Abstract: | Russet Burbank potatoes baked with and without wrapping were held at different temperatures to determine the effect of the procedures on cooking quality. Unwrapped and foil-wrapped tubers did not differ in mealiness, color, and extent of off-flavor devlopment when judged at the time of doneness. A holding period of 1 hr for both treatments resulted in a marked deterioration of quality that progressed during a second hour of holding. Unwrapped potatoes showed greater textural impairment after holding and were significantly cooler than foil-wrapped potatoes treated in the same manner. Although foil-wrapped potatoes remained hot during the holding period, low mealiness scores, off-flavors, and discoloration showed they were substandard in quality. Quality deterioration was minimized when pierced foil or a paper bag was used as wrapping during baking and holding, but the serving temperature was low for the paper-wrapped tubers. If baked potatoes must be held before serving, it is recommended that they be wrapped in pierced foil prior to baking and that they be held at 200 F for as short a time as possible. |
