California's favorite frozen pizza revealed

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:37:52 GMT

When Americans give up on making dinner and settle for a frozen pizza, which types of frozen pizza do they most often settle for?It depends on where they live.A new analysis from Instacart suggests that America is a nation divided by its favored frozen pizza varieties. The findings, as determined by Instacart’s recent online ordering data, appear to indicate that varieties like pepperoni, supreme and even veggie pizza have their own little strongholds over certain sections of the country. In California, pepperoni reigns supreme but is surrounded by veggie-loving neighbors in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon. Chuck E. Cheese is getting rid of its animatronic bands, except here It’s important to note, however, that Instacart’s analysis doesn’t indicate which pizza varieties are the top-selling in each state, but rather which varieties each state’s customers are ordering at the highest rate over the national average.

How long will it take your frozen turkey to thaw? Here are the guidelines

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:37:52 GMT

If you purchased a frozen turkey for your Thanksgiving meal, preparation needs to begin days ahead of time. Depending on the size, some turkeys can take days to thaw. If your frozen turkey is over 20 pounds, the Friday before Thanksgiving is the best day to take it out of the freezer to thaw in the refrigerator before cooking. But if you missed that deadline, not all is lost.Safely Thawing a TurkeySimply removing a turkey from the freezer and setting it on the counter is NOT a safe way to defrost a Thanksgiving bird. While the inside remains frozen, the outside of the turkey will quickly enter the “danger zone” between 40 and 140 degrees, where foodborne bacteria can quickly multiply. A turkey can enter this “danger zone” after sitting on the counter for just two hours.There are three safe ways to defrost a turkey. The following are recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to thaw your Thanksgiving turkey and avoid foodborne illness.Thawing in th...
