Big Mistakes Everyone Makes With Frozen Chicken

It's hard for 21st-century dwellers to imagine a world without plastic. This durable man-made material is everywhere: perched on your deck in the form of lawn furniture, hiding in your kitchen cupboards disguised as food containers and cups, and riding in your car dressed up as mere fit and finish. Yes, Americans have become very comfortable with their plastics. In fact, the EPA admits that in 2018 alone, the United States produced 35.7 million tons of it. Trying to picture what that much plastic looks like is a near-impossible feat. Perhaps, there are better ways to illustrate this global love affair with plastic.

Customers at Costco can expect to find eggs packaged in cartons of two dozen each or massive blocks of parmesan cheese, but Redditors were stumped over why pineapples sold in the retailer's warehouses are so much larger than those in grocery stores. Below a photo of two pineapples, one that looks about a third larger than the other, Reddit users sounded off in comments that addressed such matters as whether bigger is better, how to replant the tops of the fruit, along with possible explanations for why Costco's tend to be so jumbo-sized.

When you think tuna, you probably think of those little Starkist or Bumble Bee tuna cans your mom would pop open and mix into a mayo-based salad that would be served on bread. Per Simply Recipes, basic tuna salad consists of canned tuna of your choice, mayo, a little celery, some lemon juice, and a bit of crunchy onion. Tuna salad is beloved, in fact, Americans consume a whopping amount of canned tuna each year. It might surprise you to learn that, but per the National Fisheries Institute, Americans eat one billion pounds of canned and pouched tuna on an annual basis and 52% enjoy it on a sandwich.

Gordon Ramsay's latest TV show, "Future Food Stars," has come to an end. In the show, playfully called FFS for short, Ramsay challenges 12 entrepreneurs from the food industry, and in the end, there is one winner who gets Ramsay's large-sum investment (via BBC). During the broadcasts of FFS, you had a chance for Gordon Ramsay to judge your cooking in his TikTok challenge — the chef decided to post reactions to the best recipes posted on the popular social media platform.

Every once in a while, we all deserve a little treat to cap off a long day. Sometimes, we just care to celebrate a special occasion with an indulgent drink or two. Throughout history, cocktails have been sipped by restaurant diners, bar patrons, and partygoers far and wide (via VinePair). The intoxicating medleys are made with a variety of spirits fit to any drinker's liking. From the rum-infused daiquiri to the tequila-forward margarita to the whiskey-based old fashioned, there's a seemingly endless array of quaffable possibilities. No matter someone's preferred palate, they're likely to discover a cocktail that best suits their tastes.

Though helpful for cleaning and disinfecting, Lysol contains a number of harmful chemicals that can irritate your eyes, skin, and respiratory system.

Khloé Kardashian’s perfectly curated kitchen pantry (read: grocery store) is a slice of organized, structured Heaven that puts even the best kitchen storage solutions to shame. And if you’ve ever caught a glimpse of her color-coordinated fridge (and her urge to keep everything super neat and tidy inside it), the immaculate state of her pantry really should come as no surprise. Luckily for us, we can recreate some of the organizational magic with Aldi’s new glass storage containers.

A wedding caterer has been praised for turning down all events where the bride and groom are asking their guests to pay for their own meals.In a recent post shared on the discussion-based site Mumsnet, a user explained that they run a “wedding catering company” that is “based on a food truck” and works for “less formal weddings”.They then revealed that some couples who have reached out to them about catering have been expecting their guests to purchase their own dinners at their weddings, a concept that the caterer said they have been “turning down” because they believe it is...

Costco is famous for its various deals, but the most notorious bargain of all is the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo. It's evident that even after people spend hundreds of dollars at the warehouse club, they can't resist the allure of this deal, because Costco sells an average of 135 million hot dogs per year (via 425 Business). In the current state of the world with rampant inflation, the $1.50 hot dogs serve as a reminder of simpler times and a treat after a day of shopping. Whether or not it's practical to keep it at that price, however, is another story.

If you've been experiencing sticker shock when you head to the grocery store these days, you are not alone. When 2022 kicked off, grocery prices broke a 13-year record, and it appears that trend is continuing. CBS News reported that as the United States faces the highest rate of inflation the country has experienced in 40 years, food prices that have already skyrocketed are anticipated to continue their rising trajectory. Per the Consumer Price Index Summary, we are currently paying as much as 10% more for our pantry staples. CBS News cites both supply chain issues and an increase in demand as contributing to this financial food storm.

We get it. Cleaning your home can be a daunting task at times, but it can be made a whole lot easier — and, dare we say, fun — if you have the right tools on hand. Spring cleaning has become a tradition that typically involves hitting the refresh button, taking inventory of the things you own (and what you no longer need), and polishing furniture and surfaces so they look, feel, and smell brand-new. With so many cleaning products on the market, though, it can get overwhelming shopping around for the materials and agents that will do the trick — and not break the bank. Perhaps surprisingly, you don't always have to reach for the factory-made countertop sprays and pricey chemical substances. In fact, you can resort to some everyday grocery items to get the job done just as effectively.

What's not to love about garlic? Setting aside the amazing health benefits and its ability to repeal vampires, it gives many foods a unique flavor. While garlic is an essential cooking ingredient, the actual process of peeling garlic cloves can become tedious. After all, it might take a while before you actually get to the part of the bulb you want. Even then, accidentally ruining the bulb in an effort to get to the cloves can be common.

The Cinderella search is over, everyone. When Gordon Ramsay issued an edict to the TikTok kingdom on May 10 in search of a vegan recipe that the famed carnivore might fall in love with, tensions were high and expectations were low. TikTokkers scoured the land, eager to impress the chef with a meatless, plant-based recipe that might win over the man who, as reported by Metro, once said his "biggest nightmare" would be finding out one of his children decided to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. Ramsay has made great strides in the eyes of vegans since those dark days. In March 2021, he even went so far as to make a vegan "steak" entirely out of eggplant; the creation took the TikTok world by storm, according to Insider, and Ramsay announced that he was officially "going vegan."

Cooking for the royal family is no easy feat. Not only do you have to conquer the monumental task of preparing a meal "fit for a queen" on a daily basis, but there is a lengthy list of rules to follow. In fact, what Queen Elizabeth really eats (and doesn't eat) in a day may be subject to them. The halitosis-causing garlic and its cousin, the onion, are a big no-no (via Daily Record). The queen also doesn't eat "pasta, potatoes, or rice" when she is dining alone; she eats her bananas using cutlery; and she has been known to consume fruit from a Tupperware container (via Hello! Magazine).

Although sushi originated in Southeast Asia many centuries ago, it's enjoyed all around the world today. In its earliest forms, sushi — or narezushi — was a means of preserving fish by packing it in salt. Later, narezushi was a mix of rice, fish, vinegar, and sake left under large stones to ferment, per Eat-Japan,

Anyone who's driven through central Pennsylvania or rural Ohio will likely immediately recall not just Amish country, but Amish baked good country. Those who grew up in these places or in the less-well-known Indiana Amish Country may recall buggies tied up on Main Street on weekday afternoons with tables set out selling their wares — handicrafts, elaborate quilts, and, of course, Amish baked goods and candy-colored Ball jars of glorious Amish jam (via IMPress). While sturdily made and unpretentiously beautiful Amish-made furniture can be bought in specialty stores all over the country and even online (like from the Amish Show Room), Amish culinary specialties like velvety Amish butter, shoofly pie (aka the most famous pie in Pennsylvania), and hand-held turnovers called Fry Pies, are essentially limited to farm stands, farmers' markets, and local markets near Amish communities.

It's a warm summer evening in 1985. You and your buddies are in your Honda Accord, Eurythmics blaring over the radio while you all debate what you want to eat. Pizza? Mexican? The debate doesn't go on for long when your friend mentions that they've been eager to try this "Mexican Pizza" they heard Taco Bell started selling a few months back. It's apparently a flat taco shell covered in ground beef and refried beans, topped with another shell and finished with melted cheese, tomatoes, and special sauce.

The life hacks that you learn from TikTok can make you frustrated with the American education system. We learned calculus, which rarely applies in real life, but we didn't learn that there's a filter in the dishwasher that needs to be cleaned? There are also valuable tips about how to reduce food waste, which saves you money and the guilt of throwing away that pack of lettuce every week. TikToker @shelbizleee recommends keeping your greens in a container with a napkin on top so that they don't get all slimy and gross (and so you don't have an excuse to not eat them).

We've all witnessed the explosion of food delivery services over the last few years. According to Business Wire, these delivery services experienced a 164% increase in sales in 2020, and sales have continued upward since. And with more and more people ordering delivery, it only makes sense that we also have more and more incidents of customer challenges.

As summer's sweltering heat bears down upon you, soaking your brow and sapping your get-up-and-go, a nice cold popsicle is just what you might be craving. Whether you have a hankering for chocolate, cherry, or a popular alcoholic popsicle, its chilly, refreshing wetness is exactly what you need to make you feel a few degrees cooler — and to halt those nasty sweat beads in their tracks. Yes, a popsicle is a welcomed friend on a hot day. Or is it?
