It applies to Thanksgiving, too. Keeping up with dishwashing helps the cook stay clear-minded and efficient. And it actually isn’t faster to let everything pile up in the sink.

Everyone is sat at the table but your turkey is nowhere near cooked? No dramas. Simply wrap the bird in foil and turn the heat up to 230°C for around two minutes per lb, which should speed things up.

A typical Thanksgiving dinner can amount to 3,000 calories or more. And if you have seconds, your intake can equal a half dozen Big Macs.

There might not be enough crispy turkey skin for everyone at your table, and although nothing can match up to crispy skin, you can supplement the loss with crunchy condiments.
