This is the most common way khổng lồ heat these up. They have directions on the back but just like I stated, I feel like for the most part it is 10 seconds too much.

SO I suggest cooking it just a bit shorter than recommended on the package. Try it first before you question what I am saying và see what I mean by this. There is a method khổng lồ my madness here friends.

First you MUST remove and discard the plastic wrapper off of the pocket. Then use the crisping sleeve that is included in the clear baggie. Slide your piece into the sleeve và set on a paper towel. Then heat in your microwave, if that is your method of choice, for 1 minute 50 seconds. If you choose lớn heat in your oven, air fryer or toaster oven you will not use this sleeve and the timing will be longer. I explain the proper time for those below.Fold the bottom pieces inward & seal. Slide the pocket up a bit và sit on the folded pieces as a holder. Enjoy.

Hot Pocket Cook Time Air Fryer

Ok so you can use this small kitchen appliance to heat it up too. It takes a bit longer than microwaving. We did make homemade air fryer hot pockets the other day with defrosted Rhodes dough. Adding pizza filling into the center turned out fabulous but you can cook frozen hot pockets this way too.

You can see our homemade version here filled with pizza ingredients. You could easily make a dessert version too this way using refrigerated or frozen dough. Even with the frozen versions it is my favorite method by far.

Hot Pocket Cook Time Conventional Oven

This is the longest method. You’d need lớn preheat your oven to 350 degrees F khổng lồ bake your hot pockets. Set on a cookie sheet without the sleeves & bake for about 28 minutes. In a convection oven it would only take about 12 lớn 15 minutes, better but still a lot longer than the other methods.

Heating hot pockets in the oven work well if that is all you have. I think a piece of parchment paper is handy to lớn have on the bottom in case anything leaks out.

Carefully remove baking sheet with an oven mitt of course. Let sit for a minute or two và then enjoy. Internal temperature of 165 is recommended but the insides are previously cooked.

If you only have a toaster oven you’d use the same temperature as above but since it is a smaller unit you’d be closer khổng lồ 12 ish minutes too.
