    Put the potatoes in a bowl and then into your sink. Turn on the cold water tap and wash them thoroughly. Make sure all the dirt is washed away and your potatoes are clean. Then take a microwave bowl and put it in your microwave oven. Usually all microwaves have an option of “baked potatoes” but if your microwave does not have that option then simply put the cooking time to ten minutes and start the microwave.

    After 6-7 minutes, take a knife and poke it inside all the potatoes one by one. If the knife slides in easily that means the potato is baked and is ready for eating and if it is not then put it in the microwave again.

    After ten minutes, repeat the same knife procedure. If you cannot find a knife in your kitchen then you can even use the back of a spoon or fork. Utensils are usually placed in the kitchen drawers.
