When preparing for the upcoming holiday, we can all hope to be as cool, calm, and collected as the iconic Michelle Pfeiffer. She shared how she roasts her turkey to golden brown perfection in an Instagram post from last Thanksgiving, and it's never looked so easy.
Though you can't anticipate every aspect of what could go wrong when hosting for the holidays, half the battle is having the best kitchen appliances and tools. Choosing the right accessories helps all your food come out on time, keeps guests satisfied while waiting, and eliminates the stress of putting away items to make your kitchen beautiful enough for hosting. A glance at Michelle Pfiffer's kitchen shows that she might have the perfect formula: a stylish kettle, a wonderful coffee maker, and a high-quality roasting pan. Luckily, Black Friday is the best time to shop for these tools.
Starting with the least obvious, having one of the best coffee makers is a great way to kick your Thanksgiving off right. Most people are happiest when they have a cup of coffee, and Pfeiffer's machine is perfect for making enough for everyone. She always keeps the Cuisinart DCC-3000 Coffee-on-Demand 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker (available on Amazon) on her countertops, even while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. This large coffee maker is versatile and stylish, beautiful on the countertop, no matter what.
This beautiful glass kettle is wonderful for making tea and heating water the right way. It looks just as gorgeous on your countertops when it's not in use.
This shiny roasting rack is something every chef needs. Whether it's for roasting turkey or making a huge veggie roast. It will come in handy. This one is shiny and stylish just like Pfeiffer's.
This drip coffeemaker is just as effective as it is stylish. Providing up to 12 cups of joe, it will keep you well caffinated throughout the Thanksgiving season and beyond.
Second, Pfeiffer swears by keeping one of the best electric kettles on her countertops throughout cooking. Her kitchen features the Breville Crystal Clear Kettle (on Amazon). I absolutely love a clear kettle; I think it's so beautiful and unique. An electric kettle like this one makes cooking with hot water much easier and allows you to have a cup of tea on deck as you are preparing dinner.
Finally, Pfeiffer cooks her turkey to perfection with a carefully designed roasting pan. Though you can cook meat in any pan, a specialized stainless steel container is the best turkey roasting pan. Look for one with a grill in the bottom to cool and keep the meat's bottom from getting soggy. Our pick is the Rorence pan (from Amazon), which is currently $10 off.
No matter how you are preparing for Thanksgiving, having the right tools by your side can't hurt. Start with the things that will make your life easier and more beautiful, even after the season has passed.
