How Long to Cook a Hot Pocket

Introduction

When the craving for a Hot Pocket strikes, you want to get that tasty treat in your mouth as quickly as possible. But how long do you wait before taking it out of the oven? The answer is not what you might expect!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. If you’re using a convection oven, reduce the temperature by 10 degrees (to 365).

Use an oven thermometer to check for accuracy–if it’s not within 5 degrees of what you’ve set, adjust accordingly. Don’t rely on just looking at the dial or reading from a recipe; these can be off by as much as 20 degrees!

If using a microwave to heat up your Hot Pocket, be sure not to overheat it. If microwaving is necessary due to lack of access to an oven or burner (e.g., camping), keep in mind that microwaves tend not only lose heat quickly but also won’t distribute heat evenly throughout their contents–so make sure everything stays even while cooking!

Remove the wrapping from the hot pocket and place it in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

Remove the wrapping from the hot pocket and place it in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes. You can also use a toaster oven, but make sure you use a long-slot toaster so your hot pocket doesn’t get squished. If you don’t have an oven on hand, just pop it into your microwave (with some water) or use one of those handy little portable microwaves that plug into any outlet.

  • Preheat your oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit if you want to cook off some calories along with your Hot Pocket!
  • Don’t forget about checking up on your snack periodically while it’s cooking!
