Pre-Thanksgiving Prep

Before hosting your guests and the oven is filled with delicious dishes, keeping your kitchen and home organized and in order is key to maintaining a relaxed atmosphere.

1. Clean as You Cook

Cooking a Thanksgiving feast can quickly lead to chaos, with containers, ingredients, and utensils scattered everywhere, along with potential stains from spills and splatters. One way to stay on top of the mess is by practicing “Mise en place,” the French concept of organizing and prepping everything before you start cooking.

This method not only helps you stay efficient but also keeps your kitchen tidy throughout the day. Very simple: as you prep, make a habit of cleaning up as you go. Quick 'n Brite All-Purpose Cleaning Paste is perfect for wiping away spills, flour dust, and grease splatters from countertops and stovetops.
