Idle question. I've always heard that you need to prick the skins before baking a potato. The potential consequence for failure to do so is a catastrophic potato explosion.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

Hotdogs, on the other hand, do sometimes explode because of all the trapped moisture becoming steam
