Question

How do you know if your pierogies are pre-cooked?

Community Answer

It should say on the box. If not, call the retailer or manufacturer and ask.

Question

Can I put them in the fridge for a day before boiling them?

Community Answer

Absolutely! Pierogies are very versatile and easy. If you do leave them for a day in the fridge, you can saute them in butter or boil them softly until they float, then saute in butter with onions.

Question

The frozen package of pierogies were all stuck together when I opened the package. Can I place the whole thing into a pot of boiling water?

Community Answer

Absolutely. Once the stuck-together perogies warm up, the frost holding them together should melt and they will separate.

Question

After cooking them, can they be put in a roasting pan with the butter and onions and put in the oven on warm until time to serve?

Yes, they can absolutely be kept warm like this for a little while. Just put tinfoil over the pan and keep your oven on the lowest temperature or "keep warm" setting. However, if you're making them many hours ahead of time (say in the morning to serve later in the day), then store them in the refrigerator and simply reheat in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. You can cut one open to ensure they are warmed through before serving.

Question

I need to cook about 180 pierogies with onions and then hold them in a roaster for a party. Any ideas how to manage that?

Community Answer

You can boil them in batches as well as sauté the onions in batches. How many you can add depends on how big your pot and pan are. In a large stock pot, you could likely cook 50 pierogies at a time but for a normal soup pot, stick to about 20-25. Keep adding the batches into the roaster until you've reached your total.
