan and witch's tits! hehe

And frozen yet, blech!
