Microwave Potato Steamer / Cooker
Raise your hands if you love potatoes. Yep, that's what I thought. This has got to be the most popular tuber out there and I'd guess that there are as many ways to boil them as there are types of potatoes in the world.
Here's the simplest and most mess-free way I have seen so far.
What? Microwave potato steamer
Where? Mustafa Centre, microwave gadgets section
Price? 10 SGD or 330 INR
Contributed by Raks, here's the description in her own words:
"Want to cook potato in hurry? You might have seen potatoes kept as such in the microwave bursts and moves here and there sometimes.
This cool gadget allows you to microwave and cook the potatoes (8 numbers maximum) in a jiffy. Takes only 4 minutes (+1 Minute standing time) to get cooked!! (Time may vary from one microwave to other but no huge differences. Only 1 or 2 minutes difference)
Just nail the potatoes in the sharp edges provided in the stand and microwave. The stand never gets hot!
What's more? The handle can be removed for easy cleaning and for storing purposes."
So, how do you cook your potatoes?
