Microwave it until tender and the skin is loose, then transfer it to a toaster oven or frying pan for
final crisping.

That may be, but the OP expressed concern over the heat generated to
bake a potato in the middle of a heat wave.

Well then...the OP should go outside and make sure the sky isn't
falling.

A toaster-oven isn't a problem in that way.

I think I like it crisp, but don't usually do it at home. Next time I put a
potato in microwave, I'll turn the turbo oven on preheat. Pop it in for 3-4
minutes on crisp, of which I got bake, brown, or crisp.
