<pssst! You are supposed to poke holes in them with a fork, before baking.> i did not know this, and they will not expolde if i add the little holes? No, but you can put on some body armor first if you want to be sure. Nella, I have never had a potato explode on me. But I have always heard that if cooking them in a microwave, yes, holes are necessary to let out the steam that builds up inside of them. I have never been told to do this when cooking in a regular oven - it might dry them out. On the other hand, I would risk dry potatoes rather than face cleaning them up after an explosion. (You wouldn't have neighbors complaining about the noise, either) I do it in both the micro and the reg. oven,(poke holes in them) and I learned the same way nella did that if you are going to bake sweetpotaotes or yams, poke hole in them also. I thought because of thinner skins I would be safe, so much for thinking, LOL as for the question, it kind of bounces from me to Master, If I have it and take my hands off it Master hijacks it and takes off, and I am there walking the ilse doing the Man way of shopping, trying to carry it all in my arms and looking for Master, than he shows up and asks "Where did you go," which earns him a look. LOL I much prefer to shop by myself, Master is in too much of a hurry and that just irks me, can't comparison shop and get the best value and the lowest price type thing, he is a tornado going thru the store, LOL
