1. How To Cook Frozen Potstickers in Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the frozen potstickers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Remove and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
The hot, circulating air in the fryer ensures an even cook, resulting in a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender filling.
2. How To Cook Frozen Potstickers in Microwave
Ingredients

Instructions
Arrange the frozen potstickers on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring they are not touching.
Cover the plate with a microwave-safe cover or use microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Check the potstickers after each minute to prevent overcooking.
Allow them to sit for a minute before serving.
The microwave method is a lifesaver when you need a quick snack or appetizer. Remember, they may not be as crispy, but they are still delicious!
3. How To Cook Frozen Potstickers on Stove
