TIL frozen dumplings come out better if you add a splash of water
After 3 batches of dry, cracked potstickers from my air fryer, I tried tossing a teaspoon of water in the basket before starting and they actually steamed up nice and kept the wrapper soft. Has anyone else messed with adding liquid to the preheat or is that just my weird fix?
Adding a little water works even better if you cover them for the first couple minutes so the steam actually traps in there instead of just escaping. After that just pull the lid and let them crisp up for the last minute or two.
