About this list:

grandpa's confused because he had too much eggnog, your sister forgot her meds, and your cousin's date is hitting on your boyfriend. mom isn't talking to dad, dad isn't talking to aunt lola, and aunt lola is talking too much. everyone else is loud, angry, depressed and just downright insane, but you? you're as happy as a foster farms chicken because though family and friends might be totally dysfunctional, the holiday dinner and table you've prepared is totally fabulous.

Scrabble PREMIER EDITION - Entertainment/Oprah

8 people recommended this item

Description

When you're family is all up in your apron strings as you're cooking that Holiday dinner, direct them to the living room and get them playing Scrabble. This gorgeous set isn't just a board game; the Premier Edition is practically a decorator piece.

By the way, never underestimate the power of the two letter word.

Remote-check Wireless Thermometer

2 people recommended this item

Description

You can't roast a turkey and base it on the "recommended" time for cooking. The only reliable way of knowing when you're turkey is done is with a thermometer. This one lets you check temperature on two things at once (in case you have to make two turkeys), and also has a remote control so you don't HAVE to babysit the bird in the kitchen all day long.

Chef's Quad-Timer Professional (AI300)

First to recommend

Description

When you're cooking a multi-course meal, you need more than just the Hello-Kitty digital timer on your refrigerator. You need the Quad Kitchen timer, too, which lets you time up to four different things. Of course, that's given you have the space in your oven for all those dishes.

Morton Coarse Kosher Salt

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I used to buy the Diamond Krystal Kosher salt, but recently, have not been able to find it. For some reason, it seemed wrong to buy Morton's Coarse Kosher salt (it just didn't seem "kosher" enough) but Morton's was my only option at the store, so I bought it.

Well! Who knew Morton's would taste the same?!?!

It's salt, for Pete's sake, and when I'm only using it to brine a bird, the "big" brand is fine with me.

turkey brining bags

2 people recommended this item

Description

Brining turkey is a much better way to ensure a juicy turkey than flavor injection or continuous basting. Just use these bags so you don't have to clean out that one container that's large enough to hold your turkey - the garbage can. That's gross.

Plugra European Style Unsalted Butter

First to recommend

Description

Plugra European-style butter.

Not all butters are created equally. Some are better than others, and Plugra is the best (at least, of the butters I have tried).

The name Plugra comes from the French words "plus" and "gras," which means "more fat." Yes, plugra butter is higher in fat content, which means it is richer and more flavorful, and if you're worried about fat, you shouldn't be eating butter in the first place.

all-clad stainless steel roasting pan

First to recommend

Description

don't let the clean-up convenience and pocket-change price of disposable aluminum roasting pans con you -- they just aren't strong enough for your voluptuous beauty of a bird. a heavy roasting pan with a rack might cost your wallet, but save your sanity.
