what do you find to be the best method of getting the potato right? i usually just rub a little oil and salt on, then stick in the oven on a low heat for a couple of hours
As an in the closet hoops lover I totally approve of this subversive slant.
There are various options. The salt and oil work well. Some use the salt, oil and wrap in foil method. The ones I did last night were straight to the oven with nothing added. I cooked them long on a low heat and then fired the heat right up at the end for a short period. The insides were soft and skins crispy.
Another regular method I use is to cook them (roughly as above) hollow the flesh out into a bowl and return the skins to the oven for 5-10 minutes to crisp up properly. The flesh in the bowl is mixed with cheese and butter and fluffed up nicely. When going down this route I generally am not doing cheese and beans, normally I do the mix with some diced, grill bacon and a little tomato purée and serve with soured cream.
I am not a killer BTW
Food fascism is something we all enjoy but I enjoy not wasting food more.
I hope you sleep smugly.
WHAT? You have your baked spud in a bowl?
Yes

Badgers - wow, you take your jacket potato's very seriously! However I think you are missing a sprinkling of back pepper on the dish.
For the 'perfect jacket potato' the columnist Felicity Cloake investigated this very subject last year. Her findings are here

The best way to cook jacket potatoes that I've found is in a wood burning stove. Drizzle oil, add plenty of salt and pepper then cover in foil. Place in the corner of the stove and turn every 30 minutes or so. I'm looking forward to those long and cold nights just for this reason!

And if you can afford to put your oven on just for some potatoes.
I'll do jackets if there's something else in the oven like a lasagne or a stew but putting the oven on just for some potatoes?
Profligate is the word.
Crispy

My thoughts on the matter too. We have a tiny little desktop oven so microwave then 45 mins in it to crisp up isn't quite as wasteful as the full 2 hours.

I generally do a batch. They keep in the fridge for about a week, just reheat.
But now you've bought it up. I may start doing one at a time.

spaghetti hoops & beans? wtf?
You can microwave and it will be fine. They are better cooked all the way in the oven though. I do work Kanda but I have the weekends free for 2-3 cooking exercises. Also, are you telling me your oven does not have timers?

My main oven doesn't but my convection/microwave combi one does... in the summer I do them on the BBQ with the hood closed, much quicker as it goes up to about 300 degrees with all burners on.
This is correct. I will normally do 2/3 for people at home but bung in a couple of extras for lunches in the week. They are not the best second time around but good enough for a quick hearty lunch.
