Thanksgiving Tips

11/15/2017

 
  • Never wash your turkey (it spreads potentially harmful bacteria)
  • As a rule, estimate 1.5 pounds of meat per person
  • Always, always (even if it's not Thanksgiving) use a food thermometer 
  • Once cooked, let your turkey rest 20 minutes before carving
  • Delegate! Divide up food responsibilities (sides, desserts, etc.), which eases the load and diversifies your table experience
  • Keep a kitchen cheat sheet handy 
  • Follow the two hour rule...dot not leave out perishable foods longer than two hours; properly store once dinner is over
