Top Thanksgiving Cooking Tools Your Kitchen Needs

  1. A Roasting Pan

If you'll be serving a classic turkey dish as the centrepiece of your Thanksgiving meal, then you will definitely need a reliable roasting pan in your kitchen. 

The Gastrolux roasting pan is undoubtedly one of the best you will find on the market. Measuring 12.5 inches across, it’s one of the top Thanksgiving cooking essentials that can accommodate large turkeys, meat, fish, or vegetables. 

Its unique Biotan technology offers a non-stick coating and sturdy base for a healthy and fat-free culinary experience. This means that you can prepare cuisines with minimal to zero oil!

   2. Carving Board

In case you don't have a large platter at home, you can use a multi-function chopping board as an alternative. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, chopping boards like the Danesco Cut & Carve feature integral meat grips that provide stability while you serve your delicious roast.

  3. Electric Knife

A chef's knife is more than adequate to carve meat like a pro, but if you want to have a seamless carving experience at the dinner table, an electric knife will change the name of the game.

 The Cuisinart electric knife set is one of the most resilient of its kind. While it may not be one of the most common Thanksgiving cooking tools, an electric knife is a surefire way to give your dinner table a convenient upgrade.

What you will likely love most about this electric knife is its powerful motor, stainless steel blade, ambidextrous handle, and one-touch power settings. Get ready to wow your guests with clean, uniform cuts that will have your meal looking just as good as it tastes! 

  4. Digital Thermometer

Digital thermometers are ideal for monitoring the temperature of roasts, pies, and other types of Thanksgiving dinner favourites. 

When it comes to easy-to-read digital displays, speed, and accuracy, you can put your trust in the waterproof digital thermometers by Taylor Thermometers. 

Temperature plays a leading role in defining the texture and flavour of the food you're cooking, so it's of utmost importance that you have a thermometer among your Thanksgiving roasting tools.

This NSF-listed thermometer is powered by a mercury-free lithium battery and features an auto-off setting. Once you've fulfilled your chef duties for the day, you can safely store it in its matching anti-microbial sleeve and casing.  

  5. Disposable Food-Grade Gloves

Wearing food-grade nitrile gloves is a simple yet often overlooked part of the food prep process at home. Glove up to prevent cross-contamination while keeping your hands free from sauces, powders, and other messy cooking ingredients. 

Thanks to their powder-free latex material and puncture-proof design, these gloves are 100% safe for daily use in your household kitchen.

   6. Baking Dishes

If there’s one thing that guests love, it’s delicious oven baked side dishes. Your signature lasagna, casseroles, and mac and cheese will be cooked to perfection in this top-tier baking dish by Danesco. 

  7. Takeout Containers

Holiday leftovers are inevitable, so send your guests home with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pie in these microwavable translucent plastic takeout containers by STOP Restaurant Supply.
