Never have tried potstickers from any source, but have been tempted, both by QVC and Costco when either one puts them on sale.  David is always a convincing promoter when he features the current QVC offering in his shows.

Those of you who have tried these, what do you think of a particular potsticker brand,  and which  method do you choose to prepare them?

my favorites are the ones from qvc (especially the mini ones) AND the pork potstickers from schwans home delivery. you can make a meal out of them and they work well as a quick snack if you have unexpected company. they are always in my freezer.

Trader Joe's has great potstickers

I think how you prepare them depends on the type of texture you want. Some like them steamed and soft. I like a bit of crunch and cook them in a pan with lid, little water and tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated through I turn and brown slightly. 

I also think if you've never had them, you might want to buy a smaller amount from grocery store before investing in a large amount.

Nice to know that Trader Joe's has good ones.  That's another place where I've seen them and considered buying.

@novamc1 - I'm fussy about potstickers. After living in Japan I call them "gyoza." I've tried 3 brands; none can compare to QVC - they're the best!

I think I'd like them a little firmer, as you said. 

But I can imagine that softer might appeal to my husband, who is normally NOT an Asian food fan, although I'm gradually  converting him with some spicy stir-frys.

Do you use a particular seasoning sauce when you prepare or serve them?

I prefer the Mini ones....used to get them on QVC until I saw them at Albertsons and also Smiths..half the price so now buy there....Bibigo brand (HSN sells the Bibigo ones)   I put in boiling water for about 2-4 minutes til they rise to the top and then put on bed of  'Knorr' chicken fried rice...I use a sweet and sour sauce I get at Smiths...yummy!  I liked the ones on QVC but these are less expensive and just as good in my opinion.

I love QVC chicken potstickers and always keep both the mini and regular size in my freezer. I use the minis to make soup with chicken broth, green onion, fresh spinach, fresh cilantro and a dash of sesame oil for flavor. I love the taste of cumin so I sometimes use a sprinkling of powered cumin in the prep. Quick meal with or w/o tossed salad. I usually fry/saute regular size in a little olive oil and sesame oil in a skillet or air fry for a quick, tasty snack or meal.

I like my sauce to have a kick. My sauce is a teriyaki sauce base, then I add a little chili oil, some red pepper flakes, and some green onion stalk. To fancy it up a bit I'll add some sesame seeds if I have them.
