Cooking Instructions Pierogi

Hot Tip: Finish off all hot savoury pierogi with a sprinkle of salt and smoked paprika, just like hot chips!

Once Pierogi are parboiled, you can always let them cool before taking them to the next level:

1. Pan-Frying (Recommended for Golden & Crispy):

• Add a little oil or butter to a frying pan.

• Start on a low to medium heat to gently defrost the pierogi in the pan.

• Once the pierogi start to puff up, increase the heat to get that desired golden, brown crispiness.

• Cook for approximately 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and beautifully golden.

2. Baking:

• Preheat oven to 180∘C (350∘F).

• Place frozen pierogi on a baking sheet.

• Bake for approximately 7 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned.

• Hot Tip: Add cheese and other toppings halfway through baking to create a "nachos" style meal!

3. Air Frying:

• Set your air fryer to 180∘C (350∘F).

• Place frozen pierogi in the air fryer basket (a light spray of oil can help with crispiness).

• Cook for 4 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until internal temperature reaches over 75∘C and they are golden.

4. Deep Frying:

• Heat oil to approximately 175−180∘C (350∘F).

• Carefully place frozen pierogi into the hot oil.

• Deep fry for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches over 75∘C.

Note: Always ensure the internal temperature of your pierogi reaches over 75∘C (165°F) for food safety.
