I made potstickers in 3 different appliances, and there’s really only one way to do it right

• I made frozen potstickers with my oven, stovetop, and microwave to find the best cooking method.
• If I’m making a big batch, I think the oven probably makes the most sense. 
• But nothing came close to rivaling the hot, crispy pan-fried potstickers. 

As of 2023, the global frozen-food industry was worth nearly $3 billion, and my family has certainly contributed to that. Frozen appetizers, meals, and sides are an easy way to get dinner on the table during the week.

One of our favorite frozen treats is potstickers, so I embarked on delicious hands-on testing to see if the flavorful dumplings are best when I use my oven, microwave, or stovetop.
