How to steam, in place of baking, russet (baked/steamed) potatoes?

Hello. I haven't tried this yet but here is a recipe that will probably work but be sure to check the potatoes with a fork after a few minutes (depending on size) for doneness and to make sure the water in the bottom of the pot has not evaporated. Also, scrub the potatoes well before starting to remove any dirt and peel them ahead if you are making mashed potatoes. Steaming produces a much softer and mushier product than baking or microwaving (my preferred methods). Here is the website: http://www.livestrong.com/article/435104-how-to-steam-red-potatoes-in-an-electric-steamer/ AND/OR http://www.livestrong.com/article/555329-baking-a-potato-in-a-rice-steamer/ . Remember that the George Foreman is really just a pot with a heating element in the bottom and if you have the option, use your microwave after piercing potatoes with a knife if in a hurry or your oven if you are baking other things and don't mind heating up the kitchen. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I use my Turbo Convection Oven to reheat evrything from meat, fish and backed potato. Ineach instance I can wrap in aluminum foil. Tea and coffee I microwave

I, personally, have "boiled" it ... wouldn't advise trying to steam, as the holes in the steamer insert are too big to hold the rice. I find microwaved rice to come out very nice, indeed. One part rice to two parts water and a sprinkle of salt.

You don't need any liquid the steam from the bag produces all the moisture you need. At times I have par boiled small whole potatoes.

No...just potatoes.........but I do add 1/2 grated onion before the hot water.....very easy. These are really good ........worth playing with!

Add a large pinch of salt (1/2 tsp or so) and voila, full steam ahead! The more salt, the more steam, but don't overdo it.

I have done potatoes wrapped in foil (shiny side in) at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, but I prefer microwaved potatoes with a microwave nail in them (my mother in law gave them to me, apparently coated aluminum if I had to take a guess)

Lots of things! I've steamed hard boiled eggs in it so that the shells peel off easily and perfectly. I've cooked potatoes for mashed potatoes and potato salad. I have steamed chicken wings to fully cook them prior to putting them in the oven covered in sauce for BBQ hot wings (BBQ sauce, honey, and sriracha sauce, combine in bowl, throw in wings and mixed together, put in oven under broiler on foil lined pan for a few minutes). I've made baby back ribs in it as well. I would advise getting a good cleaning brush (I use OXO Good Grips bottle brush) for a quick clean up afterwards.

No. You really don't need a recipe. Just microwave the potatoes in the glove. They come out just like baked potatoes but in a much shorter time. Potatoes can be microwaved without the glove but the product is less moist. Be sure to turn over as they direct, half way thru the cook time.

I don't remember a cook book or recipe book being available with this EWave . .. use it like you would an oven and adjust for the time required to bake or sear the food. I've had no problem getting good results and I'm no cook. Baked potatoes still require about 50-55 minutes on the 500 degree setting, so speed isn't that much different, just more convenient and economical to operate. buy a temperature probe if in doubt about doneness (if that's a word).

Sorry, but we've never done baked potatoes in the toaster oven. We put them in the microwave. However, there is a "potato" setting button on the oven, so I presume if you use this, it will automatically bake the potato and shut itself off when the potato is done, as it does with the "toast" and "pizza" setting buttons. Hope this helps.

I baked up to 5 potatoes, they were perfect with great crispy skin. Bake at 350 for about an hour, check by squeezing to be sure they are done so they are fluffy inside be sure to fork them when you take them out so they don't get soggy. You can easily add extra time depending on the number of potatoes. Like all baking it is trial and experience

Probably not any meat which might touch the oven sides or top, so measure twice, cook once! Wide cookie sheets will block the convection. Remember, the turntable wants to turn the food for even heating. Baking potatoes seem to take a lot longer on convection. Nuking them just steams the inside.. very unsatisfactory. Experiment first, company later.

i don't know what process it goes through to take it from the potato to this potato starch but I would say it is raw. It is in a form similar to flour. If you are going to take it for resistant starch benefits, you simply stir it in water--- no cooking involved. I suppose you could use in it cooking if you found a recipe calling for it but I've never looked.

Potatoes need to be cooked. They should not be eaten raw. Even when dehydrated the potatoes are still considered raw. If you cook/ steam the potatoes first and then blend them till smooth with water or vegetable broth or add nuts and blend well (nuts are for added fat and creaminess) or something like that (not milk or anything that would sour/spoil) then that mixture could be spread out for drying. Season with herbs for taste before drying.

I purchased a stainless steel 9x13 cookie sheet that I steamed baby potatoes in. S/S seems to mark when you bake/cook in in. Try a small area of "Bar Keepers Friend" powder (can find in larger grocery stores). I only use a small amount with a couple drops of water (make a paste) with a dobie scrub pad. This has worked in every s/s pan I own and it takes off any stain. Remember, only use in a small area at first.

I wouldn't buy this specifically for that purpose. i suppose you could make Potatoes au Gratin in this, but I would suggest a baking dish, such as a pyrex or a ceramic baking dish.
