The New York Times - The very best baking sheet
Today we’ll walk you through a few of our favorite turkey hacks, plus more gear for an excellent Thanksgiving dinner—including the very best baking sheets and an on-sale mini food processor we love.
Kitchen expert Maki Yazawa’s advice for cooking a great turkey? Use a Bundt pan. Yep—these pans, usually reserved for cake-baking, are shockingly effective at roasting a small turkey. Propping the bird up on the pan helps maximize airflow, allowing hot air to reach all sides for crispy results. And the deep structure of the pan is the perfect container to collect juices. Plus, you’re probably more likely to use a Bundt pan beyond Thanksgiving, as opposed to a big roasting pan, which may only see the light of day a couple times a year.

Every kitchen could use a solid baking sheet. It’s inexpensive and incredibly useful for more than just cookies. Think: roasting veggie sides, catching drips from a pie as it bakes, or making perfectly golden cornbread. After hours of baking and tasting over the last 11 years, we’ve concluded that our top pick is the best all-purpose baking sheet.
Every Thanksgiving, founding editor of NYT Cooking Sam Sifton becomes “that guy” that has multiple turkeys going at once: one frying, one baking, and one outside, smoking on the grill. But achieving the perfect turkey on the grill is a hard job. Although smoking yields delicious results, it also usually requires a lot of babysitting. Sam’s secret weapon to have his smoked turkey and eat it too? This simple device that turns any gas grill into a smoker.

For a truly stunning holiday pie, disposable aluminum plates just won’t cut it. Regardless of what you’re filling your pies with (might we suggest seasame-swirled pumpkin?), a great plate is paramount. Our top pick is just the right size and bakes wonderfully evenly—and it’s clear, so you can keep an eye on your crust as it’s browning.
