  It is a ton of extra slow to degrade paper waste they are removing. Seems like a win to me. If they get crispy without the sleeve, who cares? Wrap it in a paper towel if you need to carry it out the door, that’s still less paper waste that degrades in the environment faster.

    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

      Yeah, I always preferred the toaster oven for those things. Microwaves ruin most foods.

    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 disposing of 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.

      I don’t think the entire human race is active on Lemmy just quite yet.

  If you’re using an oven, get one of those elevated air fry basket trays. I’ve done hot pockets in those before and they come out super crispy. Reusable so it’s a one time expenditure. Cook it about 10% longer than instructed to get it crispier. Air Frier Tray

    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.

  Just use an air fryer or toaster oven. The sleeves were garbage anyway and made little difference.

  Took me way to long to figure it out

  Is there a cottage industry of sleevemakers yet? Cuz that wouldn’t be surprising at all.
