ITV This Morning's chef Phil Vickery shared a clever hack when cooking a jacket potato which reduces the cooking time. The clever hack involves putting a spoon in the potato.
On the ITV show, Phil spoke about how he had jacket potatoes for dinner regularly as a child. The chef shared his top tips for ensuring crispy skin, and how to reduce the amount of time the oven is on cooking the potato by using a teaspoon, reports The Express.
“A couple of things to remember, yes they do take a bit of energy - and Alice [Beer, consumer editor] has already told me off for cooking them twice. [But] you can microwave them and finish them in the oven for a crispy skin,” Phill said.
