To prepare, remove the Hot Pocket from its packaging. Some varieties come with a crisping sleeve; if so, place the Hot Pocket inside the sleeve and then place it on a paper towel. Microwave on high for the time specified on the package, typically around 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, it can be baked in a conventional oven for a crispier crust. Allow it to stand for a minute or two before eating to avoid burning your mouth.
