Who can I cook a baked potato without tin foil?
Probably the electrical charges created in your mouth from the combination of the foil, saliva and fillings in your teethHappens to me every time I start chewing on aluminum foil.
Why are you chewing on foil wrappers in the first place?? It doesn't feel good on your teeth, fillings or no fillings.
Reaction to the fillings in your teeth,a small electric style shock.
You don't want to ever bake a potato in foil .The reason is.it will steam the potato and what you want is for the potato to bake.Here is how I do minePreheat your oven to 350 degreesThe first step is to wash the potato with a stiff brush under cold waterYou can purchase a vegetable brush at any local home goods store, like Bed Bath and Beyond for instanceThey are not expensive at all and very handy to have aroundOnce the potato is clean, grab a fork and poke a bunch of deep holes into your potatoThis will help moisture escape while the potato is cookingDry the potato and then coat it with oilPut a light coating of kosher salt on the potatoI like to gently roll the potato in the salt to make sure it sticks while cookingPop the potato in the preheated oven directly on the oven rackPlace some aluminum foil underneath the potato to catch any drippingsYou will want to bake the potato for about 1 hour or until the skin of the potato feels crisp and the flesh inside is softThat's it Perfect every time Enjoy !!!
