CAN YOU COOK A HOT POCKET IN THE AIR FRYER?
Yes, you can cook a hot pocket in the air fryer.
We actually suggest and prefer this cooking method over a microwave!
HOW TO MAKE HOT POCKETS IN AIR FRYER
- Remove hot pockets from the packaging.
- Put raw hot pockets into the air fryer basket. Air fry the pockets at 370F/189C for 11-13 minutes.
- Be sure to flip the pockets mid way through the time.
- Cut the pockets in half and enjoy!
HOW LONG DO I COOK A HOT POCKET?
Typically, you cook a hot pocket for 2 minutes in the microwave, but when you use the air fryer you need to adjust the time.
When making air fryer pockets, we suggest you cook at 370F/189C for 11-13 minutes. This cooks the hot pocket evenly and heats throughout.
DO YOU HAVE TO CLEAN AIR FRYER AFTER EVERY USE?
Yes, you need to clean your air fryer after every use.
Even when you are cooking foods that aren’t messy, they can and will leave a residue on your air fryer.
Its best to use soap and water to clean your air fryer baskets and air fryer trays.
Some air fryers have dishwasher safe components, be sure to check your manual to see if yours is compatible with dishwashing!
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven.
If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
