▼ + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Ironically, I worked at the same exact White Castle location that my dad did when he was around the age of 18. At 18 with zero work experience, my options were limited to retail and fast food; I landed on the latter and snagged my first gig at White Castle. How to maintain clear communication when my patience is testedIn fast food, the customer is always right, even when they're wrong. I have my job at White Castle to thank for my ability to pivot at work during intense moments like that one. So, remember to be extra kind to fast food and retail workers.

(AP) — No one needs to remind Kyle Larson about his record at Daytona International Speedway. “It’s tougher today than it’s ever been,” three-time Daytona 500 winner and current Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman Jeff Gordon said. He's finished 18th or worse in half of his Daytona 500 starts. Truex doesn’t have a top-10 finish in the 500 since, but he did win the series championship the following year. Hall of Famers Tony Stewart, Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin are the most notable drivers to never win the Daytona 500.

Further expansion efforts happening at Neste's renewable refinery in The Netherlands are anticipated to boost capacity to a whopping 2.2 million tons by 2026. The results indicated the company's readiness to incorporate renewable fuel into its fuel mix. The Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines (AAPA), comprising 14 member airlines, including Singapore Airlines, pledged to use up to 5% SAF by 2030. In 2024, Singapore plans to launch the Singapore Sustainable Hub Blueprint, aiming to bolster the market for SAF.

This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. But my favorite dish is a side of roasted potatoes. The key to perfect roasted potatoes is a crispy, browned exterior with a soft, creamy interior. I usually parboil my potatoes before baking them in the oven, but I wanted to see if there was an easier method out there. I made roasted potatoes in an air fryer, toaster oven, stovetop, and conventional oven to see which appliance had the best results with the least effort.

I started by tossing all the fries with a little oil and seasoning. I went with thin, straight-cut frozen french fries. Priscilla ThomasI didn't want them to defrost, so I waited until the air fryer and toaster oven were almost done preheating before I prepared the fries.

The first step is picking out the right kind of pizza. A standard, thin-crust frozen pizza works best for the smaller appliances. Priscilla ThomasAt first, I picked up some frozen pizzas with rising crusts. But no amount of time could bake the crust before the toppings burned in either appliance. I'd recommend avoiding any medium or thick-crust pizzas so you don't end up with uncooked doughOnce I tracked down the perfect thin-crust pie, I sliced the pizza while frozen with a sharp, strong knife.

I spatchcock the chicken to help it fit in my air fryer. Andy LynesSpatchcocking, or removing the backbone to flatten out the chicken, is key for my recipe. Some larger air fryers are big enough to fit the whole chicken straight out of the package, in which case you can skip this step. Turn the chicken over and snip off the wing tips and the knuckles on the legs. Finally, using the flat of your hand, press down on the central breast bone to flatten the chicken.
