  1. I love this list and it’s a must pin. I am already getting my dinner items ready as I am hosting this year and I need quite a few of these things.

  2. Great list!! Cutting board, pie lifter and a good masher are on the top of my list!! A few other things I that I must have when preparing Thanksgiving is a glass a wine, my husband (he does most of the work!) and a Turkey lifter!!! I love Thanksgiving! It is a great time of year with great food!!

  3. Stefanie C. says:

    What a great resource for Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing

  4. Looks like you’ve got a kitchen arsenal going on up there! What time do we turn up for dinner lol 🙂

  5. Wow, there were some products that I had no idea I needed! I am thinking of hosting Thanksgiving in my house this year (eeek!) since it is my first Thanksgiving here. I love the different items you listed as I know I will need them to make my dinner so much easier.

  6. I sometimes consider the kitchen as a battlefield! Lol! To win the war, you need to have the right gadgets and equipment. I sure love your post. This reminds me to acquire the essentials and ensure that I’ll have a great time preparing the food. Thanksgiving is truly just around the corner. Think about how fast time flies. I just hope to have the best tools before the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanks for this timely post, Crystal!

  7. This is a great list of kitchen helpers especially if you are serving Thanksgiving Dinner. There’s just one more that I’d add which is a bundt pan. I know that sounds weird, but I saw a post about serving your stuffing in it and I think it’s genius. So much easier to serve and it presents much better than big, bumpy spoonfuls on your plate!

  8. i love new kitchen gadgets! I am actually an addict. lol. Thanks for sharing, now I have a whole shopping list of things I want to buy before I start to prepare my holiday feasts! I appreciate this post!

  9. Wow I didn’t realize I needed so many different utensils for Thanksgiving dinner. Looks like I better get shopping

  10. This is a great list. Somehow I have managed to not be assigned the task of approaching the kitchen this holiday (internally cheering). I cannot wait to feast though and I am counting down 😀

  11. This is so helpful to me as I’m hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year. It’s so stressful but so much less if you have all the tools you need. Thank you for sharing!

  12. When you have a big family like mine, cooking for Thanksgiving isn’t the most exciting task… But at least these gadgets would shave off some precious time. Might have to note some of these down for next time, thanks!
