How long does it take to bake potatoes in the oven?

This will depend on the size of the potatoes and the heat of the oven.

If you want to bake potatoes in their jackets a useful technique is to push a metal knife (It must be completely metal like a stainless steel dining knife with no bone or plastic handles) or metal skewer right through or at least into the middle of each potato - the metal will conduct the heat into the centre of the potato and this will reduce the cooking time.

If the potatoes are large you may want to halve or quarter them and place them on a baking tray. Peeling the potatoes and cutting them into smaller portions will also reduce baking time. If you pack them close together they will take longer to cook, so space them out.

Generally about 30 - 40 minutes in a moderate oven should be enough to bake a medium sized potato. Unless you have a small oven, or are baking something else in the oven at the same time, it is not a cost effective way of cooking potatoes.

Some like them looser than others.

Should you cover your ham with foil while baking?

yes, due to the length of time it takes to bake a ham, you need to protect the outside of the ham from getting tough. the moisture in the ham would dissipate too fast friom the surface and it would be very dry. some cooks remove the foil the last 10-15 minutes so browning occues or a sauce is applied for taste.

What are all the reasons that eggs are used in baking?

I'm going to answer this assuming you mean regular chicken eggs. The four types of eggs used in baking are whole eggs, egg yolks, egg whites, and meringue.

This is commonly done with many cake recipes to increase the volume and lightness of the cake.

Proving or Proofing dough makes little air bubbles in the dough. The air bubbles make the dough light and airy, instead of hard and flat. To test if dough has risen or Proofed enough, poke the loaf. If the poke leaves a hole, the dough is ready. If the dough springs back right away, it needs more proofing/proving.
