Baked Potato Stand, Aluminium, 12 x 14.5 cm, Silver

Excellent, cooks potato evenly and quickly.

Easy to use, easy to clean..

great product & it works :) however... if you only put one potato on the spike....it falls over :( ...so if you are going to cook 2 or more potatoes...BUY one :) .....

I bought this for my Microwave despite it being metal. You can see my question enquiring about the microwave on the product page. The answers were mixed and none really gave me the green light. So with it being cheap to buy and some reviews pointing out this is a quality build, I bought one to see for myself. I put two large potatoes on it (two are needed for balance) after using a fork to perforate the skin all over (spuds explode in microwaves without the skin perforated). In my 950watt microwave I put them in for 9 minutes on full power. I took them out and cut them in half. The whole potato was fluffy and soft except for the very middle of each which was getting there but needed 3 more minutes. So the next day I did the same and put them in for 12 mins and they were perfect throughout. Absolutely spot on with taste and texture. As for it being metal and being in a microwave. There was not one spark during either test. I confirm this works great in a microwave. It behaves just like it was made of plastic. I am pleased I took the gamble, it gives me a 12 minute yummy option for lunches or supper. It also lets me tell you it works fine in a microwave. Well my one anyway which is 11 years old. NOTE: I see Amazon again have not given me a verified purchase option for this product. It makes it look like I am the seller writing a fake review. I find this behaviour by Amazon to be dumb, it just stops reviews being credible which in turn reduces sales ... and don't sellers pay Amazon a fee to feature their product????? ..... I hope the seller sees this review and rethinks that fee they pay. (I contact Amazon about the verified purchase option being missing and they just make excuses and leave it unresolved with no real explanation ... it's just prattle really).

Broke apart on 2nd use.

Despite being described as "Aluminium" the item delivered was actually stainless steel. All of this type of stand I have had before - and that's a lot - have all been aluminium, but this stainless steel one is much better as the spikes are thinner (pierces the potatoes easier) and structurally more rigid than aluminium (obviously). However - and most importantly - I find that it is much easier to clean.

Works well enough, but broke after four or five uses. Yes it's cheap but needs to be better built.

Robust, effective & good value
