I'm trying Jamie Oliver's 'get ahead gravy' hack to save time on Christmas Day, using these 3 cookware essentials – even after a decade, it's still a classic

Jamie Oliver.

There's no time to waste in my quest to get prepped for Christmas cooking and this week I'm turning to Jamie Oliver's 'Get Ahead Gravy' hack to tick one job off my Christmas to-do list in advance.
