If you're in a hurricane hurry, the microwave is your best friend. Simply wash and poke your potato (yes, that's a thing), then cook it on high for 3-4 minutes, or until it's soft and fluffy. And don't worry, it won't explode - that's just a myth perpetuated by scary movies.
Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that the microwave was invented by accident? Some genius scientist was trying to make popcorn, and voilà - the microwave was born. Who knew that a happy accident would lead to the ultimate lazy cooking method?
