Safety Information

• Microwave Use Only: These potato cookers are designed exclusively for microwave oven use. Do not use them in conventional ovens, toaster ovens, or on stovetops, as the plastic material will melt.
• Handle with Care: Cooked potatoes and the stands will be hot after microwaving. Use oven mitts or appropriate heat protection when removing them from the microwave.
• Piercing Potatoes: The prongs are sharp. Exercise caution when piercing potatoes to avoid injury. Keep out of reach of children.

Setup

Before first use, wash the potato cookers thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse well. Allow them to air dry completely.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato: Select a potato, such as a large russet. Wash and scrub the potato clean.
2. Pierce the Potato: Using the prongs of one Norpro Potato Cookier stand, carefully pierce the potato all over. Ensure multiple punctures are made to allow steam to escape during cooking.
3. Position the Potato: Stand the pierced potato upright on the prongs of the potato cookier. The prongs should securely hold the potato in an upright position.
4. Microwave: Place the potato and stand inside your microwave oven. For large russet potatoes, microwave for approximately 5-10 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the potato and the wattage of your microwave.
5. Check for Doneness: Carefully remove the potato from the microwave using oven mitts. Test for doneness by squeezing the potato or inserting a fork. If not fully cooked, return to the microwave for additional time.
6. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the potato from the stand. The potato is now ready to be served with your desired toppings.
