What can I do if my Pierogies are slightly freezer burned?
Freezer burn robs the dough of moisture. If your Pierogies appear slightly freezer burned, we suggest you put the Pierogies into the water while you are bringing the water to a boil. This returns moisture to the dough without overcooking the Pierogies.

If your Pierogies are stuck together, we suggest you place the Pierogies into boiling water for the normal cooking time of 5-7 minutes to boil apart.
