This is my Thanksgiving Dinner checklist, but I've only hosted Thanksgiving at my house 3 or so times. As long as you don't serve a nasty turkey and canned cranberry sauce, you will be okay.

Use this as a thread for bonus tips. Here's one: While you plan your menu, pay attention to which ingredients you will have leftover. If the stuffing requires 2 ribs of celery, I know I'll have at least 4 leftover on the stalk. This might inform my decision to to a celery-heavy salad on the side.

I like to choose recipes that use the same oven temperature. Honestly this is game changing for making sure things are all coming out at the same time (excluding things you made the day before/cold things, obviously.)

@Arieljaay 2 года назад

Ever since I started butterflying turkeys before cooking them I've never gone back. They cook faster, are easier to baste evenly, and when you remove that gigantic spine a few days before Thanksgiving you can make incredible homemade stock with it.

Celery based salad? Why are you punishing your guests? What have they done to upset you?

Shaq, My wife has had Thanksgiving nailed down for a couple decades now and I can confirm you pretty much covered all the things she does to make it a huge success for ~20 people every year. The one modification we would recommend: do lunch instead of dinner! You'll be mostly full the rest of the day so you don't even need to serve dinner -- or people can have leftovers if they want. It also gives people time to not rush having dessert.

@josephdouglas5242 2 года назад

I agree with the lunch thing. Or maybe more like a 2 or 3 o clock meal (it's Thanksgiving, it's good to be extra hungry for the meal).

@sarahs3988 2 года назад

@@josephdouglas5242 we do around 2, and call it dinner and have dessert a couple hours later.

@PaigeWeso 2 года назад

I agree 2 seems to be the sweet spot, plus you can tell the late people in your family that it’s at noon and they’ll show up just a little early

Tips - If you want to transition hosting Thanksgiving from your mother or the aunties, start planning in the summer and have it wrapped up by Labor Day. The suggestion of having things out so your guests do not crowd the kitchen is excellent. I did this year's ago and it became the signature event of the weekend. Friends were able to drop by and share holiday greetings for a few minutes before heading off to obligation dinners. Keep it simple - bread, fruit, cheese, nuts, olives, and if you've been able to make a frittata the night before - bonus! Shaq'sbest advice "Relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors."

Phenomenal video that translates to basically any dinner or lunch party plan. Understanding what work needs to be done the day of, the day before, and what your guests can do for you is just plain invaluable and turns an unorganized mess into a well-oiled...kitchen

Haha I’m all about dipping them high mids for background music. I appreciate it as a shout out to your fellow nerds. There is no detail too small to set good party vibes

@christineg5699 Год назад

I’ve been hosting Thanksgiving for two decades and this advice is spot on. The detailed timeline for the big day is absolutely critical. I especially like that you remind the host not to kill the vibe by preemptively apologizing for supposed deficiencies. Happy cooking.

I love the succinct, straight to the point style of his videos. No wasting time showing him performing the intermediate steps of cutting vegetables, or other screen fillers. And he understands that we are not idiots, and we can rewind and rewatch the video if we missed something. We may not always remember all these tips and tricks, but it's easy to find them and a 3-5 minute how-to will bring us up to speed when we've already got the pots and pans on the stove.

One of my best ideas was to get two different packs of aluminum take away containers. I don’t use them a lot so they last me forever, but they are super convenient to give guests a take away or to bring food to parties without worrying if you’ll ever see your dishes or Tupperware again.

@autumnalburn 2 года назад

We don't celebrate thanksgiving in my country, but I think it applies for any other holiday with lots of food. In my family we usually each bring a dish and someone takes on more responsibility to do a dish that you can eat standalone. We have been doing it for so long that it usually works itself out without any communication and planning, but you need to be able to adapt. I remember the time my mom brought a whole raw porchetta for a barbeque, if we were going to eat it the same day we had to adapt. I unrolled it and grilled it high above the coals for like an hour, was super tasty.

The holiday is about spending time with people, and gratitude (though indulgent over consumption of food) It’s essentially a “harvest” festival. Lots of fall decor. Just make a bunch of food, and bring people together for conversation and food.
