Best Tips for Perfect Hot Pockets
- Preheating the Air Fryer before adding the Hot Pockets seals the outside making them extra crispy.
- Place a piece of parchment paper in the Air Fryer for quick and easy cleanup. PRO TIP: A coffee filter fits perfectly in an Air Fryer basket and is cheaper than parchment paper.
- Place Hot Pockets in the Air Fryer basket with enough room between them so the heat can flow properly.
- Leftover hot pockets (as if!) can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat in the Air Fryer by spraying them with a little cooking spray to re-crisp them.

Can u freeze these and reheat later??
Hi Latisha, I haven’t tried but you should be able to. I would let them thaw overnight before popping in the air fryer for best results! Enjoy!
Do you have to precook bacon and sausage
Yes use cooked bacon or ham. Although you can just cook them in the Vortex first!
