Gear & Gifts for Thanksgiving and Holiday Cooking

"); $.get("/ajax/blog/get_comments.php?BlogPostId=492", function(Data) $('.CommentPlaceholder').html(Data); if(window.location.hash.lastIndexOf("#Comment_", 0) === 0) setTimeout("ScrollToHash()", 500); setTimeout("ScrollToHash()", 1000); setTimeout("ScrollToHash()", 1500); ); function ScrollToHash() element_to_scroll_to = $(window.location.hash).get(0); element_to_scroll_to.scrollIntoView(); $(window).scrollTop($(window).scrollTop()-50); /*$(document.body).animate( 'scrollTop': $(window.location.hash).offset().top-50 , 2000); */

I've been preparing Thanksgiving and holiday meals for 38+ years now, and I've learned a lot through trial and error. My #1 tip is to do an inventory at least a few days before the meal and make sure you have all of the cooking equipment and serving dishes you will need to pull off a successful meal.

First you need to figure out your menu and assemble the recipes you'll need.

Then go through each recipe and make sure you have all of the kitchen gear you need to make each one.

Think about the table, too. What dishes and serving pieces will you need?

When you do this planning in advance, it will give you time to borrow or buy whatever you'll need. Goodbye last-minute scramble!

Below is the list of the kitchen gear that I use for making a traditional turkey meal for Thanksgiving and other holiday meals. (At my house, we have an identical turkey menu for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.) You may already have things on hand that will substitute for some of these. Make your lists early and assemble your gear to avoid stress and panic at the last minute when you don't have something essential for preparing that turkey dinner.

All of these items make great gifts, too!

FOR CHECKING OVEN ACCURACY

1. Oven Thermometer (view on Amazon). If you consistently have over- or under-cooked food, chances are that your oven temperature isn't accurate. Find out with this inexpensive thermometer. Calibrating your oven temperature is essential to successful baking and roasting. That's particularly important when it comes to roasting a turkey. If your oven temperature is off, it will be a guessing game as to the where you should set your oven temperature and how long it will take your turkey to cook.

FOR ROASTING A TURKEY

Check out my turkey recipes here:

2. High heat, water-proof gloves (view on Amazon). I originally bought these awesome gloves for use when I grill, but I find myself frequently reaching for them in place of my old cloth oven mitts. They make it so easy to handle a big, heavy turkey. I flip my turkey over during the roasting process. I used to do that using folded paper towels, but I had to work quickly before the grease and heat soaked through and burned my hands. These gloves make it so easy. The gloves are washable in sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

3. Remote Probe Thermometer (view on Amazon). This economy-priced digital thermometer insures perfectly cooked turkey. Stick the probe in the turkey, snake the attached cord outside the oven, and set the monitor to sound an alarm when the turkey has reached the right temperature. Perfect turkey every time! (If you can afford it, the pricier Thermaworks ChefAlarm remote thermometer is the cream of the crop. That's what I've used year after year.)

4. Instant Read Thermometer (view on Amazon). This economy-priced thermometer gives an ultra fast temperature for checking different parts of the turkey for doneness. (If you want the absolute best instant read thermometer, I highly recommend the Thermapen instant-read thermometer--it's what you see the celebrity chefs use on TV.)

5. Pull-apart Roasting Rack (view on Amazon). Set this inside the roasting pan (#6 below) to elevate the turkey and hold it in place.This makes it so much easier to transfer a heavy turkey to a platter or cutting board. A center rod pulls out and the two sides of the rack can be easily removed to leave the turkey exactly where you want it.

6. Roasting Pan (view on Amazon). An Amazon best seller, this is a sturdy, stainless steel pan made by Cuisinart. It comes with a roasting rack, too.

7. Silicone Pastry Brush (view on Amazon). I use this for brushing the turkey with olive oil (or melted butter) and prefer it over one with natural bristles. It's heat tolerant and is dishwasher safe.

8. Cooking Twine (view on Amazon). This has many handy uses in the kitchen. I use it to tie the turkey legs together.

9. Turkey Lacing Skewers (view on Amazon). Use these to hold the turkey skin in place so it covers the opening in the cavity.

10. Platter for Serving Turkey (view on Amazon). This white porcelain baking dish has a 4 qt. capacity and is big enough for serving your turkey. The tall rim contains juices.

11. Serving Tongs (view on Amazon). These multi purpose kitchen tongs have an ergonomic handle that makes it easy to pick up food for cooking, grilling, and serving. They are dishwasher safe and great for serving turkey slices.

FOR MAKING GRAVY

Check out my gravy and broth recipes here:

12. Grease Separator (view on Amazon). I've used several models, and this easy-release one is my favorite for removing every bit of fat from turkey drippings and broth.

13. Wire Mesh Strainer (view on Amazon). I pour cooked turkey stock through this strainer into the grease separator to remove all of the bits and pieces. It can also be used to strain out any accidental lumps in your finished gravy.

14. Wire Whisk (view on Amazon). This is an essential tool in my kitchen and is especially helpful for making lump-free gravy.

15. Gravy Boat with Stand and Candle Warmer (view on Amazon). This keeps 2 cups of gravy, sauces, or syrup warm. The white porcelain looks lovely on the table. Dishwasher safe.

16. Teapot for Gravy Server (view on Amazon). I use my teapot for a Gravy Server. It works great. Remove the tea infuser, fill with hot gravy, and keep the gravy hot by resting it on a candle/teapot warmer (see below).

17. Teapot/Gravy Warmer (view on Amazon). When I need to keep the gravy warm for awhile, I put it on this candle warmer on the table or buffet.

18. Wide-Mouth Pint Jars (view on Amazon). I use these jars for shaking the flour slurry for the gravy. I also pour the finished gravy into these jars to store in the fridge or freezer.

19. Organic Chicken Broth (view on Amazon). Chicken or turkey broth is an essential ingredient in gravy. If you don't have homemade broth, this Swanson's Organic 100% Natural Chicken Broth is very good and was rated #1 by Cooks Illustrated for the best taste.

20. Immersion Blender (view on Amazon). Got lumps? Run this through your pan of gravy and the lumps will instantly disappear. It's a handy gadget for blending sauces, soups, shakes and smoothies, too. I use mine regularly for making small batches of whipped cream in a flash. This model is the #1 recommendation of Cooks Illustrated.

GEAR FOR MAKING MASHED POTATOES

Check out my recipe for mashed potatoes here:

21. Programmable Crock Pot (view on Amazon). I love my slow cooker! This model is a top recommendation of Cooks Illustrated's test kitchen. It heats evenly and automatically switches to a warm setting when the food is done.

22. Potato Ricer (view on Amazon). This gadget is an easy way to get smooth, light mashed potatoes. It comes with disks for medium or coarse and is dishwasher safe. #1 pick of Cooks Illustrated.

23. Potato Masher (view on Amazon). This is also easy to use and less expensive tht the potato ricer (#22 above). Works especially well for "chunky" mashed potatoes. I also use this for making guacamole and mashing fruit for jam.

24. 1.5 Quart Round Casserole Dish (view on Amazon). I use these for serving mashed potatoes and other vegetables (microwave safe for quick reheating, lid keeps food warm until time to eat):

Also available in 2.5 Quart (view on Amazon)

FOR MAKING DRESSING/STUFFING AND CASSEROLES

Check out my recipes for sides here:

25. White Porcelain 9x13 Baking Dish (view on Amazon). You can bake and serve from this dish--it looks lovely on the table. The lack of handles means it fits in my toaster oven, too. I have two of these, because they're so versatile. I bake and serve green bean casserole and dinner rolls in these, so they can go directly from oven to table.

26. 12-cup Bundt Pan (view on Amazon). Food bakes evenly and releases easily from this pan. It's the #1 recommendation of Cooks Illustrated's test kitchen. Use it for cakes, frozen desserts, and gelatin, as well as this stuffing recipe.

FOR MAKING DINNER ROLLS

Check out my dinner roll recipe here:

I bake my rolls in a porcelain 9x13 baking dish -- see #25 above.

27. Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer (view on Amazon). This 5-qt. mixer gets so much use in my kitchen. It comes with a glass bowl with handy measurements. I added a stainless steel bowl; it's nice to have both. Mix and knead the dinner roll dough with ease with this mixer.

28. Multi-purpose Scraper and Chopper (view on Amazon). This is a handy tool for cutting the dough into roll-size portions.

FOR BAKING PIES

Check out my pie recipes here:

29. Pyrex 9" Pie Plate (view on Amazon). I have two of these that I've been using for years. They're rated #1 by Cooks Illustrated. Here's what they said: "Good crisping and browning, a see-through bottom to monitor the bottom crust, a half-inch rim, shallow, angled sides, and a low price made this our winner—again."

30. 9" Pie Crust Shield (view on Amazon). No more burnt pie crust edges! I love this inexpensive gadget. Now all of my pie crusts get eaten instead of left on the plate.

31. Adjustable Rolling Pin (view on Amazon). I am totally sold on this after having used a traditional rolling pin for many years. You can adjust the guides on the end to get perfect, evenly rolled dough and pie crust in exactly the thickness you want.

32. Silicone Pastry Mat (view on Amazon). This extra large pastry mat sticks to the counter top, but the pie dough doesn't stick to the mat. This makes rolling out the dough so much easier. It's great for cookies, too.

33. Pie Crust Maker Bag (view on Amazon). If you've ever struggled with rolling out an even, round pie crust and transferring it to the pie plate, this totally solves those problems. It works with amazing ease. A must-have for any pie maker or wannabee pie maker.

Additional Gear for Serving

34. Serving Utensils (view on Amazon). This 5-piece multi-purpose utensil set has a classic style and is dishwasher safe.

35. White Porcelain Serving Bowls Available in 3 sizes (view on Amazon 10 oz., 18 oz, and 28 oz). Great for serving cranberry sauce, veggies, dips....whatever!

36. Butter Keeper (view on Amazon). This porcelain butter keeper safely keeps butter soft on your kitchen counter. It is a great way to serve soft butter on the table, too.

Gear for Storing Leftovers

38. Square Plastic Containers (view on Amazon). This 60 piece food storage set is great for storing leftovers. The square shapes make for efficient stacking and storage.

39. Glass Storage Containers (view on Amazon). This 9 piece storage set is leak-proof and safe for freezer, microwave, and dishwasher.

40. Deli Containers (view on Amazon). Send leftovers home with your dinner guests in these handy deli containers.

41. Dissolvable Labels (view on Amazon). These write-on labels are a quick and easy way to label your food containers. The labels easily wash off of emptied containers.

I hope this list of my favorite gear has been helpful to you. If you have any questions or additional suggestions, please leave them in the comments section below.

Make it a Yummy day!

A Story about racing i guess.

Stupid class...stupid people...I can almost feel my hands clutching around the steering wheel, the World coming to a blur past my windshield, the float of a complete speed machine pushing its limits.

“Frank…We've been through this before...Is today gonna be the day you open up and tell us why you're here?”

“...Not a chance…”

“Ok then...Ricky?...”

Every wednesday night, I had to come to this court mandated AA class because I had got caught drinking and driving ONCE. It's actually laughable considering what they could have caught me with a few hours before the arrest…

I was sitting idle in a 1988 Ford Foxbody Mustang set up with a 5.7 Liter V8 Corvette engine under the hood. Simple in concept, but a weapon on the track, or in this case, street. Crowds of custom cars ranging from ricers to muscle to sleepers to rats sat parked in the abandoned parking lot of an old book store. All of us were there for some type of motive; reputation, money, like minded people, and of course, racing.

I had followed a big classic ford square body to the scene. Two wire bridges across a refinery plant, little to no traffic at this time, and a small variety of people ready to push their cars to the absolute limit.

The big truck was owned by this guy called lil Joe. Now, Joe wasn't little in any possible way as far as his love life or parking garage was concerned. He was always driving the biggest truck, with the biggest engine, and participating the most in the biggest races. He always showed up with the hardware required. This case was simple, cones and road blocks at both ends of the bridge with look outs on both ends. Each look out had radios hooked up to lil Joe’s CB in his classic truck.

I sat in the sleeper mustang across from a ricer sedan. I get the appeal, cheap engine swap, cheap parts, cheap speed but ricers just aren't for me. The way I look at it, Japan is a small country with small roads and little to no need for all 8 cylinders. In the states, however, It was a necessity.

Or maybe i'm just ignorant to culture, I don't know.

But I did know that I was gonna smoke the competition tonight.

We watched as the flag girl climbed out of Lil Joe’s truck and walked her way past our cars. Admittedly, I olged her a bit more than what was necessary.

Thank god for tinted windows.

She stood in between the two cars with the flag raised high. I revved the engine and looked across to the car beside me. He was a younger kid with snapback hat and a few face piercings. He looked cocky. I grinned an evil grin when his face dropped at the mere sound of my car.

At least he knew what he was getting into.

The flag dropped, my foot slammed the gas pedal down. One full rotation and my tires caught, propelling me forward. I hit the clutch and shifted rapidly as the car climbed gears. The street lights ignited my interior in a strobe as I passed under. I looked in my side mirrors to see the ricer far behind me.

Then I saw something a little troublesome. A blue flash from behind the car, and suddenly the little Honda was making its way closer to me at a quick speed.

I found myself looking over to see the bumper at mirror level with me.

Not tonight.

I layed the gas to the floor as hard as I could and shifted once more. We came neck and neck to the first turn. I came into the turn and slammed the ebrake back. I turned left, then right, and put the brake down, slamming on the gas once more. My tires spun and caught, no burnout in this race. Without a look in the mirror, I started shifting rapidly again.

I was not going to lose this.

I was getting sucked back into the seat, the world flashing by around me. I looked down to the speedometer to see the dial bouncing off the limiter like a jackhammer. I had little to no control on the car at this point, my entire life in the vehicle's hands as I broke 125 on this short stretch.

I saw the finish line coming up quickly but what I saw in the rear view mirror caused me to lay the gas down once again.

The Honda was on my ass again, gaining me.

The crowd waiting ahead started running to the sides in fear of the cars not stopping. I zipped across the thin spray painted line on the asphalt and immediately slammed the breaks, downshifting as fast as I could.

I spun in the process and was now holding onto my steering wheel for dear life. I closed my eyes, accepting my fate.

My car finally stopped to a skid and came to rest. Before I had even gotten my bearings, I whipped open the door to my car and stepped out.

Dizziness, confusion, and rage were all across my features. I stomped towards the crowd closing in on me, focused solely on beating the shit out of this kid for fucking up my car.

Most of the people who had came to watch the race already knew who I was and what My size was capable of. Not exactly tall, but 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide and jacked can still do a lot of damage. They met me and tried to stop me. About 30 different people grabbed my shirt trying to hold me back. I pushed a few out of the way and shook a couple more off me.

I waded through and saw the skinny man getting out of his car.

He took his hat off and wiped his brow, oblivious to my anger towards him.

“Solid race. Huh? I almost got you there-”

I grabbed him by his shirt and socked him once in the stomach. He doubled over and coughed.

I leaned in and whispered in his ear.

“If you ever put me in danger like that again, im gonna find where you live, and im gonna break both your legs. Got me?”

“What did i even-”

I slapped him hard, my calloused mechanic hands leaving a mark along his jawline.

“Do you understand me?”

He looked up at me in fear, knowing that I meant every single world.

I threw him to the ground and stormed back to my car.

The crowd watched me and steered clear. As I came across my car, I saw the large crack in the rear bumper and the scratches left behind.

I got tapped on the shoulder and whirled around like I was gonna kill whoever was behind me.

“Woah! Frank chill out man! I got your earnings from tonight” Lil Joe handed me a stack of cash.

I took it and started counting it.

“It should come out to a few grand” Lil Joe told me.

“...Awesome. Thank you Joe” I said sincerely.

“So what the hell happened out there?” He asked me, “I was busy collecting bet money”

“I was winning the race when that little shit used nitrous. I wanted to win so I floored it. When we crossed the line that little fucker hit my rear end and I fish tailed. He's lucky no one got hurt because I probably would have gotten out and made him eat his teeth” I said, spitting on the ground as if the mere mention of the kid disgusted me.

“Look man, you've been at this for a long time. You're a great racer but you gotta keep in mind that there's a new generation moving in. Hes a new kid to an old scene and he's just trying to fit in here.”

“He fucking ran me off the road!” I shouted back.

“Maybe so, but tell me you never fucked up when you first started racing”

The image of a younger me accidentally scratching several cars by getting too close flashed before my eyes.

“I guess, but i'm not gonna be nice to him until he earns my respect. And lets just say that tonight was a shitty first impression.” I told Joe sternly.

“That's fine I suppose. But hey, I got a few more races lined up. A few people liked what they saw in that last race and wanna try you out. What do you think? Is your car still up to preform?” He crossed his arms as he asked me.

After a spin out like that I knew that I should have listened to my instincts and simply said no to the request. But my need to go fast won over everything else.

“Ill race” I told him.

…

6 more races, 5 more wins, and a little stack of cash for whatever I needed to repair. I drove over to a liquor store in the thick of night and picked up a six pack. I didn't hesitate to start drinking from the cans as I made my way back to my place. A few blocks short of my apartment, I saw police lights come on behind me.

Shit.

I slammed on the gas and to my dismay, a loud pop greeted my ears. I stuck my head out of the window to see that one of my tires actually exploded, leaving me coasting on the rim. I reluctantly pulled over and accepted whatever was about to happen. Those last races really screwed me this time. I must have burnt one of the tires or something when I spun.

…

So there I sat a few months later. I smirked thinking about what the cops could have gotten me for and how they didn't.

Its kind of funny when you think about it.
