I pierce with a small knife deeper instead of just the surface with a fork just be careful of your fingers and palm like
Pricking doesn’t work, need to really stab the fucker like you mean it.
Pricks too small
Thread the potatoes onto metal skewers and put them directly onto the rack. The metal conducts the heat through the potato and negates the risk of explosion.
Cross cut with a knife before baking. Forget the forking fork
Less of a prick more a tickle with the fork by the looks of that.
I had this happen once with chestnuts I had put to roast in the oven. Heard a small bang, went to open the door and half of them exploded all over the kitchen.
This happened to me once. I still ate the potato, it was the most fuffy light and delicious potato carcass that I have eaten.
I do baked potatoes a bit differently. Prick them all over, microwave (800W but at 60%) for 10-12 minutes. That softens them up. Then rub oil and salt all over, and into the pre heated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Always happy with the taste, texture of the inside and crispness and taste of the skin (yours look a bit too dry for my liking to be honest…). Have never had an explosion with this method.
Looks like you’re having mashed potato for tea instead.

Mr President, a second potato has just exploded
Prick
Prick harder (sequel).
Next time can you get a slow mo vid please 🙏

The trick with jacket potatoes is to skewer them with a metal kebab stick. That way they don’t blow up and cook evenly. I often bulk cook and freeze.
Man down… Let’s say a prayer for the fallen soldier.
Fuxsake, it takes some effort to get a jacket pot wrong 😂
I’m glad to have empirical evidence that potatoes do explode. So I haven’t been wasting my time by pricking potatoes before I put them in the microwave.
Reminds me of the time I forgot I had 14 eggs boiling in the pan. Egg shell everywhere, the ceiling the walls, all surfaces.
Must pierce them. I put an actual big nail in mine.
Need to cut a cross in the top. A slit at the very least?

did you prick them with a fork first?
“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”
Try piercing them more and deeper.
Oh, and your bottom rack is crooked. Please fix it before it drives me insane.
Rapid unplanned disassembly.
Quite the hot potato

And people laugh at us oldies who prick them before you bake.

A radicalised potato
I’m sorry to say, I think your prick was inadequate!
>Glad have the oven clean booked
Can’t you just clean it up yourself?
Oooo it’s an agitator.
I’ve seen this happen before in my own home and it even blew the oven door open. High carb hand grenades!
Die potato
Had this happen at Xmas time with a chestnut, nearly had a coronary

And if you want to have a better day, you must listen to what the baked potato say.
