First of all, do bake it for the best flavor. A microwave steams the potato and the taste and texture are not as good. Prick the potato three times with a fork, wrap in foil, and bake at 375% for one hour. Let it sit for a few minutes when you bring it out of the oven. Don't discard the skin.... it has many good nutients for you.

Select even sized potatoes wash and dry
Prick all over with a fork and roll in oil. Bake at 200% for about 40 minutes, depending on the size.
Should be soft when squeezed with an oven mitt

Depends on the size of the potato.
(wash the potatoe, put some olive oil or cooking oil all over the potatoe, make a cut across the top of the potatoe, wrap it in a paper towel.) a medium size potatoe usually take 8-12 minutes, in the microwave.

To bake it in the oven about 45 minutes to an hour. I use a piece of foil to wrap it in
You know it is done when if you squeeze it gently it is soft, use a pot holder or a thick dish towel thats been folded twice, so you do not burn your self.
Microwave 5 minutes. But I don't really like microwaved potatoes.

Depends on the size of the potato and the method of cooking. At least half an hour in the stove, at least five minutes in the microwave. When you poke it with a fork and the fork goes in easily, it's done. Just keep cooking it until that happens.

about an hour in the oven, don't microwave it, I did that once, and had it on for 3 minutes, the potato caught fire, and man did it smell.
