Last-Minute Thanksgiving | Basics with Babish

Thanksgiving is different this year, but even if you've never made so much as a single fixin', there's no reason you can't still enjoy a comforting, delicious feast with those you love. It'll just be over webcam is all - which, let's face it, has its own advantages. So throw on your favorite pj's and ready the mute button for when your uncle starts talking politics, because we're exploring a new kind of Thanksgiving in 2020! One that can largely be prepared ahead of time, in about 4 hours all told.

My playlist of preferred cooking tunes, Bangers with Babish!

Note: apples turning brown is a result of oxidization, which can indeed be detrimental to your pie - it can give it a slight tinny, artificial apple taste. It won’t ruin it, but it won’t do it any favors either. My bad!

"Turn your oven to it's lowest setting, mine is 200F"

You need a new oven, Andy. My oven's lowest setting is "Off."

never knew that the phrase “tiny whisk until homogeneous” could be so comforting...

I love that Babish's idea of "last minute" includes an overnight brine.

Give Kendall a raise, that brussel sprout trick is GENIUS.

Heres a true last minute thanksgiving
A grocery store bought rotisserie chicken
Instant mashed potatoes
Canned cranberry sauce
Stove top stuffing
Canned gravy
Canned vegetables
Store bought pie

And voila, a true last minute thanksgiving meal, a meal that screams “I forgot it was thanksgiving”

Babish is so iconic that YouTube itself now sponsors his vids.

This video: *gets recommended to me*
Me, a vegetarian who lives in a country where thanksgiving isn't a thing, also it's January: ah yes this is essential information for me

I love how Babish says “everybody” to refer to the apples and vegetables ☺️ So cute

[hsfa]

I’m telling you, someone needs to make a compilation of him saying “homogeneous”

HE DID IT! He said "crushed clove of garlic" instead of "clove of crushed garlic". I can die in peace now. Thank you.

You should make Grandma Spankenheimer's Fruitcake from, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", movie when it's Christmas

“Totally doable in about four hours”

You overestimate my power!

I knew we were doing brussels sprouts but I hadn't decided precisely how I'd prepare them until I watched this video. In addition to bacon we also had some dried cranberries, so I tossed in a handful along with a few glugs of strawberry balsamic to make a vinaigrette of sorts with the bacon grease. YUM!
