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.
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.)

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
Sous vide at 170 F for 1 hour, finish with a torch.
You can replicate the authentic hot outside frozen inside if you skip the sous vide and just torch it.

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.
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.
