Thanksgiving is just a few days away, are you ready? We have covered a lot of recipes and food, but with what tools will you use to make it all? There are a few tools that you can have at the ready, that will make your job at lost easier. Below are the Top 10 Tools you'll need to conquer the day!
1) This pan is perfect for a turkey to catch juices and roast vegetables. In addition, many roasting pans can be taken from oven to stove top, which is perfect when you begin to make a gravy.
2) The nonstick roasting rack is the best tool for a few reasons: a) your bird will be cooked more evenly if it is raised above the cooking surface; b) your bird won't stick to the surface; c) the rack has handles making it easy to remove the turkey to be carved and served!
3) Instant-read thermometer. You have to cook a turkey to the safe to eat temperature, when it has reached 165 degrees F. You'll never know if you don't check the temperature.

4) Whisks are a great tool to use in your Thanksgiving meal preparation. Most importantly, you'll need it to make your gravy. A flat whisk, like the one pictured above, is a great way to get all the delicious caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan to add more flavor to your gravy. A classic sturdy whisk can be used to mash potatoes or sweet potatoes.
Some might suggest fork and knife when carving your bird, but I say why no give yourself a bit more control and use thongs with your knife. Further more, you want be puncturing your beautiful juicy turkey before it's served to your guests. Additionally, these thongs can assist with dozens of other tasks in the kitchen, like when you're roasting vegetables or removing hot bread and rolls from a hot pan.
If you're making your own pie dough or
rolls this year, this rolling pin will help give you leverage and control when rolling dough. Don't forget to flour your pin!
It's worth doing, if it's worth doing right. When carving your turkey, you'll get the best results if your knife is sharp and good quality. With a good knife, you don't need a lot of force, it should do the work for you.
These baking pans are ideal for just about any baking pan. During Thanksgiving, you can roast sweet potatoes, vegetables, pumpkin, squash, or variety of baked goods. These GoldTouch pans ensure uniform baking; I received GoldTouch bake ware as a gift and I love them!
Carving boards are great way to rest your turkey, carve it, and then serve it at the table for a rustic look. It will help prevent your turkey from slipping while you are cutting it. This carving board is rimmed so you don't lose any juices, just in case it was not fully rested.

If you're doing pie this year, make sure you have a pretty pie dish because unlike many other foods, pies are made and served in the same dish. There are so many great ones out there! I got this pie dish for my birthday last year and I love it!
