Here, I will outline the best way(s) to bake a potato in the microwave.
In order to get a good baked potato, one must start with the correct potato,
Nuke it for the proper length of time,
And then, a little patience, will pay off nicely.

The best potato, in my humble opinion, is the classic baking Russet or Idaho potato; one also hears of this potato being called a Chef's potato, or a baking potato.
It is a high starch potato, which will remain firm but not hard after baking. .

(Cannery, 15 indians, 10 chiefs above me, mainly doing specialitys to order, for local supermarket brands)
Anyway, try a fillet of fish, but wrap it in microwave proof cling wrap (In NZ its called Glad Wrap) BUT BUT BUT, nuke it just a few seconds at a time, then 20-seconds of standing, it needs so few seconds, it is easy to overdo it, you end up with the juiciest cooked fillet of fish you ever had. BTW, you can do it on HIGH, the best results come from the freshest (juiciest then) fish, whatever the heat setting.
I don't recall any mess, unless of cause you catch the victim yourself.
Overcook it by just a few seconds? I suppose a starving cat might still enjoy it.
And it will make up for the high cholesterol of the Nuked Spud. (Spud is the NZ's Tator) after your first few heart attacks force you onto a fish only diet.
I will print this for a 65 year old non WWW friend, who has diabetes, a heart problem, and eats what he wants (after all, his doctor is not watching 24/7) and he GROWS his OWN spuds.
The nuked fish idea, is free for anybody, everybody, somebody including aliens, to turn into a instructable, but please credit me with posting the idea. It is common place locally, a few minutes walk from the sea.
Your 'tators have cholesterol? Ours are only complex starches, and only gain cholesterol if you add butter or sour cream :-)
butter, sour cream AND bacon fat, etc etc etc
Did you not write this?
I, personally, like to smear a bit of Olive oil onto the potato (some prefer bacon grease, but that is high in cholesterol ).
At the cannery, we canned both ready to eat jam, and concentrate (just add sugar and water) and in the old days, 6-pound cans of ready made for hospitals and institutions.
The fruit arrived, in plastic bags, cartoned, frozen. 3 days to thaw out.
Problem, how to remove the caterpillars?
Answer, run thawed fruit thru "separator" to remove any junk and also to pulp the fruit. The "separator" must have been swiped from the Enterprise when Kirk and Spook came to visit once. It worked so good, it also send the caterpillars into the next universe. I know that to be the case as the waste bucket, never had any caterpillars in it. (The Separator was invented by an Aspie in the 22nd Century, introduced to the 20th century circa 1975, by Kirk and Co)
But what got me was the formula for ready made jam, 40Kg fruit, 20Kg of pectin (and additives) and a whooping 140-Kg of sugar. (make up to weight with water, to make consistent batch recovery) The finished product was pumped off to the filler, most of the ingredients were man handled, and the forklift on excursive duties, ==high speed trips from stores to factory with pallet loads of bagged sugar. (35kg per bag)
Material in, - wastage =planned recovery, otherwise there is hell to pay, even if recovery is super great. (Super great, meant too much costly water added, I was pretty good at estimating evaporation without needing laboratory tests)
Yea, caterpillars are okay (but worms?????????????) but that sugar put me off jam for life.http://www.instructables.com/group/aspies/

Think positive words, don't put yourself down. (thats two positives for you above)
Or did the wife clean up? Not likely so you must risk death if you don't do a super clean up, so that makes you both a super cleaner, and also the person mostly likely to survive the nuclear war coming soon to a city near you.
(everywhere in fact go and see the old movie "On the Beach" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053137/
