What temperature is a baked potato done at?
You can't determine if a baked potato is done by a specific temperature. Here's why:
* Internal Temperature is Unreliable: Unlike meat, a potato's internal temperature doesn't indicate doneness. It can be very hot inside, but still be hard and uncooked.
* Doneness is About Texture: A baked potato is done when it's soft and fluffy throughout, regardless of its internal temperature.
Here's how to check if a baked potato is done:
1. Press it gently: A baked potato should yield to gentle pressure.
2. Insert a fork: The fork should easily slide into the potato without resistance.
3. Look for a soft center: If the potato is firm in the center, it needs more time.
Typical baking times:
* Small potatoes: 45-60 minutes
* Medium potatoes: 60-75 minutes
* Large potatoes: 75-90 minutes
Note: These times are just estimates. Oven temperature and potato variety can affect baking time.
