With Thanksgiving coming up fast, here is list of 5 must have tools for your Thanksgiving Feast:
1. Pie PlateBake flaky, fully cooked crusts and get an even bake on homemade pies by keeping a quality pie plate on hand. There are all sorts of cutting-edge models, but a sturdy, ovenproof glass or ceramic plate is all you need.
Year-round uses: Roast vegetables, bake cinnamon rolls or cook creative party dips in your pie plate.
2. Meat ThermometerThis gadget takes the guesswork out of cooking a perfectly tender turkey. We suggest an ovenproof digital version that allows you to read the temperature without opening and closing the oven. Be sure to handle the hot probe carefully and give it a thorough cleaning after each use.
Year-round uses: Check the doneness of beef, pork, poultry and egg dishes, plus use it when baking homemade bread to test the water temperature before adding yeast.

3. Bulb BasterThe secret to a moist, golden-skinned turkey is cooking it in its own juices, also called basting. Use this handheld tool — made of silicone or stainless steel — to make basting easy. Just be sure to baste with caution, as the drippings are piping hot.
Year-round uses: Remove and replace the murky water in fresh floral arrangements without having to take your bouquet out of the vase, or baste other tasty meat dishes.

4. Mesh StrainerWhip up smooth and creamy gravy with this essential Turkey Day tool. Rest it in a heat-resistant bowl, then strain pan drippings through it. The super-fine wire mesh filters out unwanted bits, so you’re left with a bold-flavored base for gravy.
Year-round uses: Avoid lumps by sifting flour and powdered sugar for baked goods with a clean and completely dry mesh strainer.

5. Set of BrushesAdd the finishing touches to your Thanksgiving foods with a useful set of brushes. Coat yummy pies with an egg wash or glaze the turkey! Avoid broken bristles and simplify cleanup by choosing ones that are dishwasher safe.
Year-round uses: Keep brushes within reach to butter baking pans, glaze grilled foods and spread sauce or olive oil on pizza crust.
