Why are baked potatoes cooked with skewers?

Here's why:

* Skewers are for grilling or roasting small pieces of food. They help hold the food together and allow for even cooking.

* Baked potatoes are cooked whole in an oven or microwave. They don't need skewers to hold them together.

* Skewers would make it difficult to bake a potato. The potato would likely fall apart on the skewer, and the skewer would get too hot to handle.
