WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT? 3 Genius Hacks For Holiday Dinners [Photos of grated butter.]( With Thanksgiving right around the corner, these timely hacks are sure to come in handy. 1. Use A Slow Cooker As A Warmer. One of the trickiest aspects of Thanksgiving dinner is the timing—there are so many moving pieces! To prevent your highly anticipated sides from getting cold, put them in a slow cooker on the ‘warm’ setting. (You can also do this with the ‘keep warm’ setting on your Instant Pot.) 2. Insulate Your Gravy. Whether it forms a weird film on top or congeals unpleasantly, letting your Thanksgiving gravy get cold isn’t doing it any favors. To prevent that from happening, pour your finished gravy into an insulated carafe or thermos. It’s an easy way to keep your gravy warm and film-free until it’s time to eat. 3. Embrace Grated Butter. Making biscuits or pie crusts for your holiday meal? Grate the butter instead of dicing it. Chill it in your freezer for about 15 minutes, then grate it and add it to the dry ingredients. The butter pieces will be easy to distribute evenly, helping to ensure the finished product is perfectly flaky.
