To people below a certain age, that question may be complete nonsenseTo ones above a certain age, you know exactly what I meanDo you remember having to do this?Thanks.
You do NOT cut it or peel it ahead of time of baking itYou'll need aluminum foil, a baking dish or pan a forkPreheat your oven to 375 degrees FLine the pan or baking dish with foilDo NOT wrap the yam insideUsing the fork's tines, poke holes into the yamDo NOT poke holes too deep! You're just giving it air holes while it bakes, not trying to spear it onto the fork's tinesPlace the yam onto the foil lined pan or dish, then place into the preheated ovenBake for one hour, 60 minutes To check to see if it's done, using another fork, push it into the yam all the way to the foilIf the yam is done, it will be softIf you encounter any resistance, it's still hard needs more cooking timeIF you need more time, bake for an additional 10 minutes, checking again with the forkIt should finish cooking by thenCut the yam open after it's done bakingServe with butter, salt, pepper and/or a little bit of brown sugar Yams are also known as sweet potatoesSame thing.
It depends on what you want to doBaked sweet potato.pierce with a knife and bake I bake at 375 and some will take 60 minutes or soI do not wrap with foil because that steams them and I like the skin crispIf you want to slice and bake them then peel them and slice into rounds or wedgesSeason and bakeYou might want to cover with foil until they are almost done then remove foilI also like them cut into chunks, drizzled with olive oil and oven roasted until browned and tender.
I remember that alright, my dad was a tight git so we had to use a wire coat hangerYou could be in the middle of watching a crucial moment in a programme and the tv would go fuzzy and no banging the top or side would fix iti remember we only had 6 tv channels but there was always something on , now we have a few hundred and theres feck all onAnd i remember when tv finished just after midnight, the news would come on and then that was itThen i would go to bed and pray that i had some power left in the batteries for my radio.
