got any food hacks?
pasbesoin: There have been some previous threads on this topic.  Search will probably turn them up.My recurring suggestion:  Microwave a sweet potato.  Sweet potatoes are much more nutritious than white potatos; currently, the popular press has taken to labeling them a "superfood" (insert skepticism here).Wash itPoke it (deeply) in a few places to vent steamMy vintage microwave takes approximately 8 - 10 minutes, depending on size.  If your microwave does not have a carousel, flip and rotate the sweet potato halfway through.They can cook somewhat unevenly, so let it stand for a couple of minutes after cooking, while the heat continues to disperse and cooking completes.Season and eat.  I cut mine in half, sprinkle each half with a bit of (raw) sugar, and dust liberally with cinnamon (also now being shown to have health benefits).P.S.  I went to check the manufacturing tag:  It was made in 1977!  How's that for durability?  No explicit statement of wattage, but 13 A at 120 V, 1 (of 3) phase (sorry, I'm not sure what to assume for the power factor).
