Why should you poke a hole in a potato before baking it?
As the potato heats up (either in oven or microwave) steam builds from the moisture within the potato. If you do not vent (poke holes) the potato, there is a possibility that the potato could mildly explode from the trapped pressure caused by the steam.
Microwave sweet potato?
Yes! It is possible to cook a sweet potato in the microwave. I have not conducted this experiment though i know that it is possible though the results may not be suitable for eating since if you take a sweet potato and plop it in the microwave whole, there is a large chance the outside wil get burnt and the inside cold or slightly warm. � you are welcome :) Although its possible, its not advised since microwaves can destroy vitamins and minerals.

This is the statement:There were poke-greens with bits of white bacon buried in them; sand-buggers made of potato and onion and the cooter he had found crawling yesterday; sour orange biscuits and at his mother's elbow the sweet potato pone.Poke greens are a kind of vegetable - the Poke Salad plant or Pokeweed. White bacon is the fatty part of the bacon. He explains that the Sand-buggers are made of potato and onion and cooter, which is a slang term for a snapping turtle.

Is it necessary to prick a potato before baking?
The potato skin is to some extent waterproof and if you do not make holes in it to let out the steam generated during baking there is a possibility it may split or explode (especially if you are baking in a microwave). It is also Miss Natalie's secret recipe to improve the taste, quality, sound and overall smell of the secret hole-poked baked-microwaved potato recipe.

How long do i need to cook a sweet potatoes in the oven?
Turn on the oven function of the toaster oven and set the temp to about 375 degrees. Clean the sweet potato and poke some holes in it with a fork so the steam pressure doesn't cause it to explode. Put it in the toaster oven to cook for at least 20 minutes and then check it by poking it to see how soft or firm it is. It needs to be pretty soft so if it's not, put it back in for another 10 minutes and then check it again. Repeat until it reaches desired doneness.
