Thanksgiving dinner at 400 degrees

The Thanksgiving holiday is arguably the biggest food holiday in the United States. After all, it is the only official holiday created specifically to celebrate food, in the form of the fall harvest. It’s a mere ten days away, which means that cooks across the nation are making meal plans, stocking up on ingredients, sharpening knives, and polishing silver. Most of us make several dishes ahead to save both time and critical oven space. 

Not so Sam Sifton and Melissa Clark. They show us how it’s possible to create a complete Thanksgiving dinner in one day, with a four-burner stove and a single oven set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The process is shown in a series of mini-videos, each a few seconds long, interspersed with recipes and checkpoints so you can make sure you are staying on track to finish in time.
