Idle question. I've always heard that you need to prick the skins before baking a potato. The potential consequence for failure to do so is a catastrophic potato explosion.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

Microwaves still cook from the outside in, but yes, mostly only excite water.

I believe this came up in another ATK thing, but can't track it down at the moment.
