Celebrating Thanksgiving at Buckingham Place

2020 may have thrown some major roadblocks our way, but there are still a lot of things to be thankful for. Stay grateful especially when you are safe at home with your family. It’s not advisable to go out but you can always celebrate Thanksgiving at home with your loved ones.

Cooking Tips and Recipes

If you want to fully relax and enjoy Thanksgiving, prepare ahead of time. Get your turkey ahead and make sure it is vacuum-packed to keep it fresh for 3 days.

Do you want to save time? Make dishes ahead of time. You can prepare a lot of food ahead without sacrificing its quality and flavor. Cook different dishes in one oven and use aluminum foil to keep them moist. Place your turkey on the lowest rack as it’s the longest to cook. You can then reheat or bake other dishes on the top rack.

Safety in the Kitchen

Always wash your hands as you may be transferring the bacteria to your food. Your knives should be out of reach of children. When cooking, ensure you don’t position pot handles in front of the stove. Also, do not use the same cutting board for your meat and vegetables. If you’re not careful, you may get sick with salmonella. Most importantly, get a fire extinguisher to prevent fires.
