Why do perogies float when cooked?
Whether something floats or sinks depends on how heavy it is for its size—its density. If a pierogi has a density greater than the density of water, it will sink. If it’s less dense than water, it will float. It seemed to us that pierogies change density when cooked, so we started by measuring this effect.
Why do my pierogies stick to the pan?
The reason your pierogies stuck is because they were wet and because you tried to move them before the bottoms were fully crisped and released from the pan surface. Forming a bond with a smooth surface is something food with a lot of starch or protein on the surface does. And, moisture makes it worse.
Why are my pierogies tough?
Why is my pierogi dough tough? It’s probably not well-kneaded, not rested or you’ve used cold water. It’s also possible that you’ve added too much flour – add more water until the dough is smooth and soft.
How do you keep perogies from sticking together?
Perogies have a tendency to stick together so keep them separate both before and after you have boiled them. A touch of oil or melted butter on the pan helps keep them from sticking as well. Lay out on a baking sheet in one layer and freeze until solid.
