"Discover the Store-Bought Bagel Brand That Nails the New York Flavor"
Ray's New York Bagels, a New York-based bagel company, has been voted as the store-bought brand that tastes just like the ones from New York in a taste test of 14 brands. Their bagels are prepared in a New York factory using authentic New York-style cooking methods, including boiling in mineral-light water. Despite being frozen for freshness, they claim to preserve the fresh-out-of-the-oven taste and texture, and can be found in major grocery stores. To maximize the crispy outer layer, it's recommended to bake the bagels in the oven rather than using a toaster, and there are different opinions on whether to thaw the bagels before toasting them.
