My potatoes took about 3 hours and 10 minutes before getting done-at the 2 hour mark they were raw and rechecked them at 2 1/2 hours and they were still not tender. Probably won't hurt them to be in even longer than what I cooked them at. Next time I would spray them with cooking spray and if a person has bacon fat that would be good on them. My potatoes were not overly large either. Served with grilled chops and corn on the cob. Plan on saving the salt and reusing for next time. Made for my PAC Fall 2011 baby.
