Isotopes are atoms of the same element (that is, with the same number of protons in their atomic nucleus), but having different numbers of neutrons. Most (66 of 94) naturally occurring elements have more than one stable isotope. Thus, for example, there are three main isotopes of carbon.
According to Nestle, the parent company of Hot Pockets, a frozen Hot Pockets Cheeseburger sandwich should cook for 2 minutes in a 1100 watt microwave oven. A refrigerated sandwich cooks for 1 minute. In a 700 watt microwave oven, a frozen Hot Pockets Cheeseburger sandwich cooks for 2 minutes 15 seconds.
Set the microwave to its âdefrost,â âlowâ or Power 3 setting. Microwave in 30-second increments to thaw a frozen hot dog. Set the microwave timer for 15 to 20 seconds at high power, using the lesser time for high-wattage microwaves. For jumbo hot dogs, start with a cook time of 25 to 30 seconds. Microwave in additional increments of 5 to 10 seconds, if needed, until the hot dog is heated through and steaming. This gradual cooking process reduces the chance of an overheated hot dog exploding in the microwave.
