Doesnt that lower the nutritional value or something instead of baking it?

 

[LiftLearnLove]

im not sure tbh...

That been said microwave cooking is one of the healthiest so I couldnt see how nutrients would be lost

No - how would lower the nutritional value?


I do find it hilarious that grocery stores charge from $1.00 to $2.00 per tater for stuff that comes pre-shrink wrapped. You can buy pounds of taters for that price.

They don't taste as good, and are a little chewy when they come out... but overall yes it works well and is quick. I bake mine ahead of time in the toaster oven so I have them already ready. I just set 3 or 4 of them for about 1 hour 10 minutes and go do something else. Then I individually wrap them up and stick them in the fridge. Good stuff.

Thank you for that tip in micro. I cant wait to try that.

cheers zenpop might give that a try see how they come out..

they are a biy chewy out of the microwave but hey I prefer saving time than taste if that makes any sense

They never taste so good in the microwave but of course much more convenient if you're pushed for time

I'm new to eating sweet potato Joanna80 so I think I'm going to try both micro and cook and see which is best.

Just wash some whole yams/sweet potatoes on a Sunday, bake them at 425 on a cookie sheet for an hour, the best way to bake bulk and store in fridge in closed container...gtg at any time!!!

I have eaten them after 4-5 days and still good as long as kept in sealed container or ziplock bag and fridge.

I've eaten food up to 7 days from sealed containers. I usually bake my sweet potatoes and cook rice every Sunday for the whole week

Make sure they are the freezer ones, if you buy the other ones you can still end up with stale freezer burn food

I've always done my potatoes/sweet potatoes in the microwave, easy and fast, even if I'm mashing them

Never buy frozen chicken if you can help it.

They will be a bit more chewy (like me)...not near as delish.

Buy fresh if you can, go to the butcher (every store has one) make friends, buy the good stuff.

Your palate and tummy will thank you.

I have a local produce place with boneless, skinless chicken breast $1.79 pound!!! Freshest stuff ever, soooo good.

I can't grill where I live right now but that is my preferred method. Grill and then store in tupperware in the fridge.

What I do now is season and bake them at 400 degrees (your oven may vary) for 15 minutes on each side. Comes out pretty juicy and delish. You may want to cook them for a bit less if you are re-heating them later.

Don't count only the time to boil your sweet potatoes but think on once of the calorie !
