- We're taking your cold leftover pizza
and bringing it back to life with Hot Pocket sleeves.
On the inside, it's lined with something called a susceptor,
which sounds like
an amazing Star Wars slash Transformers thing.
What these susceptors do
is they take microwaves and turn it into radiant heat.
Like that heat is what actually crisps the outside of this.
SO if you think about this,
you can actually have crispy heat inside a microwave,
which is notorious
for making everything hard, soggy, too dense, awful.
This is gonna solve all that.
Now, there are two types of susceptors.
You get the regular Hot Pocket,
it's gonna be a small, thin one
that kinda loosely fits over.
Now the croissant crust is wider,
which means you can fit more stuff in it.
What do you reheat that always gets killed in the microwave?
Pizza.
Day-old pizza.
Now I know some of you are like,
"I love cold pizza,"
and, you know, we always get by,
but what if you could put this in the microwave,
and instead of it dying,
you can get back the crispy bottom,
the leoparding, beautifully melted cheese on top,
like it was fresh pizza?
Now, some of people go, "Put a glass of water in the thing."
(mumbling and whining)
No.
So what we're gonna do is take a knife,
and all we're gonna do is cut the pizza to fit these.
Now how do we make it longer?
This is a longer piece.
Well, maybe you just slide two together.
So now we have extra long piece,
and we can slide our pizza inside.
All you need to do is take this,
put it in the microwave,
one minute,
here we go.
Susceptor.
Boom.
Pizza time.
Comes out, you slide that out, and look.
Top beautifully melty, and listen.
That is no longer soggy.
That is pizza time.
This actually tastes like it was out of the oven.
It's still soft in the center, crispy on the outside.
You thought that was it?
You thought that was over?
We got another one for you.
This is not just about reheating pizza.
We're gonna show you what these susceptors can do.
What about to get crispety and crunchy on the outside,
but still soft on the inside,
what about taking one of these and making grilled cheese?
Bonus dish.
Croissant height.
Two pieces of bread.
Huh.
It's funny.
Give you a little bit of space on each side,
so you don't have to waste anything.
This part is pretty simple.
You're gonna take some room-temp butter,
you're gonna spread it on the outside,
and that's how you're gonna get
that nice, crispy, golden crust.
A little salt on the outside never hurts.
So we have our buttered sides.
We're gonna flip it over.
Just take some cheese.
Layer it.
Put it right in the middle.
We're gonna take these.
This guy.
We're gonna slide it in the susceptor.
Woah, butter's coming off.
Don't film that.
Boom.
That's a little cheese thing.
A little bread thing.
Take it, throw it in the microwave, bam.
So that susceptor right now,
it's taking all those microwaves
and turning them into radiant heat,
and when as soon as it's coming in contact
with the butter on top of the bread,
it's gonna speed up that process just like a broiler,
like getting the crispy part
of the outside of the steak out of the broiler,
that's all we're doing here
with the butter on the outside of the bread
as we're getting it beautifully crispy and brown.
(sighs)
Culinary school.
I'm smelling cheese being melted.
I'm kind of hearing it being melted,
but I'm smelling butter and toasted bread as well.
What's to hate about that?
I'm sure someone will find it in the comments below.
Alright, let's take this out.
(groaning) Caliente.
There you go.

Can kinda just fold this up and use a knife,
but this is You Can Do This,
and we're not gonna make it that easy.
We'll look at this.
