Jacket/baked potato!
Cooking for One: What’s Your Go-To Single-Serving Dish?

Now there's something you can eat just as it is; with salt, pepper and butter; with cheese; with sour cream; with chilli, with ham and cheese, with bacon bits...
The only thing you have to remember is "how long has it been in the oven..." but baked potatoes are very forgiving.
AND...
I've just put 4 potatoes in the oven. I've got a LNAT class in 10 minutes, so by the time I finish, at 7.30, those spuds will be ready to eat.
Great idea, TastyReuben !

As a teenager, I always made what I assume is a souffle omelette, not that I can see the video. But it was fluffy and light and rose, but only had eggs, salt and pepper in it, topped off with a tasty cheddar in those days. It certainly had the same or similar texture to a souffle.
Buy sadly eggs are off the agenda next week because i have blood tests due at the end of the week and my body is very sensitive to them when it comes to certain figures and results in blood tests! Grrrowl
I dislike microwaved potatoes. They taste odd and have a wierd texture.Four minutes in the microwave!
I like them just as I am - long and slow

That's where an airfryer comes in handy. It double as a tiny oven (ours is a 2 person sized one)

I've got one of those and mostly prefer the speed of the micro for potatoes.
I’m the same way…I don’t think they “bake” evenly in the microwave - hard burnt spots on one end, hard underdone potato at the other.I dislike microwaved potatoes. They taste odd and have a wierd texture.

Jacques Pepin has a method where he starts them in the microwave and finishes them in the oven (or the other way round
) and he says he gets a quality baked potato in a fraction of the time. Haven’t tried it yet myself, but I plan to.

I'm also not a big fan of microwaved spuds. The airfryer does seem to cook more quickly as well.

There's a trick to cooking them in the microwave. If you know -how- it heats you can make it work.I’m the same way…I don’t think they “bake” evenly in the microwave - hard burnt spots on one end, hard underdone potato at the other.

That works. Its something we've done many times but we've lived a long time time without a microwave as well.Jacques Pepin has a method where he starts them in the microwave and finishes them in the oven (or the other way round
