Question

How long do I leave them in the toaster, and do I have to flip the toaster horizontally or something?

Community Answer

No need to flip, just leave it standing and put it on the lowest setting. The Pop-Tarts are already cooked, you're just warming them.

Question

Can I put Pop Tarts in a toaster sideways?

Community Answer

If your toaster is big enough, then sure; just be sure that it doesn't burn. Most toasters aren’t big enough, though.

Question

Can I cook Pop Tarts in an oven?

Community Answer

Pop-Tarts are already cooked, you're just supposed to warm them up. You could try to warm them in an oven, just on a low temperature for a small amount of time. You would get the best results using a toaster, though.

Yes, this is fine. Many people enjoy it cooked since it has a toasted flavor, but it's not a must.

Question

Can I keep the foil wrapping on them?

Community Answer

No, that is very dangerous. If you heat a Pop Tart inside the foil, it can cause a fire.
