My house-mate does that. I just use the flimsy pan it came in and a
fork. Any debris stick to the pan is a doggy treat for Izz-a-bel or
Jasper, Dennis' grand-dogs.

Oh, I do. If I'm feeling "sporty" I'll pierce the tater on one end, then
on the opposite size on the other end. Sometimes it causes the potato to
spi like a top from the escaping steam.

It's one of the very few complex things I cook in the microwave. I don't
count "steam in bag" veggies or similar as cooking, just hotting up.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Microwave Baked Potato
Categories: Five, Potatoes
     Yield: 1 Spud

     1 lg Russet potato
          Salt & freshly ground pepper
          Butter or sour cream; to
          - serve

 Wash potato thoroughly and pat completely dry. Pierce 3
 to 4 times with a fork.

 Place potato on microwave-safe plate and microwave 7
 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. If your
 potato isn't fork-tender after 7 minutes, continue
 microwaving in 1 minute increments until fully cooked.

 Let rest for 2 minutes.

 Split potato down the middle, being careful of steam.
 Season with salt and pepper, and top with butter before
 serving.

 UDD NOTES: Sometimes I like to fork the potato near the
 ends on opposite sides. This can make the potato spin
 like a whirl-a-gig from the escaping steam. Besides the
 butter and/or sour cream toppings I like to use shredded
 cheese and/or bacon bits sometimes. Or salsa/pico di
 gallo. Get inventive.
