I noticed recently that Hot Pockets at some point in the last ~ 8 years removed the crisping sleeve for cooking them in the microwave (I hadn't bought them in a long time). They claim that it was done to reduce packaging waste. In reality, they just made the product shittier to save a few cents per unit. Now you have to cook it in the oven for 30 minutes to have it be crispy, or have a rubbery hot pocket if you use the microwave. It was the first time I bought them in ~ 8 years, and I won't be buying them again.
Air fryer seems like it would be good here
Haven't had those in forever but you could probably pop them in the air fryer or even the toaster oven for half that time.
The last time I recall eating a Hot Pocket was in like 2014 during a week-long power outage. Was using a propane heater to not freeze to death and put the hot pockets over top of that on a wire rack. They came out surprisingly good ๐
I think they added an air fryer cook method to the instructions as well. I didn't want to deal with getting the air fryer out for a freaking hot pocket of all things.
My air fryer never leaves the counter, but it's also a toaster oven and grill. I can easily cook for the two of us with that and haven't baked anything in the big oven in months.
The grill plate works great but it's a PITA to clean up after grilling something that splatters a lot, so I don't use that much.
Hilariously there was minor backlash about this, they sent out silicone hot pocket holders as a gesture of goodwill if you requested it.
Imma hit em up so I'm prepared in 8 years for my next pocket.
First you said you wouldn't be buying a hot pocket ever again. Then you decided you will buy one every eight years?
Shit, I'm a hypocrite. Brb gonna go commit sudoku.
Nothin wrong with punishing yourself by number puzzle.
