My wife just brought an air fryer home... so am watching these videos of women using it and I"m thinking all that for a simple baked potato?! Bam then I find this one, yep, I'm with you Joe, I'm tossing mine in the MICROWAVE... forget 40 minutes worth of time for ONE person and ONE baked potato! A++ on this video!
Thanks for the comment Rob. Although i have used this oven for many things now, I still prefer the microwave method for baking potatoes and even mashed potatoes. 40 minutes is just too long for my liking. Thanks again.
I am thinking for the week days when the wife is at work and it's too cold to fire up the grill I will be able to use this for simple burgers, chicken breasts, frozen fries and such. Will see how I do, I'm no chef by any means.
Joe I know that this is a older video but the rule of thumb with baked potato is 210 degrees Fahrenheit with a instant read thermometer and this way you know that it is cooked completely
I did my in the air fryer at 390 for 34 minutes then turn the temp. down the 360 for 10 to 15 minutes comes out perfect crispy on the outside soft in the middle. I didn’t prick it with the fork.
I would normally do mine in the microwave for about 6/9 minutes depending on size of potato and the wattage of your microwave then finish off in the power oven so it's all crispy on the outside and soft in the middle yummy
I always make my baked potatoes in the microwave (1000 watt). Next time wrap your spud in plastic wrap after seasoning instead of the damp paper towel. Reduce cook time to 4-5 minutes. It will be cooked perfectly!
Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Question... never tried with plastic wrap, always too afraid that the plastic may melt and contaminate the food. How does the plastic wrap hold up?
YourEverydayJoe, I use a “thick” plastic wrap available at Costco and as a store brand at Walmart. It shrinks up but doesn’t usually melt. However, if plastic is a concern, I’ve also used waxed paper. It can be used in the microwave with no worries and works very well! Also make sure you reduce the time for smaller spuds...FYI this method works great for corn on the cob and takes only 2-3 minutes.
yep good honest vidieo i have been trying the air for bake potatoe and you have to cook a lot longer than 30 min for one potatoe but the air is better inside
You need to wrap with foil, air fryer at minimum 400degs, then temp probe for a reading of 200-210degs internal - they will always be fluffy with a nice crispy skin. The reason to season skin is so you can eat all of it - why waste the best part?
ALSO, you can cook baked potatoes in a slow cooker if you basically do the same he did prepping and wrap in foil. It takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, but is wonderful to use in the Summer months.
@@YourEverydayJoe Now that I'm thinking about it, do you think preparing like you did which is the best way, would wrapping them in foil hasten cooking or would it have the effect of foil in microwave?
Gabrielle, not sure I understand your question. If you are asking if wrapping the potato will slow down the cooking process... I think wrapping them traps the steam in the potato and possibly lessens the cooking time to a small degree. I do not use foil in the microwave just a moist paper towel. Hope that answers you question. Thanks.
@@YourEverydayJoe what I meant is can I use the same method I use for the slow cooker i.e. wrapping in foil and putting the foil wrapped potato into the air fryer? Will the foil wrap have a negative impact on air fryer as it does in a microwave.
No worries Gabrielle, I always use aluminum foil in my power air fryer oven. The air fryer oven works much like an electric burner with a fan used to circulate the hot air. Its not the same as a microwave oven. Bottom line foil is safe in the air fryer, although the foil may fly around the oven if its not secured. Check out some of my other videos and see that i have the catch tray covered in foil for ease of cleaning.
My friends who like to cook scorn baking potatoes in a microwave, & I agree with them that potatoes baked in a standard oven taste much better. Everyone knows that potatoes bake much faster in a microwave than in an oven with radiant or convection heat.
I think a big potato in the air fryer oven takes much longer to cook than 30 minutes... I just bought one recently and I am experimenting is it worth it or just cook the regular oven!
I don’t oil my potatoes nor season the outside I have a tabletop oven and bake them for 45 minutes they are nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Also potatoes cook best at 450 degrees and the Air Fryer only goes up to 400 degrees.
I baked my potato's in the microwave, but I use the aluminum nails inserted in the potato. Two in one end and one in the other. It cuts the cooking time in about half or less. I cook them for two minutes, then turn them and cook for another two minutes. Also I don't poke them.
In my opinion, microwaves are great IF you are very short on time and do not care about the nutritional value that is lost due to microwave radiation ... you might as well eat a cardboard potato with flavorings added. Yes, I have a microwave, but I do not cook in it ... I use it strictly to quickly (less than 2 to 3 minutes) re-heat food and/or drinks {especially my coffee}. Air fryers are faster than most ovens, use less electricity and do not heat-up the kitchen/house as much as the conventional stove/oven, especially when you are cooking for one or two people.
Agreed. The premise for the "test" was not to see which was the more tasty or nutritious version but if the air fryer was able to compete in a time race. Although I always use the air fryer over the microwave very seldom I come home from work and need to head out again and in my opinion the microwave will serve the purpose. And yes I understand that I can prepare meals in advance but sometimes that is not always feasible. Thanks for the comment and support.👍
@@YourEverydayJoe The test being a "time race", yes, the microwave won and will do so hands down every time. I think everyone (almost) finds they do not have the time, but need the "hunger tummy" to be satisfied before having to be somewhere else a.s.a.p. Occasional 'quickie meals' are necessary and the microwave comes in handy there. The constant use of the microwave, in my opinion, is removing needed nutrition our bodies need constantly. Preparing meals ahead of time is rarely done now a days ... as it use to be done. (Yep, I'm 70 and still remember the good ole days.) Today, with frozen dinners, food in metal cans, tons of preservatives and little time to think about "the way it use to be", we often forget what nature gives us. The days of home canning are rare and doctors visits are more and more often ... but no one seems to connect the two. Just a thought. BTW I do enjoy your tutorials I am subscribed ... keep it up ... and ... God bless.
Jo Ann McCraw you are absolutely right about the loss of nutrition in the food nowadays. I also believe that life should not be so chaotic. Maybe if we spend more time with family at the kitchen table eating wholesome foods we would have more of life to enjoy. I am working on these in my own life and hope it comes across in some of my videos. Thanks for your insight and experience. 🙏😄

My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!
Hello Claire, I have used this method many times. The potato will cook quickly in the microwave about 7-10 minutes. Then I place it in the air fryer to crisp the outside. This works great. Thanks for the question and support.😊👍
So, speed wise, the microwave which with all due respect is a no brainer. Question, if you were at steak restaurant, which potato would you prefer to see next to your $20 - $30 steak? A shriveled up potato or a crisp skin plump potato?
Thanks for your comment, my eyes and pallet are just fine. In case you didnt catch the idea of the video was to make comparisons according to my desires. I still prefer not to spend 40-60 minutes waiting to eat a potato regardless where or how it gets cooked. That would be time better spent on more important aspects of my life. Thanks again for your comment.
Yes. You caught that too. It's "palate" not "pallet" according to google a pallet can be crude wooden bed. What? Why would someone need to know what kind of wooden bed i have? 😲 😂
@@c104ark6 Yes,I know he washed them. But he commented: - "We don't want dirty potatoes in our ovens . . . or in our stomachs". I just found that amusing.
@charrua59 the power air fryer oven runs at about 1700 watts probably the same as a high end blender or microwave oven. Keep in mind that this refers to full power output at 400 degrees but as the cooking times are reduces it probably doesnt use all that much. Hope this helps, thanks for the question. 😁👍

@@YourEverydayJoe I just got an air fryer today..... one of the large, white egg shaped ones with the pull out basket. I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.
Air fryer is not a baking machines How can you bake a potato in a microwave Joe. Seriously microwave cooks through the food where the air fryer cooks around it neither less is baked. No way microwave potatoes be perfectly cooked so there u go want a baked potatoes use oven and bake it you need patience too.
An air fryer is a convection oven. You most certainly can bake in it. If Joe knew how to cook he would have cooked it longer in the Power Oven and it would have turned out perfect. Yes the microwave is faster but the end product is not as good as the Power Oven. An air fryer can do everything a full size oven can do but on a smaller scale obviously and in usually half the time of a conventional oven.
You can put more potatoes then one in the air dry, same amount of time. He only cooked the air fryer one 30 minutes should have been 40. If you cook a microwave one a second to long it gets hard and rubbery. Good things take time. But whatever floats your boat.
@@YourEverydayJoe - just tried it. Worked great! I had had a 16 oz, spud ( the size of a nerf football) so I poked some holes in it with a fork and wrapped it in a wet paper towel; no oil or spices. 8 min on hi. in the microwave then out onto a plate. A fork would half way to the center. I sprayed it with cooking oil then shook sea salt and pepper over it. into the air fryer for 10 min.

I understand that a microwave is faster but why undercook it for the airfryer? That's like making a snotty egg on the stove and a well done egg in the microwave and saying microwave was better and faster
I cook a medium Maris Piper potato in a "steam mug" (clip on lid with air vent on top) for 4 minutes, then oil and foil and put it in the air fryer at 190 degrees for 11 minutes, unwrap, cut in half and bake for a further 3-5 minutes still sitting on the foil and adding grated cheese.
I put my potato in an sandwich bag, oil and season it in the bag, mush it around so the oil and seasoning is all over the potato, then remove it from the bag into the air fryer, cook about 45 min...so crispy on the outside, soft and really great inside.
More time consuming, but I bet a twice baked potato would work great using a combination of microwave and air fryer. Bake potato in microwave (D Stackhouse’s advice is spot on) then do the second bake in the air fryer. Thanks for doing the comparison.

I wrapped 2 Idaho and 3 sweet in foil. It cooked faster , I poked each about 15 times before wrapping
That's great @Vince Caputo. Did you cook them in the power air fryer oven? How long did you cook the sweet potatoes?
