What are Spud Spikes®?
Quite simply, Spud Spikes are 6" long No. 316 food-grade stainless steel nails.
What should I do with Spud Spikes?
Insert them into your potatoes before baking to conduct oven heat into the center of your potato. Because Spud Spikes speed up baking time, they save you money on your utility bills.
Can I use Spud Spikes for other foods?
Yes, insert Spud Spikes into sweet potatoes or apples before baking and enjoy delicious baked vegetables and fruit. You can even insert them into meat to cut roasting time. Spud Spikes are based on such a simple concept—and they work so well!
Why use Spud Spikes?
Because Spud Spikes conduct oven heat into the center of your food, they speed up baking time. The less time your oven runs, the more you save on your utility bills! Enjoy delicious baked and roasted foods, not microwaved substitutes.
Will Spud Spikes save time?
Yes, Spud Spikes cut baking time almost in half so you can prepare oven-baked potatoes and roasted meat after you get home from work. While your potatoes bake, you'll have time to set your table, open a bottle of wine, and prepare the rest of your meal.
Why prick the potato skin before baking?
Good question! I've always heard you should prick the skin in several places so the potato doesn’t explode in the oven. This may be just an old wives' tale, but I think it's a "can't hurt and might help" kind of thing. It doesn't hurt the potato and only takes a few seconds to prick the skin with the point of the Spud Spike. I recommend you do it—it may save you from a big cleanup!
I can buy aluminum nails cheaper in my local stores, so why would I want to buy Spud Spikes?
That's easy—because food-grade stainless steel Spud Spikes are a safe heat conductor they don't leave dark marks in the potato like aluminum nails could. Aluminum nails may leave unappetizing and unattractive dark marks in the food, not something you want to serve your family or your guests. Also Spud Spikes has the structure strength to pierce a potato where as aluminum nails have the potential to bend!
