Cooking a baked potato within the microwave is a handy and time-saving methodology. The cooking time varies relying on the dimensions and amount of potatoes being cooked, in addition to the wattage of the microwave.
Typically, a medium-sized potato (about 6 ounces) will take roughly 5-7 minutes to cook dinner in a 1000-watt microwave. Bigger potatoes or a number of potatoes would require further cooking time.
