To prepare, remove the pastry from its packaging. Some varieties are designed for microwave heating, while others can be cooked in a conventional oven for a crispier result. Follow the specific heating instructions on the package for best results. It is important to ensure the product is heated thoroughly before consumption. Allow it to cool slightly after heating, as the filling can be very hot.
