I used to just wrap them in waxed paper, but this does sound
interesting. At the moment, I put whole potatoes into a covered
corningware with a little water and they come out perfect.

If I want to save time on baked spuds (like I did last week), I'll
partially cook them in the m-wave then put them into the convection oven
for about 25 minutes to crisp the skin and finish cooking them. They
come out very good this way and saves time.
