Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Microwavable Potato Cooker with Lid
Customer Review: Potato Cooker just why?
Summary: 4 Stars
Like most people who have used a microwave, I've experienced food products exploding. Sometimes potatoes do this even with the recommended slitting of the spud and Progressive puts the lid on this problem quite literally with their potato cooker.
The bottom of the dish is not the same as using a typical plate because of raised half-inch plastic spikes along the bottom. These support the spud during the nuking process and avoids the "hot spot" on the bottom so common in using a regular plate for the microwave. This helps the tuber cook more evenly which makes for fewer explosions, a tastier spud consumption experience and easier cleanup.
The lid, apart from preventing a mess in the microwave, works in tandem with the raised bottom spikes to contain the inevitable steam which happen whenever a kilowatt of microwaves are hitting a veggie, while letting the food steam a bit in its own juices. Nobody likes a steamy microwave from a dried out veggie, and this product solves the issue nicely.
It's a bit too big for one potato and about right for two potatoes, and too small for three. It would have been better as a part of a three pack of one the size it is and one smaller, and one bigger. That way there would be a choice of cooking one potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four.
Groan... that was bad, but the product is one I'd recommend to anyone who likes their baked potatoes.
