If you ate moldy bread, toss the whole loaf, rinse your mouth, watch for symptoms, and contact a clinician if you’re high-risk or feel unwell.

On a medium-hot gas grill, potatoes bake 45–75 minutes, depending on size, until centers reach 205–210°F.

For baked potatoes in an air fryer, cook whole russets 35–55 minutes at 400°F until the center hits 205–212°F and the skins turn crackly.

Slow cooker baked potatoes take 4–5 hours on High or 7–8 hours on Low, depending on size and moisture.

A medium russet wrapped in a paper towel cooks in 5–7 minutes on High, with 2–3 minutes standing to finish steaming.

For baking a potato at 425°F, plan 45–60 minutes until the center hits 205–212°F and the skin turns crisp.

Baked potato time at 400°F runs 45–70 minutes, depending on size, thickness, and oven type.

Baking a potato at 350°F takes 60–75 minutes for medium russets; size, oven accuracy, and foil can shift timing.

To bake a potato, heat oven to 220°C/425°F, oil and salt the skin, and roast on a rack until the center is fluffy and the jacket turns crisp.

One medium plain bagel packs about 260–300 calories; size, recipe, and toppings swing the total.
