These are some of the best hosting hacks to make Turkey Day go as smoothly.
- Use ChatGPT - TikToker @crcederberg shares that she fed all her recipes for Thanksgiving into ChatGPT, then asked the AI chatbot to make a plan of when to prep each dish to be ready to sit down to eat at 4p.m.
- Plan serving dishes ahead of time - From baking dishes to serving bowls, platters and utensils, TikToker @victoriafoxco labels them in advance to make sure she has enough of everything she needs.
- Group ingredients together - @brunchwithbabs puts all the ingredients for each dish on separate baking sheets, pre-measuring ingredients and printing out a recipe card for each tray.
- Set up a buffet station - Another TikTok video shows an easy way to serve by turning your kitchen into a buffet station. Just cover it with brown craft paper and write what each item is, that way people can serve themselves and won’t have to ask what’s what.
- Easy way to peel potatoes - For those that hand peel, this video advises sticking a fork in one end of the potato for a better grip. And this clip suggests scoring the potatoes down the middle before boiling so the skins just peel right off.
- Put gravy in a thermos - Free space on the stove and keep gravy warm by keeping it in a thermos.
