Advantages: You can make a really nice mess.

Disadvantages: It's not possible to create!

I don't know if anyone else saw that cooking show a little while ago where thy advised you to do a jacket spud, hollow out the spud bit, mash it with cheese n stuff then refill the skins, wrap in foil n bake for a little longer??

Well, if you did or even if you thought of this yourself, don't bother.

I attempted this recently and it did not work. The 'simly hollow out the spud' line is all lies, it aint simple.

The skin all tore, i mean it was ripped to hell. Completely UN-refillable. Useless! I spent ages waiting for my spuds to cook to make this yummy dinner idea, and it was a huge flop!! I was so annoyed that i wound up having crisps for dinner as i could not be bothered to make anything else lol.

So, let this be a cautionary tip to you all, do not try and spice up your jacket spud, have it in the traditional way, else you may end up hungry and frustrated with crisps for tea like i did.

Summary: Don't always believe what the tv says.
