I remember when Dobson was self depreciative and could actually make a joke at his own expense.

Polite sage.

What is the best way to cook a potato.

>>4973396
i dont get it, is there some cultural detail im missing?

why would he microwave a potato? why would he spray it with something, and with what is he spraying it with? why would it taste like butter afterwards?

>eating like that
>still fat

fat people who think they have diets like that always eat like four times as much as they convince themselves they do.

>>4973396
>2013
>Still deodorizing your potatoes

>>4973438
>why would he microwave a potato?
Microwaving seems like a reasonably popular approach for cooking a single potato.
Fairly energy efficient, and fast...maybe 7 minutes instead of an hour in a conventional oven.
>why would he spray it with something, and with what is he spraying it with?
He presumably sprayed it with some aerosolized cooking oil...in the US, there are some well known brands (Pam), or generic brands of particular oils...they'd more commonly be used to spray on a baking sheet or in a pan. He just wanted some sort of oil on the potato.
>why would it taste like butter afterwards?
It probably wouldn't. The final panel is the punchline, an allusion to a US spreadable oil product literally called "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." It's a rather ridiculous name, and the attempt at humor comes from this guy cooking it so poorly, using a terrible oil, then (against all odds) proclaiming his satisfaction with those exact words.

>>4973438
I feel like you're joking but if you're not there is a butter called "I can't believe it's not butter".
The artist was spraying butter in a can onto the potato and referencing "I can't believe it's not butter".

>>4973482
>>4973488
thanks, i was genuinely puzzled. and i didnt know you could microwave a potato, will try it sometime.

>>4973512
best baked tater is microwave for only a few min, then finish in oven so it gets crispy skin. because of the few min in microwave it dosent take 45 min

>>4973488
>there is a butter called "I can't believe it's not butter".

Dude... it's not butter.

>>4973596
Let's be real here. That method is the best time to taste method of baking, but a full spin in the oven still has higher returns.

It takes much longer, and is grossly inefficient power wise (for a single serving); but the results can't actually be beat.

>>4973601
Really? I can't believe it!

>>4973512

Don't. Anons are trying to trick you into destroying your microwave.

Remember, this is 4chan. The same site that said it was safe to throw ice in hot oil or that you could make cool crystals with ammonia and bleach

>>4973651

You need to pierce it regardless of whether you're baking it in the over or microwaving it, idiot.

And since it probably needs to be said, you don't wrap it in aluminum foil if you're going to microwave it. You shouldn't if you're baking it and want a crisp skin, either.

>>4973428
Feed the potatoes to a pig, then slaughter the pig when it gets big and turn it into bacon.

Is that supposed to be funny in any way in the slightest?

>>4973512
Many stores in the US actually sell individually plastic-wrapped potatoes that you put into the microwave wrapped...I guess it traps in some added moisture or something, not sure. But a normal potato works fine. Or, as another anon said, start it in a microwave then crisp the skin in a toaster oven or regular oven.

>Don't. Anons are trying to trick you into destroying your microwave. Remember, this is 4chan.
This guys pulling your leg, but it's actually decent advice in general anyway - google "microwave baked potato" and you can see many reputable sites describe it, and you should read one of them for more details, like that you still need to poke holes in the potato.

Potato time? Potato time!

hungry, and need something to keep you going?
Bet you have enough to get this party started.


All you'll need is a basic baked potato. The kind and cooking method is up to you, but this is a wrapped easy microave potato. Let's go ahead and start cooking.

>>4974209
Likely you'll have these items on hand, so let's go ahead and get them out.
Butter (in this case papa johns garlic butter!)
Onion
Shredded Cheese
Chilli
Sour Cream

When the potato is done cooking heat up your chilli, or if you can multi-cook go for it while potato is heating up.

>>4974217
Go ahead and pour your butter in there, and mix it up!
(sorry, this one pic came before mixing!)
*Note about mixing: Don't completely scrape the potato off the skin, just what you can easily pull off with a fork while mixing.

>>4974223
Throw in your shredded cheese and chopped onion and mix! (heat of the potato should have melted your butter and will melt the cheese)

>>4973396

why is he a blue bear now?

>>4974227
Now pour your chilli into your potato, and yup! Keep mixing!

>>4974233
Put a couple spoonfulls of sour cream and... You knew it! Mix that baby together. End result should look similar to picture. Sit down and enjoy this bad boy!

>>4974237
Ate all the loose potato? But there's still plenty left on the skin! Let's take it back to our prep station.

>>4974209
>wrapped easy microwave potato

How much did that cost?

>>4974241
Scrape that potato I warned you about off the skin, then you will have almost another potato!

>>4974246
Rebuild it all like we did the first time and voila, nearlya whole second potato! Dig in!

>>4974251
Did you really save all that copypasta?

>>4973396
>Dobson

>>4974256
save? My nig I created it.

FOCUS YOUR CAMERA. what are you doing with your life? jesus

>>4974311
not caring to focus, to much potato to eat que

>>4973512

>i didnt know you could microwave a potato

I can't even call you dumb, I am wondering how someone can not know that

>>4974288
German or just autist?

>>4974338
organized?

>>4974352
autst it is

>>4974368
this autistm thing needs to die already. Don't use the word if you don't understand it

>>4974243
one like 2 or 3 dollar

>>4974288
dump roast beef.

>>4974288
dump cousin plox

>>4974376
Language is not concrete, but constantly evolving; especially in places like 4chan you autist.

>>4974606
seconded

>>4974620
Oh look, a little snowflake who was raised to be special and cannot fathom being wrong. Yes, all rules bend in your ignorance like reeds in the wind.

>>4973417
there is nothing wrong with microwaving a potato. they have a lot of water in them and steam inside the skin. a microwaved potato is pretty much indiscernible from one baked in an oven

>>4974636
Go around speaking some Olde English you autismal faggot.

>>4974641
Nope.

>>4974641
Well if crispy skin means nothing to you...

>>4974668
I just peel the skin off anyway like a normal person

>>4974660
yup. last word, I win.

>>4974677

Speedy:
Take regular potato

>speedy

Do the paper towels cook the potatoes or do you eat them raw? I don't mind a sliver of raw potato time to time.
