To prepare, remove the pot pie from its packaging. If there is a plastic film, peel it back slightly or remove it completely as per the package instructions. Place the pot pie on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on high power for the time recommended on the packaging, typically a few minutes, until the filling is hot and the crust is warmed through. Allow it to stand for a minute or two before consuming.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional oven-baked pot pies, this microwaveable version is designed for speed and convenience. The crust may have a slightly different texture than oven-baked varieties, often being softer due to the steaming effect of microwave cooking. The filling is pre-cooked and ready to heat.
