Baked potatoes can be made in a rice cooker using the SLOW COOK function. By using this sealed cooking method you get softer potatoes with enhanced flavour and it uses less energy too than other heating methods because the rice cooker is a sealed unit as compared to a conventional slow cooker which usually has a loose fitting glass lid. Cook either small baby potatoes or go large with full size jackets then stuff with the alchemy of savoury and creamy blend to give a yummy flavour.

If using big potatoes remember to prick them with a fork. Leave the skins on for extra nutrition (wash well first) and give the bigger potatoes more time. For extra melting of the cheese just stick them under a grill to bake further.
