 <\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Day is such a fun holiday to celebrate with family and friends.   I have fond memories of making the perfect feast while having family and friends gather around the table.   I like to make a large tantalizing turkey, bursting open with cranberry crusted stuffing.  Mashed potatoes are easy in my family, we whip up a giant mound of Hungry Jack potatoes…my favorite.  Vegetables change every year, but the candied marshmallow yams and my Mom’s frozen cranberry salad are a must!<\/p>\n

I typically have two main problems to solve every Thanksgiving:<\/p>\n

1.  How to get all the food hot to the table all at once.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.  Who is going to slice the turkey?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With regards to the first question, getting the food hot to the table, I have a solution called Crockpot Hook-Ups<\/a>, which I will share in another article.<\/p>\n

Who Will Carve the Turkey This Year?<\/span><\/h2>\n

As to the question, who will carve the turkey, I have a solution for that too.  In my family, for years, nobody ever likes to carve the turkey.  It’s a lot of work, and after all, who has ever been trained on the proper way to carve a turkey?  I haven’t.  Unless it’s a steak from the grill, the idea of cutting up a turkey…or any bird for that matter,  is less than appealing for my husband.<\/p>\n

My Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

My solution is to use an electric knife.  In my household, we are constantly looking for ways technology can make life easier…or at least more fun.  Introduce an electric knife, and what male wouldn’t jump at the chance to cut up the turkey?   Problem solved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Does it Slice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beautifully.  You can slice a number of slices right down to the bone, then cut the slices horizontally take the slices off the bone.   If the meat doesn’t slice evenly, it’s the electric knife’s fault, right?  In the meanwhile, you’ve never seen your husband be so precise with his bird cutting.  He’ll likely cut up all the meat to the bone.   Check out this all familiar scene of getting help cutting the bird, and how the electronic knife solves it…<\/p>\n
