Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means stores are prepping their shelves with Black Friday specials. Before the doors open for the craziest shopping day of the year, families are prepping their tables for turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and my personal favorite, homemade apple pie.
Read: 5 Kitchen Gadgets You Need for Thanksgiving
Preparing for the big meal isn’t always an easy task, especially if are cooking for a large group, so here are five turkey day trinkets to help make the process easier:
5. Drop Kitchen Connected Scale
Not everyone can cook, even with the aid of recipes. The Drop connected kitchen scale and recipe app helps even the worst chefs create some beautiful and delicious cuisines by turning recipes into step-by-step digital guides that seamlessly interact with the latest kitchen hardware.
Users have access to interactive recipes, helpful videos, photographs, as well as featured content from well-known food bloggers and bakers.
The scale is covered in kitchen-friendly, heat resistant silicone, and uses Bluetooth to weigh ounces or grams for the perfect recipe. Users can also share their creations and photos with family and friends.
4. iDevices Kitchen Thermometer
A perfect turkey needs to be cooked at the right temperature, but it’s easy to get distracted during the holidays and end up with the driest disaster since “Christmas Vacation”.
The iDevice kitchen thermometer uses Bluetooth to send messages to users’ phones to let them know when their food is ready, making the cooking experience less stressful.
3. The Smart Oven
The smart oven from Breville features 1,800 watts of power with a .8-cubic-foot non-stick interior. It also features element IQ technology for smarter control over the heat with nine pre-set functions.
A blue, back lit LCD screen turns orange during pre-heating, and users also receive an auto-eject wire rack, removable crumb tray, pizza pan, baking pan, and broil rack.
With its five quartz heating elements, user-friendly control panel, and LCD screen, users can bake cookies, make a pizza, or cook a roast at the perfect temperature that the oven remembers the next time it is used.
2. Talking BBQ Thermometer
For those who enjoy a more nontraditional barbeque on Thanksgiving, the talking BBQ/oven thermometer verbally alerts grillers when the food has reached the right temperature.
Grillers have eight entrees to choose from along with level of doneness, freeing up more time for socializing with guests.
1. Menu Maker
Fine Cooking has developed a menu maker app to help consumers create a customized dining experience for their guests.
Users have more than 75 recipes to choose from, and a shopping list automatically generates with each selection, along with a timeline of what needs to be done and when.
Whether you’re into a baked turkey or fried, cookies or pie, these turkey day trinkets are great for creating the perfect feast for your guests.
Happy Holidays!
