Is your kitchen conducive to cooking a holiday meal? November through the New Year is typically when a storm of guests visit and dinners are enjoyed. The sheer volume of everything is what catches most kitchens off guard. Will the turkey fit in your oven? If you run two appliances at once, will your fuse short-circuit?
Cooking requires a surprising amount of prep space, especially if you’re cooking multiple courses at a time. Make sure you have enough kitchen resources to get your through the holidays. Here are a few Thanksgiving kitchen hacks to help get you there…
Get an over the sink cutting board
Save counter space by overlapping your cutting board and your sink!
Hang pots and pans from the ceiling
Why sacrifice your cabinets when you can hang your pots from the ceiling like a chef?
Add temporary shelves
Another Thanksgiving kitchen hack is adding temporary stainless steel shelf as extra storage space for the holiday.
Install a kitchen island
With temporary or permanent island additions, you can increase the counter and storage space in your kitchen.
Install extra, easy-access outlets
You’re going to be using a lot of appliances, make sure they have a convenient outlet to pug into.
Repair or replace your garbage disposal
A free flowing sink during food preparation is essential. A clogged sink can seriously inhibit your ability to defrost a turkey, clean dishes, or to keep a clean kitchen.
Make sure your garbage disposal is prepared for leftovers and heavy use.
Increase the size of your sink
A lot of company means a lot of dishes. Having a larger sink will help you get through cleanup quicker!
