It doesn’t get crispy, but on the other hand, less microplastics on your food, so that’s a fine trade anyways.
Pro tip: microwave for half the microwave time, then bake for half the baking time. That reproduces the original crispiness without the sleeve
Sous vide at 170 F for 1 hour, finish with a torch.
You can replicate the authentic hot outside frozen inside if you skip the sous vide and just torch it.

Microwave to defrost toaster to cook
The important thing is that Nestlé saves a cent or two on each box of Hot Pockets they produce.
I mean at best though, it’s admitting they had something wasteful and useless for the last several decades and only just now figured that out.
I definitely recall reading an article on /r/Futurology about breakthroughs in Hot Pocket technology about a decade ago. Seems those advances have finally made their way to the production line and the sleeves are now no longer required.
Well yeah, it required a whole next level of Hot Pockets™ mastery!
They don’t crisp without the sleeve. Recently bought a box and was confused at first.
Oh well, just like most other things, to the little oven it goes.
I don’t buy paper towels as my own means of decreasing paper waste. I end up putting these things in aluminum foil, which I think is more expensive for me (I don’t have a microwave or toaster oven.)
Stop buying anything from Nestle.
This should have eight billion upvotes.
I don’t think the entire human race is active on Lemmy just quite yet.
“We found a way to save a quarter of a cent per hotpocket, but were going to frame it like we’re doing it for YOU!”
…aaaand the environment

Just get a bigger combination air fryer/toaster oven. They’re a total game changer and way more efficient than using your kitchen oven. I haven’t found a frozen pizza yet that won’t fit inside ours, there’s almost zero preheating time, and the air fryer portion works great for fries, tots, nuggets, etc.
I thought this was a picture of a menu in a restaurant
Took me way to long to figure it out
Just use an air fryer or toaster oven. The sleeves were garbage anyway and made little difference. Prevents waste.
Is there a cottage industry of sleevemakers yet? Cuz that wouldn’t be surprising at all.
