Baked Potato for a late lunch...

[Timmah!]

Pierce, coat with olive oil & kosher salt, then bake @ 425F until reaching an internal temp. of ~210F.  So much more fluffy than microwaving a potato & worth the extra 45 min.-hour if you have the time.  No wrapping in foil.  Love the taste of baked potato skin!  You can tell by feel, too...when it's nice & soft, squish it around before splitting it open.  This is another case where a ~$30 probe thermometer proves its utilitarian value.  Cakes, breads, roasts of any kind of meat, steaks, sauces both sweet & savory become considerably, consistently better. A dual probe is especially useful to have the second probe to monitor oven/grill/smoker temp.

Tim this is the Thermo Pro I use al the time. It's great and works great. The two probe model I barely use now but is awesome too. the hand held I use for testing yeast, BBQ roast, Chickens, Steaks, anything I'm preserving like apple jelly. Takes all the ques work out. Most times I can tell by the look of something but just confirm with the ThermoPro.
