Take a store-bought smoked ham and give it another round on the smoker with a sweet peach glaze, and you’ll get perfectly salty, smoky meat with a crisp, caramelized bark that looks and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did. It’s an impressive Thanksgiving main dish that will leave your guests raving!
The sous vide takes the stress out of cooking your Thanksgiving centerpiece. By using the sous vide method, you get edge-to-edge medium-rare perfection, no overdone ends, no guessing, no panic. Just incredibly tender, juicy beef with a beautifully seared crust that looks like you’ve been doing this for years. It’s way more foolproof than you’d think. If you’re ready to upgrade from turkey this year, this is your move.
Ditch Dry
Your secret weapon for a holiday feast that feels gourmet without the panic. The brine does the heavy lifting, locking in moisture and seasoning every bite, and the smoker adds that irresistible, slow-built flavor that makes guests hover around the cutting board. You get beautifully bronzed skin and unbelievably juicy meat. If you’ve ever wanted to serve a show-stopping bird with total confidence, start here.
Make It Homemade
This from-scratch cranberry sauce is the perfect mix of tart fresh cranberries, sweet brown sugar and bright orange zest, all simmered to perfection. It brings a beautiful pop of flavor and color to your table, and it couldn’t be easier to pull off. If you’re ready to upgrade from the ordinary and make something truly memorable, this is your move.
