It would seem that there is nothing complicated about cooking dumplings.
It is enough to simply place a pan of water on the stove, and then pour the frozen semi-finished product into the boiling water.
But in the above actions one gross error is mentioned.
It turns out that you can’t throw dumplings into boiling water: a sharp change in temperature can have an extremely negative effect on the product.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a cook and fourth-class baker, spoke about the consequences of a common mistake and the correct ways to cook dumplings.
What happens if you throw frozen dumplings into boiling water
The first unpleasant consequence: the dumplings may burst and become overcooked.
The second possible problem: the culinary products will stick together. This will happen due to the "sticking" of starch.
How to cook dumplings correctly
There are two approaches to heat treatment of frozen semi-finished products.
The first option: you can put the dumplings in a container with cold water for a couple of minutes. As a result, the product will be prepared for boiling water.
The second option: pour the dumplings into the water not after it boils, but when the liquid temperature is about 50 degrees.
Choose one of these options and you will get perfect boiled dumplings.
Culinary products will definitely remain whole, will not stick together or overcook.
