If you’re the type of cook who starts feeling pangs of stress when the calendar flips into November, I’d like to be bearer of great news . . . holiday cooking doesn’t have to be stressful. The key to your best Thanksgiving celebration is making one great decision (relying on our recipes and resources) and then relaxing into the fun, challenging, and rewarding days ahead. I know it may be hard to concentrate on what I’m saying with that photo of our Extra-Crispy Skillet Stuffing above. We’re in the solving-cooking-problems business, and this recipe solves several . . . including how to make sure you have plenty of stuffing for everyone (especially the crispy, crunchy bits that people scoop up first) and how to cook deeply flavorful stuffing outside the bird and outside your oven.

[Skillet-Roasted Brussels Sprouts]( The best brussels sprouts recipe you’ll ever find takes these diamonds of the vegetable world from raw to [perfectly caramelized, crispy, and browned in just 20 minutes . . .]( with no oven time. Ideal for any night, our stovetop cooking method means that your sprouts won’t be in line for oven space on Thanksgiving—or worse, combined with a different dish and cooked at that dish’s oven temperature (respect the sprouts!). Our genius technique—start the sprouts in a cold skillet with just a little oil and water—is definitely “share with your friends” worthy. Flavor variations including lemon and Pecorino, maple syrup and smoked almonds, pomegranate and pistachios, and gochujang and sesame seeds keep things interesting. [Icon] Member Comment “Really appreciate the technique in this recipe, gives you the caramelized nutty flavor that I only had associated with roasting in the oven. Cooking in the skillet was so easy! And faster too.” — SUSAN P. [Icon] Product Ratings Extra-virgin olive oil is an ingredient that many cooks reach for every day, so it deserves repeat attention from the ATK Reviews team. We made an exception to our usual ranking system (yes, we do have a top pick) to categorize 10 premium extra-virgin olive oils by their flavor profiles (from mild to robust) based on our tasters’ comments. Our fans appreciate that test kitchen tasters go the extra mile to find the best products that deliver flavor and value.

How about introducing a favorite flavor-building technique that turns butter into a complex, nutty wonder? The key ingredient in our Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies turns out to make mashed potatoes into the best side on your Thanksgiving table. Once the butter is browned, reserve a few tablespoons to drizzle over the potatoes just before serving. [Icon] Cooking Science When butter is heated slowly, its water evaporates and its milk solids separate and undergo the Maillard reaction, at which point they take on a complex, nutty flavor. We pour milk into the browned butter to prevent the butter from overcooking and then stir this browned butter–milk mixture into the potatoes. [images of browned butter]( [Icon] Test Kitchen Technique When mashing potatoes, the goal is to use the gentlest touch possible to avoid bursting the potatoes’ swollen starch granules. Once released, the sticky gel inside will turn the mash gluey. We recommend a potato masher for this recipe, but you can also use a ricer or a food mill. We don’t recommend using an electric mixer. [Different ways to mash potatoes. YES to a masher, ricer, and food mill. NO to a hand mixer.]( [Can't wait for Thanksgiving to make these potatoes?

Our aim during recipe development was maximum simplicity in service of great flavor and texture. We chose a technique that enabled better hydration of the dough to ensure a tall rise and perfected [an easy rolling and shaping step]( that delivers that “I kneaded dough and it felt great” satisfaction that bread bakers love. [Icon] Member Comment “These rolls had everything you’d want in a soft dinner roll. They were pillowy, with a tender, tight crumb. And they were quick—The 30-minute second rise was super helpful on a weeknight.” — N.N. [Icon] Test Kitchen Technique Why do these rolls need a short rest? We use a mixing technique called autolyse; this is mixing wet and dry ingredients together—withholding the sugar and salt—and letting the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Then you add the sugar and salt and knead the dough in the stand mixer. The resting period allows the flour to fully hydrate (both sugar and salt can slow hydration), resulting in sufficient gluten formation (during subsequent kneading and rising) that leads to tall, fluffy rolls.
