We saw an advertisement for DiGiorno Stromboli. All of the comments said it was a glorified hot pocket, but DiGiorno claimed it was not a hot pocket at all. We wanted to put them to the test. Are they a glorified hot pocket or are they something else? First up in the challenge is the oven. This is a brand new video just released to our channel. WHAT TO EXPECT |
We looked at each box & food item prior to putting it in the oven. We noticed that the Stromboli box had a perforated edge, but the Hot Pocket box did not. The Stromboli cost more than the Hot Pocket. The Hot Pocket was slightly smaller in size than the Stromboli and the Stromboli appeared to have more seasoning on it than the Hot Pocket so it looked fancier. The crisping sleeves for the microwave looked almost identical, but one was larger. Stromboli temp was 375 for 27 minutes and the Hot Pocket was 350 for 28 minutes. We decided to use the Stromboli temp and time and bake them both together. Upon pulling the pan out of the oven, Mrs. Like made an error in judgement and touched the pan with her bare finger. OUCH! The Stromboli had way more flavor than the Hot Pocket, but if you take into account the price difference we aren't sure it's worth the extra cost for the extra flavor especially considering how much better being oven baked made the Hot Pocket itself. However if you take price out of the equation, the Stromboli was definitely better. We decided we MUST microwave both the Stromboli & the Hot Pocket in order to do a comprehensive review of the two different food items for another taste test. Were we pigs or were our eyes bigger than our stomach? Find out on Wednesday on 10/16/2020 BEHIND THE SCENES |
NOTE FROM EDITOR| We didn't expect this to be a two part episode. We had truly only planned to do the oven baked Hot Pocket vs Stromboli, but it had been so long since we had eaten a hot pocket in the microwave we couldn't remember exactly what the difference would be. So stay tuned for the Microwave edition coming out on Wednesday.
