      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

      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.

      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.)

      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. Prevents waste.

    I thought this was a picture of a menu in a restaurant

    Took me way to long to figure it out
