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?

You couldn't pay me to eat that garbage, probably so handled it's too
unclean to slop hogs... I don't want your crotch-wipe hands touching
my food.

Got plenty of time, if I'm roasting a hunk of meat for dinner anyway
takes no extra anything to bake a whole mess of potatoes at the same
time. And I bet your crappy precooked reheated/petrified potatoes are
nowhere near as good as mine... can't beat fresh dug still warm from
my very own sun kissed earth. And I've never yet lit an oven just for
baked potatoes.. only an imbecile lights an oven just to bake
potatoes, let alone just one or two.

Not out of the ground 24 hours when I ate them, reds boiled (salad),
golds baked... baked a couple heads of that home grown garlic too:

Sheldon,

I absolutely love home grown garden vegetables and your pics look
wonderful. I'm just saying that if you can't have fresh out of your
garden, (not everyone is as lucky as you), this is the next best
thing.

Shill, plain and simple.

Pathetic.

Anyone who has time to eat said potato has the 30 seconds it takes to
clean said potato before placing in the microwave. I suppose you also go
to those stores that assemble a ready to "cook" meal kit for you while
stroking your ego telling you that your life is too busy and your time
is too valuable to spend the 15 minutes preparing the ingredients, the
very same 15 minutes you spend at that store.

Shill.

Like I said, that store concept like a lot of other similarly stupid
things all work on the principle of extracting money from the clueless
by stroking their egos. Instead of say, teaching the subject how to
cook, you instead tell them that they are too busy (read lazy) and their
time is too valuable (they're self absorbed and neglecting their kids)
for them to spend the huge amount of time (15 minutes) it takes to
prepare ingredients for cooking. It's simply a yuppified TV dinner at a
yuppified price.

I've never tried a reheated baked potato but was the original
cooking conventional or nuking? If conventional, it might be
interesting to try.

The original is baked in an oven, cooled with a special, patented
process, and Individually quick frozen, all in a very clean FDA
approved processing plant. This is what makes it taste better than a
fresh microwave baked potato.

BTW, thank you James, it's nice to know there are some decent people
out there...

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!

A microwaved potato is not a baked potato, so your "patented process" has
nothing to do with the taste difference.

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.

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.

Err, green potatos? Are they not sunburnt and a bit carcinogenic? I
don't buy green ones myself.

I just read that the green potato "threat" is overrated, but even so, no
store should be selling them.

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.

Sorry to all of you who were offended by this post. Though it is good

Default Microwave baked potato?

"Thank you all for your honest opinions"

You just came to the wrong place I think. Most people on here, IMHO,
think Quality first, then Price. There is a market for what you have to
offer but it's not here. pre-Baked frozen spuds belong in same category
as "Aunt Bessie's Frozen Yorkshire Puds" that I am ashamed I have a
sister that actually uses.

I don't buy the green ones and it doesn't take long to wash them. But you
can buy pre-washed ones these days. Wrapped in plastic and ready to nuke.
