Tutorial: Potato bag for microwaving baked potatoes

I’ve recently found out that the secret to perfect baked potatoes in the microwave is to put them in a bag while you cook them. I’d always used a paper sack, but that was until I saw this tutorial by Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood of Craft Sanity. She shows how to make a fabric bag for microwaving your potatoes. Go to the tutorial.

Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to this question. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps you heated it too long or on higher power. –Anne

want to make a potato bag but don’t have a pattern. I’ve seen the bags and I’ve heard they work great.

Make sure you wrap your potatoes in wet paper towels before placing inside the bag. The moisture is used to cook the food and cool the bag down. I hope this helps
