Thanksgiving: the one and only unique American holiday that unabashedly focuses on one thing – food! Whether you come from a large family with generations of traditional recipes, or your Thanksgiving is more of a “Friendsgiving” that you share safely with friends in your ‘quarantine pod’, having a memorable meal is still an absolute must for this U.S.A holiday. However, one of the key challenges when cooking any holiday feast is keeping those our slaved-over dishes hot and NOT cold, in the blink of an eye, once you start to serve and then finally sit down to enjoy the banquet. Luckily, we’ve found a solution to keeping your mashed potatoes, green bean casserole or whatever else you’re serving up on the side piping hot this Thanksgiving. This NutriChef warming tray has been designed to be the saving grace for all of your holiday meals – starting with Turkey Day!
