Q: What are some tips for Thanksgiving?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 9
)
Accept Help
Remember the first Thanksgiving was a community affair. Take all offers of help for the big day.
Saying Grace
Take the pressure off the chief grace sayer by asking each guest around the table to share one or two things they are thankful for.
Turkey Carving
Unless your family turkey carver is a master swordsman, cut the turkey up in the kitchen and bring it to the table on a platter ready to serve.
Buffet Or Family Style
Decide ahead of time whether you want to serve the meal buffet or family style and set up accordingly.
Childproofing Your House
If you will be hosting families with very small children, childproof your house in advance of the big day. Put away fragile things; lock up medicines and keep sharp items well out of reach.
Cooking The Turkey
When figuring out the total preparation time for the turkey, add another 20 minutes for the bird to "rest" from the oven and carving will be easier.
Plan Ahead
Brew the coffee for the dessert portion of the meal ahead of time and keep it in a big thermos. Then pour it into a decorative decanter just before serving. Coffee sitting on a burner goes bitter quickly.
Clean Up
Get a head start on tough clean ups by soaking pots and pans in hot soapy water before tackling the rest of the dishes.
Leftover Storage
Have plenty of plastic storage containers on hand so leftovers can be packaged before they are put away and sent home with guests later.
