To prepare, remove the plastic film from the pot pie. Place it on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Bake for the time indicated on the packaging, typically around 30-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Alternatively, some products can be microwaved, though oven baking often results in a crispier crust. Ensure the internal temperature is hot before serving.
