Nestle Hot Pocket

Hot Pockets are a frozen, hand-held snack: a filled pastry pocket meant to be heated and eaten without a plate. The listing doesn't give a flavor, filling, pack size or weight. Check the package for those before ordering for a specific taste or dietary need. Products in this style usually have a soft, bread-like dough around a savory filling, such as cheese, pepperoni or a meat-and-cheese mix. Many come with a crisping sleeve, a microwave-safe sleeve that browns the crust. Without one, the crust tends to come out soft and slightly chewy. Always follow the heating time and wattage on the package, since cook times vary by flavor and microwave. Let the pocket rest for a minute or two after heating. The filling holds heat far longer than the crust, and a short rest evens out the temperature and makes the first bite less scalding. Cutting it open lets steam escape, though it also cools the filling faster. For a quick meal, serve it with a side salad, raw vegetables or a cup of tomato soup. Dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch or mustard suit most savory flavors. Cold drinks, such as iced tea, soda or sparkling water, work better than hot ones alongside it.
