hot pockets

[vitalicvision]

i have to admit that sometimes i really do enjoy hot pockets... but they are a bitch when you eat them. i have been enjoying the spinach artichoke chicken lean pockets lately... but have burned my mouth when getting to the center every single time. i guess this is the price you pay for eating pocketed foods.

Hahahaha, Jim Gaffigan has to be single handedly responsible for the resurgence of the popularity of these things.

I like the turkey and cheese lean pockets. ;-)

and do you, too, burn your mouth?

You know, mine tend to err on the side of cold and rubbery in the middle!

I tend to cook them in short increments in order to avoid the molten mouth unpleasant surprise!

What *does* often happen is, I take a bite and hot napalm-like grease bursts from one corner and runs down my hand. DAMN PEPPERONI HOT POCKET!!

oh god, i have had the hot grease surprise before and it is NO FUN at all!

upon further thought, i might try the cold/rubbery approach... being the eccentric eater that i am, i would probably much prefer an undercooked pocket to one that brings tears to my eyes and burns raw spots in my mouth.

also: once, i cooked a hot pocket in a toaster oven b/c i didn't have a microwave. it took AN HOUR to cook, but it was the most delicious, evenly-heated hot pocket i've ever had.
