Our Frozen Pierogi!
Pierogi are little pockets of joy, filled with delicious flavors that bring warmth and comfort to every bite. But did you know there’s more than one way to cook them? Whether you like them crispy, soft, or somewhere in between, this guide will walk you through all the best methods to get your pierogi just the way you love them. Discover the perfect preparation method to suit your taste, from boiling to sautéing, baking to air frying. Let’s turn your frozen pierogi into a mouthwatering masterpiece with these easy-to-follow cooking techniques!
Boil
For a classic and soft pierogi experience, boiling is the way to go. Boil 4 quarts of water, add your frozen pierogi, and return to a boil. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes, then drain and serve. Perfectly tender every time!
Saute
Craving a crispy, golden exterior with a tender inside? Sautéing is your answer. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat, add your pierogi, and cook for about 8 minutes on each side until perfectly browned.
Bake
For an easy, hands-off approach, try baking. Preheat your oven to 400°F, spray a cooking sheet and both sides of the frozen pierogi with nonstick spray, and bake for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway. The result? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside!
Deep Fry
Ready for a golden, crunchy pierogi? Preheat your fryer to 350°F and cook for about 4 minutes, or until browned and floating. Perfect for those who love that satisfying crunch with every bite!
Air Fry
Air fryers bring out the best in pierogi with minimal oil! Toss your mini pierogi in one tablespoon of olive oil, place them in the air fryer, and cook at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Add extra time for extra crispiness!
Grill
Take your pierogi outdoors! Preheat your grill to 400°F, spray the pierogi with olive oil or butter, and grill for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy the smoky flavor that only grilling can provide!
Microwave
Short on time? The microwave has you covered. Place frozen pierogi in a microwave-safe bowl, cover them with water, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on HIGH for 7 minutes. Drain and enjoy!
Steam
For a softer bite with a touch of sautéed flavor, steam your pierogi. Place them in a slotted or solid pan with a bit of oil, and steam for 10-12 minutes. They’ll come out soft, savory, and delicious.
No matter how you cook them, our pierogi are the perfect comfort food, ready to satisfy your cravings. Experiment with each method and find your favorite way to enjoy these hand-pinched, flavor-packed delights!
