A woman has shared a genius hack to cooking baked potatoes in just five minutes in the microwave.
If you work from home or in the office, grabbing a quick and cheap lunch can be a challenge. The thought of painstakingly waiting on a baked potato to cook in the oven can be unappealing, especially if you don't have an hour to kill.
That's where this handy preparation trick comes in from a clever woman who posts on TikTok under the handle @paleandthrifty.
All you have to do is cook the potatoes at the beginning of the week, leave them to cool down and stick them in bags in your freezer until you need them. The TikToker showed this step-by-step in her video as she said: "I bet you didn't know that you could freeze cooked jacket potatoes. This is my favourite money-saving lunchtime hack.
"I bought these three baking potatoes for under £1 and batch cooked them at the start of the week and then leave them to cool on the side - but you must still freeze them when they're slightly hot. This stops ice crystals from forming in the middle so you don't get a watery potato.
"Freeze them at the start of the week and then everyday just pop them in the microwave for five minutes - and you've got a really easy cheap lunch."
While you can buy a bag of McCain's 8 Frozen Baked Jacket Potatoes from Tesco, they are pretty pricey at £5.25 a bag. You can get a single baked potato from Tesco for just 23p which means this is a much cheaper way to prepare lunch ahead of time.
The woman posted the video to her 5,200 followers and garnered a whopping 57.4K views on this nifty trick. Viewers were wowed by this simple trick as one wrote: "I don't use a microwave hun, can i reheat in the oven? I love this idea!"
The woman responded: "Yes!"
Another said: "I do
