Making Perfect: Thanksgiving

How many times have you made a turkey on Thanksgiving and ended up serving your guests undercooked meat? Or have you ever used frozen cranberry sauce and regretted it immediately? Brad and Andy want to help you move past the uncertainty and the shame and teach you to make the perfect Thanksgiving turkey and cranberry sauce.

What is the perfect equation for mashed potatoes and gravy? Many have strived towards perfection, but have any actually reached it? The answer is probably not. But that was before Molly Baz and Carla Music tried to make perfect MP&G. Did they accomplish their mission?

On Thanksgiving, what's better than stuffing? Nothing. Nothing is better than stuffing. It's the best. But what if it was truly perfected? We believe that perfect stuffing could lead to world peace. That's why on this episode of Making Perfect, our very own Chris Morocco and Rick Martinez are taking up the noble task of perfecting it. And isn't that really the spirit of Thanksgiving?

In the world of Thanksgiving sides, there is a plethora of options, so deciding on which ones to make for your feast can be challenging. That's why Claire Saffitz and Christina Chaey are here to up your Thanksgiving side dish game.

Claire Saffitz and Brad Leone know that after turkey and stuffing, a Thanksgiving meal is judged on its pies. Guests, all of whom have saved room in their stomachs, will ask: 'What type of pies did the hosts provide? What was the quality of the crust? Was this pumpkin pie pumpkin-y enough?' Claire and Brad want you to pass your guests' pie grading, so they've endeavored to make the perfect Thanksgiving pie.

Brad, Claire, Rick, Carla, Andy, Chris, Molly and Christina have striven over the last few weeks to create the perfect component parts of a Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, sides, pie. Now they're here to bring it all together in the finale and make a (mostly) absolutely perfect Thanksgiving meal.
