You’re supposed to microwave it for a few minutes to cook/heat it, and then it’ll be edible. As a result, many people seek for warm, filling, and soothing meals.įor those who are unfamiliar, a Hot Pocket is a frozen Pop-tart stuffed with meat and sauce rather than fruit. But don’t worry, we’ll go through the best Hot Pocket cooking timings in a microwave and an oven later today. Hot Pockets are known for either coming out scorching hot or with the core still frozen. The great mix of ingredients in them along with an ample amount of oregano reminds me of eating an Italian Meatball Sub smothered with mozzarella (without the smothered.lol).How long does it take to cook 2 hot pockets in microwave or in oven? I will show you the best cooking times and temperatures for 2 hot pockets. I need to take medication every 8 hours and one of these is just big enough to buffer my stomach from the medication, but not big enough to fill me up too much before bedtime. My doctor is happy and thats makes me happy! **Bottom Line **For a quick snack anytime during the day or night Hot Pockets can fill the need and with a pretty good taste at that. So I do try to limit my total fat intake to 110g a day or less and with this only using 12g it is not too bad. I myself have never had a problem with watching what I eat, although I did inherit high fat in my blood from my parents. Although the sodium content is a bit high at 760mg., there is also 12g of fat of which none of that is trans fat. it fits the bill well for a snack during the day. At only 300 calories, 110 of that is fat calories. For my tastes it could use a little more cheese though but hey many people don't like a bunch so it is fair.

The taste is ok, and I like that they now have lean pocket options but I don't really think they are worth it. No matter how I alter the time or use the suggested time for cooking, they never come out correct, either ends are almost burnt and center frozen or its not fully cooked or over cooked. The cooking consistantcy just isnt right. I don't know how I always manage to overcook or undercook. These have been around for years, so you would imagine that by now I would be able to get the cooking time down just right, even though I followed the cooking instructions and I am aware sometimes you need to tweak them depending on your microwave oven, they never seem to cook consistantly.
