Pour 1/4 cup water into the pot. Spray the Cook & Crisp Basket with cooking spray and place in the pot.
Step 2
Wrap each frozen cheese stick with 1 strip of dough. Carefully seal the top and bottom with your fingers.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the dough-wrapped cheese sticks with the egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with the ranch seasoning. Brush the dough-wrapped cheese sticks again with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the pretzel salt as desired.
Step 4
Place two of the dough-wrapped cheese sticks in the basket spaced as far apart as possible so they do not touch.
Step 5
Close the lid and move the slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 375°F, and set time to 7 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 5 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).

When cooking is complete, remove the pretzel twists, set aside, and cover to keep warm. Repeat all steps with the remaining ingredients.
