• Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes—no lumps in your filling!
• Don’t skip the chill step—cold filling means fewer splatters and no leaky pockets.
• A wire rack is your best friend when draining; paper towels soak up crumbs and cool off the bottoms.
• If edges won’t stick, dab a bit more water and press firmly—no shortcuts here!
• Feel free to use imitation crab for a budget-friendly twist; texture will differ slightly.
