You must try one of these!

 
Just before Christmas I sent for a set of these microwave bags from one of the leaflets that came through the door. I gave one to a friend. The idea is to cook jacket potatoes. I didn't have great expectations but how wrong was I? Depending on the size and quantity of the potato(es) and a bit of experimenting perfect jacket potatoes are the result every time. At Christmas I experimented with some parsnips - cooking them in the bag for 5 minutes then putting them on a greased oventray(frylight) spraying with frylight and cooking for 20 minutes - they were awesome. Even Jon said they were the best he has ever tasted. Last night I washed and peeled a large potato - cut into chunky chip sizes - popped in bag in  microwave for 5 minutes - then put them on a greased oventray(frylight) spraying with frylight and cooking for 20 minutes- result - best chips I have ever tasted.
Crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle - just like my mum use to make.
 
 
The bag can be washed and is ready to go!
Good news - I have found an online bargain! HERE!

  3. I saw this before and decided not to get it. I don't like the way the microwave cooks the skin on the potato. I have tried recooking them in the oven and wasn't so pleased. But maybe the pocket makes it better.
    Now I will have to try this.

    cheers, parsnip
