Finally got the timing right on frozen pierogies

Took me like 4 tries but I realized I was crowding the basket every time, so they steamed instead of crisping. Now I do 10 pierogies for 8 minutes at 390 and flip halfway, they come out golden and not soggy. Anyone else have a weird trick for getting frozen stuff crispy without the rubbery texture?

The crowding thing is so real, I've ruined plenty of baskets that way too. My weird trick is to shake the basket once or twice mid-cook instead of flipping, it gets the bottoms crisp without breaking the skins. I also add a tiny splash of oil to the basket before dumping them in, seems to help with the rubbery texture. Takes a few tries to figure out what your specific air fryer wants, so glad you got there.
