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?

No. I’ve got a couple in the oven right now because the weather is cold. In warmer times I’ve been using an air fryer.
Well, t.i.l., thanks 👍
I was under the impression it only really happens in the microwave. The oven heats it slower so it might get a crack to let the steam out, but a microwave is so quick it can get a small portion that seems to “explode” enough to get a bit of potato on the inside of the microwave.
