Kitchen Essentials for Thanksgiving

Crock-Pot
Our Thanksgiving Day usually starts with people arriving just before lunch. We have plenty of appetizers waiting and often a soup or stew that was quickly prepared and tossed into a crock-pot to cook. It makes for an easy way to provide a little lunchtime snack before the main dinner.

Roasting Pan with Rack
We absolutely love our roasting pan with a rack and use it several times throughout the year. With easy access to the juices, basting the bird is a breeze. It also helps eliminate some of the mess when moving the turkey from the roasting pan to the carving plate.

Turkey Baster
Forget trying to improvise with measuring cups when basting the turkey. A good turkey baster will just make the job easier. It's a must have kitchen item for that special over roasted turkey.

Potato Masher
One of the toughest parts of the meal can be those pesky potatoes. Without the proper time your creamy mashed potatoes can be creamy lumps of potatoes. This friendly little masher will get the job headed in the right direction without deforming your everyday forks.

Meat Thermometer
It never hurts to check the temperature of that Turkey before you go to serve it. A digital meat thermometer helps take the guesswork out of the preparation. Simply stick it in the turkey or any other meat and you'll get an accurate temperature reading.

Carving Knife Set
I know firsthand that carving a turkey can be a difficult job. I have absolutely mauled a few in the past years. Yet, after years of experience, watching cooking shows for the perfect technique, I've learned the most important part is a good sharp knife.
