We’ve got everything you need to create a memorable holiday season! Whether you’re a seasoned cook or new to the kitchen, our tips, recipes, and ideas are designed to make your holiday cooking and baking experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Christmas Main Course Tips
- Larger meats like ham or prime rib can take several hours to cook. Start early to avoid a rush.
- Account for resting time after cooking, especially for meats. This allows juices to be redistributed.
- To ensure your main course is cooked perfectly, use a meat thermometer.
- Keep the finished roast in an oven set to a low temperature (around 200°F) to keep it warm without overcooking.
Throw an epic feast with our delicious options for a holiday meal worthy of a restaurant! We’ll make it easy with easy-to-follow recipes, video demonstrations, and tips and tricks to guide you through the entire meal.
