Since the fall season has started, people are already preparing for the upcoming holidays! Marking the first holiday of the end of the year, Thanksgiving is a heavily anticipated day as everyone can slow down and take a step back to appreciate everything they have.
Whether you’re celebrating with your family, friends or a few loved ones, Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to gather and give thanks to the people around you. What better way to do so than over a big, hearty dinner?
MAKO Design + Invent knows preparing Thanksgiving dinners can be stressful, so we’ve compiled a few handy inventions that are sure to make your holiday preparations as stress-free as possible! Unfortunately, we can’t promise that your twice-divorced aunt won’t ask if you’re still single.
The Ultimate Thanksgiving Invention for Your Turkey
What’s a Thanksgiving dinner without the infamous Thanksgiving turkey? One of the hardest parts of a Thanksgiving meal to prepare, the Thanksgiving turkey is a tradition for almost all dinners. The problem with the Thanksgiving turkey is that cooking it perfectly has proven to be a stressful struggle.
Luckily, one of the greatest Thanksgiving inventions that was made to help the at-home cook is the ‘Ultimate Turkey Rack.’ As the name implies, this turkey rack is made to help cook a turkey as easily as possible.
Simply attach the invention to your preferred roasting pan and slide the turkey through the skewers. Once placed in the oven, all you need to do is flip the turkey once and stick it back in until both sides are fully cooked. This invention was designed to allow both sides of the turkey to roast evenly without the fear of the turkey getting stuck to traditional racks or getting soggy, lying in oily roasting pans.
A Thanksgiving Invention Made for Everyone’s Favourite Side Dish
Mashed potatoes are a classic dish at every Thanksgiving dinner. Although the dish is a fan favourite at the table, it is usually dreaded in the kitchen. As most people find smashing potatoes tedious and difficult, Dreamfarm’s Smood is an innovative Thanksgiving invention made to help make the perfect potatoes seamlessly.
By pushing down with the tool, Smoods springs flatten, which forces your potatoes through the thin gaps within its coils, creating a smooth and fluffy mash. The best thing about this Thanksgiving invention is that it works perfectly for other foods such as avocados, bananas, pumpkins, and more, making it the quintessential multi-functional product.
Edible Markers for Your Thanksgiving Desserts
Although the main event for Thanksgiving is a huge dinner, the after-dinner treats are just as good! There are a number of traditional Thanksgiving desserts that are enjoyed at the dinner table, but if you’re looking to add your own special signature touch to the mix, why not customize your own treats?
The Wilton Edible Markers uniquely allow you to draw special designs onto your desserts just as if you were drawing with real markers! This Thanksgiving invention is perfect for decorating cookies, cupcakes, cakes, and pies, just make sure you’re writing on icing or a piece of fondant and your customized desserts can come to life!
A Thanksgiving Invention to Help Make Your Turkey Taste Better
Cooking the ultimate Thanksgiving turkey is never a simple task, especially when families want to incorporate traditional family recipes into the mix. As more cooks are looking to add their own touches to the family dinner table, the difficulty in cooking becomes more difficult.
An example of this is infusing Thanksgiving turkeys with special sauces or beverages in order to make a more succulent turkey. The Camp Chef Infusion Roaster is the perfect Thanksgiving invention made to help people make their desired turkey infused with their sauce or beverage of choice.
Simply fill the roasting arm of this invention with your preferred sauce or beverage and place the poultry on top. The heat will let out steam through the invention, infusing your turkey with flavour instantly. This is a simple and extremely helpful invention to make cooking easier!
