Hi again. I made the pot stickers the other day for a treat for my family. They were pretty good but burn so easy. THe edges get too dark while the rest aren't quite cooked. I'd hate to do a show and wind up with crappy results...lol.

Any suggestions?

Try setting timer for a few minutes less then the recipe actually calls for. After checking them, you can either take them out, or let them bake for longer.
 
I made them today for a show and thought the stone should be on the bottom rack. The bottoms of the potstickers were just too soft. I would also lessen the time by one to two minutes. Honestly though I couldn't tell you how long they were in there, but they were good.
