Happy Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving is a stressful holiday for appliance dealers with service. When I was a service manager, I would be reminded of the many parties ruined if that service guy didn’t fix the range.

All those great parties that I was never invited too...

Then about 10 years ago, I was invited to a neighbor’s house who bought her appliances at Yale. The stove didn’t work the day of the holiday, so we routed a tech to her home.

Naturally, it was a whole clock housing which we could only FedEx the next day. My neighbor was worried because she had a big brisket to be cooked.

I still remember being soaked with meat gravy as I dragged that brisket to my house to be cooked in my oven. I don’t even eat meat.

Anyways, I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. If you don’t have a neighbor willing to cook your bird and are having a bad day, read the following articles about cooking and appliances, in general, to save you from future stress.

Then, you can be ready for the next holiday.

Here are a few Pro Holiday Cooking Tips from Chef Saba:

1.) Time management: Make sure to cook the desserts or items that take the longest first or ahead of time.

2.) Prep: Make sure to prep as much as possible before starting the cooking process

3.) Turkey: Dry brining is easier to execute over wet brining, it takes up less room, and is less messy

4.) Keeping Food Warm: If you don't have a warming drawer, use your second oven to keep food and plates warm. Set the temperature between 160 F and 200 F.
