On the question of how much the dumplings are cooked, there may be several answers. Everything depends on the degree of freezing of the product, the size of the pelmeni and the heating element on which the preparation takes place. In any case, the cooking process should not take more than ten minutes. In this case, it should be borne in mind that by closing the lid for cooking, you speed up the cooking process for a couple of minutes.

Do not forget that the product must be turned over to avoid burning. After six to twelve minutes (depending on the temperature) fried dumplings can be served on the table.

A small amount of semi-finished product (up to five hundred grams) put in a deep bowl and pour a small amount of water. Then cover the bowl with a lid or a plate that does not contain metal parts, and place it in a microwave for five minutes. After that, check whether the water boils, and if necessary add a little water and repeat the "procedure". How much to cook dumplings in a microwave oven will depend primarily on the type of product, but usually this process takes no more than two cycles of five to six minutes.
