Wow, this is a fantastic video. I was working on this exact same video this week, then decided to check if anyone else had made it. Guess I'll scratch mine because this is fantastic. Gonna send this to my league team. Good stuff, Smirky!
new player here from valorant and i definitely needed this the alternative is playing a shit load of games to learn this but i have cs vets like you to thank for catching me up thank you
Hi @SmirkyCS this is an awesome content and helps a lot! Just as a suggestion, instead of having the time for how long does it take to meet, would be more useful if you stamp what time in the round you would meet, lets say at 1:47 of the round you will meet at certain position.
I wont do a video similar to this but I have done other videos showing a bunch of different AWP peeks on different maps (CT and T side) Havent done any for CS2 but I will probably soon Maybe my next vid idk
Microwaving a Hot Pocket to perfection requires a nuanced understanding of microwave wattage, Hot Pocket type, and personal preference for doneness. Here’s a detailed exploration of the factors involved and a step-by-step guide to achieve the ideal outcome. Factors Affecting Microwave Timing ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. Microwave Wattage: Microwaves come in various wattages, typically ranging from 600 watts to 1200 watts or more. Higher wattage microwaves cook food faster and more evenly. 2. Hot Pocket Type: Different varieties of Hot Pockets (e.g., ham and cheese, pepperoni pizza, beef taco) have varying ingredients, densities, and moisture content, affecting the cooking time. 3. Frozen vs. Thawed: Whether the Hot Pocket is fully frozen or partially thawed impacts the cooking duration. 4. Microwave Turntable: Microwaves with a rotating turntable tend to cook food more evenly compared to those without. 5. Personal Preference: Some people prefer their Hot Pockets slightly crispy, while others like them softer and more doughy. Step-by-Step Guide to Microwaving a Hot Pocket ----------------------------------------------------------- Step 1: Check the Microwave Wattage First, determine the wattage of your microwave. This information is usually found on a label inside the microwave door or in the user manual. If it’s not readily available, you can estimate based on cooking times of other common items (e.g., popcorn). Step 2: Understand the Cooking Instructions Refer to the packaging of the Hot Pocket for the manufacturer’s recommended cooking times based on different wattages. For example, a typical instruction might read: For 1100-watt microwave: Cook on high for 2 minutes. For 700-watt microwave: Cook on high for 3 minutes, 10 seconds. These instructions serve as a starting point. Step 3: Adjust for Microwave Turntable If your microwave does not have a rotating turntable, you may need to stop halfway through the cooking process to rotate the Hot Pocket 180 degrees. This ensures more even heating. Step 4: Frozen vs. Thawed If your Hot Pocket is partially thawed, reduce the recommended cooking time by about 30 seconds to 1 minute to avoid overcooking. Step 5: Cooking Process Prepare the Hot Pocket: Remove the Hot Pocket from the packaging and place it in the crisping sleeve provided. The sleeve helps achieve a crispy outer texture. Place in Microwave: Put the Hot Pocket (in its sleeve) on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on High: Use the microwave on high setting based on the wattage-adjusted time from the instructions. For example: In a 1000-watt microwave, start with the manufacturer’s 2-minute recommendation. For a 700-watt microwave, use the 3 minutes, 10 seconds guideline, but consider checking after 3 minutes. Pause and Rotate: If your microwave lacks a turntable, pause halfway through the cooking time to rotate the Hot Pocket for even cooking. Step 6: Check for Doneness After the initial cooking time, check the Hot Pocket for doneness: Carefully feel the outer edges of the Hot Pocket. They should be hot to the touch. Gently press on the center to see if it’s adequately heated. Step 7: Additional Time if Needed If the center is still cold or not sufficiently hot, microwave in additional 15-30 second increments. Each microwave varies, so adjust based on how the Hot Pocket feels and your personal preference. Step 8: Let it Sit Once the Hot Pocket is fully cooked, let it sit in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes. This resting period allows the heat to distribute evenly and ensures the filling is not too hot when you bite into it.

I have added those times already in the video towards the end of each map
you are the goat bro, awesome video for new players
❤
Good video man!
Appreciate it
video idea : best spawn on t and ct side for awp picks in every map
this would be awesome
I wont do a video similar to this but I have done other videos showing a bunch of different AWP peeks on different maps (CT and T side)
Havent done any for CS2 but I will probably soon
Maybe my next vid idk
:* glad to help
Appreciate it!
very nice bro thx!
Whats the timing to microwave my Hot Pocket just right?
