Stop buying anything from Nestle.
This should have eight billion upvotes.
I don’t think the entire human race is active on Lemmy just quite yet.
“We found a way to save a quarter of a cent per hotpocket, but were going to frame it like we’re doing it for YOU!”
If you’re using an oven, get one of those elevated air fry basket trays. I’ve done hot pockets in those before and they come out super crispy. Reusable so it’s a one time expenditure. Cook it about 10% longer than instructed to get it crispier. Air Fryer Tray
It is a ton of extra slow to degrade paper waste they are removing. Seems like a win to me. If they get crispy without the sleeve, who cares? Wrap it in a paper towel if you need to carry it out the door, that’s still less paper waste that degrades in the environment faster.
The important thing is that Nestlé saves a cent or two on each box of Hot Pockets they produce.
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
Yeah, I always preferred the toaster oven for those things. Microwaves ruin most foods.
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.
