Hot pockets are a great way to have a quick meal or get a snack when you are not that hungry. They are tasty and come in so many varieties that it is hard to get bored. The only downside is heating them.
A foolproof way of heating hot pockets is to pop them unwrapped in an oven preheated at 350F and bake them for 28 minutes. However, most people don’t have that much time and prefer to use their microwave.
Heating hot pockets in a microwave is a lot less reliable. While they get done in a couple of minutes, you never know what you’re getting. They can turn out perfectly one time and then be cold or tongue-burning hot in the middle the next.
Luckily, there is a simple hack that can make heating up hot pockets in a microwave perfect every time.
How to Heat Hot Pockets in a Microwave
To heat up hot pockets in a microwave perfectly each time, pop them in on high and let them spin for 75% of the suggested time on the package. Then, take them out, shake them, and let them finish the cycle.
By shaking the hot pockets, you will mix up the hot and cold portions of the filling. This will lead to an even heating of the filling and make every bite perfect.
