Do you need to cook a turkey longer in Colorado?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:04:07 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The altitude in Colorado doesn't just affect your skin, hydration and breathing, it can also mess up your Thanksgiving dinner if you're not careful.According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cooking at a higher altitude may affect the time, temperature and recipe of your dish.The air is drier in any place higher than 2,500 feet in altitude. This means that moisture will evaporate quickly, and it will take longer to cook your turkey. This is because the atmospheric pressure is decreased, which also makes the boiling point of water decrease. To compensate, cooking time has to increase. When it comes to meat, like turkey, you want to continue to use the same oven temperature and time recommended for sea-level cookers, but the key is to keep an eye on the internal temperature with a food thermometer.To prevent your turkey from becoming overcooked and dry, aim for a recommended internal temperature of 165 degrees. Prepare for Thanksgiving with these Denver-area tu...

Biden’s initial confidence on Israel gives way to the complexities and casualties of a brutal war

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:04:07 GMT

By ZEKE MILLER (AP White House Correspondent)WASHINGTON (AP) — In the early days and hours after the horrific Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, President Joe Biden spoke with stark declarations and unqualified support for the longtime U.S. ally.Now, a month on, that unambiguous backing has given way to the complexities and haunting casualties of the war, and the Biden administration is imploring Israel to rein in some of its tactics to ease civilian suffering in Gaza.As condemnation of the conflict has grown around the world, stoking anti-Israel sentiment, the Democratic president is also confronting the limits of the U.S. ability to direct the outcome — not only about the war, but what comes after it.“There’s no going back to the status quo as it stood on October the 6th,” Biden said three weeks after the attack. But even if Israel is successful in crippling or eradicating Hamas, there will also need to be a shift in Washington, where successive U.S. administrations have...
