From perfectly cooked turkey to perfectly browned pie crust, these kitchen gadgets will help you pull off a memorable holiday feast. And all five of these must-have Thanksgiving tools are under $25.
1. Meat Thermometer
Using a meat thermometer is the only way to make sure your turkey is done, not overdone. This one has a probe that stays in the turkey while it roasts, and alerts you when it reaches the right temperature.
2. Roasting Rack
A removable roasting rack makes it easy to lift the turkey out of the pan so you can get to the drippings. This one comes apart to make it easier to get the turkey onto the platter or cutting board.
3. Gravy Separator
A glass gravy separator is the easiest way to separate the turkey drippings. So you can use the fat to sauté vegetables, and add the liquid to your gravy for extra flavor.
4. Pie Plate
Ceramic or stoneware pie plates are perfect for serving at the table.
5. Pie Shield
A pie shield will keep the edges of your pumpkin pie crust from burning. This silicone pie crust shield is adjustable to fit different size dishes.
