KitchenCraft Baked Potato Stand, Aluminium, 12 x 14.5 cm, Silver

I bought this for my Microwave despite it being metal. You can see my question enquiring about the microwave on the product page. The answers were mixed and none really gave me the green light. So with it being cheap to buy and some reviews pointing out this is a quality build, I bought one to see for myself. I put two large potatoes on it (two are needed for balance) after using a fork to perforate the skin all over (spuds explode in microwaves without the skin perforated). In my 950watt microwave I put them in for 9 minutes on full power. I took them out and cut them in half. The whole potato was fluffy and soft except for the very middle of each which was getting there but needed 3 more minutes. So the next day I did the same and put them in for 12 mins and they were perfect throughout. Absolutely spot on with taste and texture. As for it being metal and being in a microwave. There was not one spark during either test. I confirm this works great in a microwave. It behaves just like it was made of plastic. I am pleased I took the gamble, it gives me a 12 minute yummy option for lunches or supper. It also lets me tell you it works fine in a microwave. Well my one anyway which is 11 years old. NOTE: I see Amazon again have not given me a verified purchase option for this product. It makes it look like I am the seller writing a fake review. I find this behaviour by Amazon to be dumb, it just stops reviews being credible which in turn reduces sales ... and don't sellers pay Amazon a fee to feature their product????? ..... I hope the seller sees this review and rethinks that fee they pay. (I contact Amazon about the verified purchase option being missing and they just make excuses and leave it unresolved with no real explanation ... it's just prattle really).

Got one of these for my potato's it worked very well for 5 weeks then fell in bits but it was good at cooking potatos

I bought this to replace another that I had annoyingly broken in a too full drawer! Amazon stated it was the same as I had ordered 3 years before. However, on the attached label it said 'baking potato rack' & this has 12cm spikes, whereas my old one had 8cm spikes. It does state that the spikes are 8cm in the description! I should think it will work alright but possibly better with larger baking potatoes.

Expensive for what it is but makes a fine jacket potato 🥔 good product but as I said expensive

November 2024. Bought this Kitchencraft product as had them before and they were sturdy and good quality. I bought two this time and on using just twice the stand snapped and cannot be used. This is the second time this has happened and I cannot find a way of contacting Kitchencraft UK which is what Amazon advised me to do even though they have a 12 month guarantee.

My sister-in-law loves this! She could not find it to buy in any shops. It cooks potatoes quicker in the oven. Great buy! The points are sharp enough to pierce a potato but not to hurt you. It is easy to use and clean! Perfect for 4 medium sized potatoes.

Works exactly as expected. But only lasted 3 months, then broke into 2 sections.

Despite being described as "Aluminium" the item delivered was actually stainless steel. All of this type of stand I have had before - and that's a lot - have all been aluminium, but this stainless steel one is much better as the spikes are thinner (pierces the potatoes easier) and structurally more rigid than aluminium (obviously). However - and most importantly - I find that it is much easier to clean.

Works great! Potatoes bake quickly!

Brilliant had them in the UK & finally got them !

The two parts came apart immediately we tried to set it up. Managed to insert into potatoes but not exactly a sturdy piece of kitchen equipment

Great quality! Best way to cook a baked Potatoe, fast!!

Great little device that cooks the potatoes to perfection
