Chicken, Lettuce including Tomato

I see what you did there

Let’s say it was stuck for 24 hours. At that point do you just decide to let the installer win? Try to keep it running as long as possible without ever restarting or trying to stop the installer?

If they are thawed and very wet then it wouldn’t hurt to dry them. I have also heard that they brown best if you minimize the number of flips, ideally just one flip if you time it correctly.
