Chef John Saves The Day…Again!

Chef John has a wonderful recipe for Roast Turkey that is easy and will give you just what you need to do for the bird and the gravy. One commenter mentioned that he roasts the bird the day before The Event, so he has plenty of time. Brilliant!

Turkey can be inexpensive when purchased off season (not during holidays), so you might consider picking one up and roasting it when the pressure is off. 😀 Also, consider that, like chicken, you can take the cooked meat off the carcass and freeze it for later use.

Is Your Oven Calibrated Properly?

I often hear people complain that they have difficulty baking or roasting in the time specified by the recipe. Some say that they have to add more than an hour to the cooking time. This might indicate that their oven needs to be calibrated. This means that the temperature inside the oven matches the temperature you selected when you turned the oven on.

You can reach out to an appliance technician to come to your home and check your oven or you can do it yourself. Learn how to calibrate your oven: HERE.
