How do I know when baked potatoes are fully cooked in oven?

Answer 1

Stick a fork in them...it should go in and come out easily if they are finished.

Answer 2

Wrap them in foil and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Then stick a knife or fork in and if it comes out easily, the potato is done.

Answer 3

They take approximately 1 hour. After 1/2 hour, turn them over. Make sure that both sides of the potato are punctured with fork, etc. They are done when the fork can slide easily into them.

Answer 4

Just poke the potato with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the potatoes are fully cooked.

Answer 5

The skin will be kind of papery (if cooked without foil) and when you poke it with a knife or fork it should go in easily. (About like it would if you were cutting it at mealtime).

If you take the time to pound it with a knife handle a few times before slicing into the skin, then you can give it a nice semi-mashed texture.
