potstickers sticking to pan

I use egg roll wrappers or potsticker wrappers when making potstickers. They brown nicely, but during the steaming process they end up sticking to the pan. Is this because the wrappers are very thin?

    Hi,

    This could be? Are you steaming or browning first? Both methods work, but we typically boil, then brown, the potstickers. Boil with a fair amount of oil, which will coat the dumplings well and lead to non-stick browning.

    And what sort of of pan are you using? We'd recommend a well-seasoned or cast iron pan. Also, don't move them until they are ready to release! Just like sauteing or grilling, you want to make sure a crust builds and will release.
