Choose Your Preferred Cooking Method:

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 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and beautifully golden.

2. Baking:

Preheat oven to $18 0^{\circ} C$ ( $35 0^{\circ} F$ ).
Place frozen pierogi on a baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 20 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 $18 0^{\circ} C$ ( $35 0^{\circ} F$ ).
Place frozen pierogi in the air fryer basket (a light spray of oil can help with crispiness).
Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until internal temperature reaches over $7 5^{\circ} C$ and they are golden.

4. Deep Frying:

Heat oil to approximately $175 - 18 0^{\circ} C$ ( $35 0^{\circ} F$ ).
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 $7 5^{\circ} C$ .

Note: Always ensure the internal temperature of your pierogi reaches over $7 5^{\circ} C$ (165°F) for food safety.
