Despite microwaving potatoes frequently, (1-10/wk, don’t judge me) for many years (often questionably, typically without pricking) I have yet to have one explode. One would assume microwave explosions would be more common.
Perhaps luck, perhaps potato type/size (I like Yukon gold and reds, which are thin skin, small, and relatively soft) but it’s just me so I don’t usually buy large/baking potatoes, and maybe those are more prone to bursting?
I put them in a lidded microwave safe container, bit of water in the bottom, microwave for 10-15 minutes. Never a burst in.. almost 20 years?
Not judging, but that's a lot of potatoes.
Avg of 5/wk, 260/y, 5200 over the 20years.
Did you celebrate the 5000th?
Potatoes are fairly cheap and you can survive on them far longer than ramen.
But maybe they just really like the taste.
