    There’s nothing more annoying when you are hungry than forgetting to take your meat out of the freezer; defrosting can be a tedius process. Thankfully, a simple hack could help speed up the process. Typically people defrost their meat by transfering it from the freezer to the fridge and leaving it overnight until it is completley thawed. Others like to their chicken, beef or other meat into cold water, or you might have also tried the defrosting button on your microwave – this is the fastest method but it requires you to cook the meat immediately.

    iPhone prices safe for now as Apple races ahead of Trump’s tariff clock

    Apple has no immediate plans to raise retail prices of its products—including the flagship iPhone—in India or elsewhere, despite the imposition of reciprocal tariffs by the Trump administration, top sources told The Times of India. According to a report by TOI’s Pankaj Doval, quoting sources, the tech giant had already shipped an “unusually high” number of products from its factories in India and China to the United States to build up inventory. This stockpiling took place even though it was a “relatively lean period,” enabling Apple to stay ahead of the new tariff regime. “Factories in India and China and…
