How To Do Jacket Spuds In A Slow Cook

streetgirl74

Can someone please tell me the best way to do jacket spuds in my slow cook and how long they should be in there for

I asked this not too long ago.. if you search there is a thread. But I cooked mind on the lowest for 7/8 hours.. abit few inches of water in the bottom and all spuds in tin paper.

This is what I have done:

Poke potatoes with fork and wrap each in foil. Fill dry slowcooker with the wrapped potatoes. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours, until potatoes are tender.

Doesn't adding water keep the skins from going a bit crispy?

yeah.. they weren't that crispy, but I didn't want to run the risk of cracknig the cermamic pot (as some had mentioned in other threads).

Is there any reason why you want to cook them in a slow cooker? I always cook mine in a microwave oven, just poke them with a fork and put in the microwave for an average of 20 minutes. OH always says my jacket potatoes taste so good and I believe him

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll try that next time and hopefully have more sucess My pots have a tendancy to either be over-cooked or cooked in the main but have a few bits uncooked no matter how hard I try
