Never cook dumplings like this: a mistake that spoils everything

Frozen dumplings in the freezer always come in handy when making a quick meal. They are quite satisfying, and both children and adults like them. But dumplings can be easily spoiled if you dip them in water at the wrong temperature.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what kind of water you shouldn't put frozen dumplings in. This is an important nuance that affects the taste and texture.

What kind of water should you put frozen dumplings in:

Cold water is not suitable, because the dumplings will immediately stick together and turn into one solid lump. You will simply spoil the products. But you can't throw dumplings into boiling water either – they will immediately crack, and the meat and dough will be separate.

Therefore, hot water is the best for frozen dumplings. There will be no sudden temperature drop and the products will cook well.

What to do if you've already put the dumplings in boiling water

You can try adding a little cold water to make the temperature optimal. But it will take more time to cook this way.

A good solution is to soak frozen dumplings in water before cooking. They will soften slightly and adapt perfectly to the water temperature. The dough will be elastic and will not crack in the pan.
