Introduction

Cooking a hot pocket in the microwave is no easy feat. It takes some fiddling around with power settings and heating times, but it can be done. You just need to find the perfect combination of power and time that gives you a piping hot pizza pocket that is still gooey on the inside.

Cook time is critical when it comes to cooking hot pockets.

Cooking time is critical when it comes to cooking hot pockets. The cooking time depends on the power setting, and the power of your microwave. You also need to consider how thick your hot pocket is. The best way to tell if it’s done? Look at the color of the filling inside!

The microwave is not your friend when it comes to cooking food.

Microwaves are not your friend when it comes to cooking food. Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to heat food, which means they’re only capable of heating the surface of a substance–they can’t penetrate deep inside a piece of meat or vegetable and change its molecular structure in any meaningful way. This means that microwave cooking results in unevenly cooked meals with dry spots where no heat has penetrated the food.

Microwave ovens also operate at high temperatures compared to other methods, so they take longer than other methods (like baking) do: The average microwave uses 2,500 watts per cubic foot; an oven ranges from 500 watts per cubic foot (gas) up through 2,000 watts per cubic foot (electric).

If you want a hot pocket faster, get an air popper.

If you want a hot pocket faster, get an air popper. An air popper will cook your hot pocket in less time than the microwave and it’s easier to clean.

But what if you don’t have access to an air popper? Or maybe you do but just want another option? Well, then use the microwave!

The microwave is a great way to cook things that need just heat, not moisture.

The microwave is a great way to cook things that need just heat, not moisture. If you want to reheat something without drying it out or burning the edges, the microwave is your best bet.

However, if you’re trying to cook something in the microwave and want it to come out as good as it would on an electric burner or in a pan–without having anything else added–you may be disappointed with your results. Some foods just don’t do well under those conditions because they retain too much moisture when they’re cooked this way; others end up being mushy because there isn’t enough heat applied evenly throughout the food (this is especially true for meats).

The key to cooking the best hot pockets is the perfect combination of power and time in your microwave.

The key to cooking the best hot pockets is the perfect combination of power and time in your microwave. If you don’t cook it long enough, your Hot Pocket will be cold and rubbery. If you cook it too long, your Hot Pocket will be burnt on one side and raw on the other side–not very appetizing!

We recommend using at least 800 Watts of power when microwaving Hot Pockets because they are so dense and heavy (they contain more than 50% meat). This means that if you want a hot pocket faster, get an air popper! The microwave is a great way to cook things that need just heat, not moisture; but if all else fails… consider eating something else instead!

Cooking a hot pocket in the microwave takes some fiddling around with power settings and heating times.

The first step when cooking a hot pocket in the microwave is to find the right power setting. To do this, you’ll need to experiment with your microwave’s settings and see what works best for you.

For example, if you have a 900-watt microwave like mine (a common wattage), then try using these settings:

• Power level: HIGH
• Time: 30 seconds on HIGH
