My Favorite Kitchen Finds to Assist for the Holidays

With the holidays right around the corner, let's admit that preparing food for your love ones and hosting can come with challenges in itself. Here are some of my favorite appliance must haves, to keep the cheer going all season, and help you become one of the best hosts this holiday.

One of my biggest struggles while cooking for the holidays, is not having enough space for all the food to be cooked on time. Whether its the turkey taking up the whole oven, or the fridge being filled with ingredients and food, here is how I tackle these issues.

My top favorite appliance for dealing with a full oven and to cut down cooking time is the CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie, Dehydrator, Convection Oven, 17 Touch Screen Presets Fry, Roast, Dehydrate, Bake, XL 10L Family Size, Auto Shutoff, Large Easy-View Window, Black.

This three tier digital air fryer is perfect for making meals for large families with its x-large 10 Liter holding capacity. Not only does this kitchen air fry, but also has the capabilities of baking, dehydrating, roasting to crispy perfection, rotisserie. With it see through window, digital touch screen, and 17 preset options the Chefman is the perfect fit for battling oven space. So while the turkey is in the oven, skip the pre heat with ChefMan and still be able to finish everything in time for the holiday feast.

The Crock-Pot is another kitchen must have for the holidays. It is one of my favorite appliances to use for making ribs, meatballs, casseroles, chilli when the oven is occupied.

The Crock-Pot varies in many sizes, so find the one that fits your needs the most. It is one of my favorite leave it, let it work its magic, and enjoy appliances out there. If you are unsure what to cook I would recommend The Complete Crockpot Cookbook for Beginners: 1001-days Easy and Delicious Recipes for Everyday Slow Cooking.

Ok, so now we have all the food prepared, there are still challenges we have to face to being the perfect host. That challenge is keeping all the foods and drinks properly heated and chilled throughout the holiday parties.

Chafing dishes are a thing of the past. Yes, the flames are keeping your food warm, but is a safety hazard if not used properly. So prevent any fires this holiday and upgrade to my favorite food warmers instead. The top on my list is Food Warming Mats. This is a perfect alternative for keeping your food warm or even thawing food out while preparing meals!

With 3 temperature settings, these food warming mats are perfect the kitchen appliance for buffet style meals, parties and holiday gatherings.

Another great alternative for keeping your food warm throughout your holiday parties is Proctor Silex Buffet Server & Food Warmer. My favorite feature of this food warmer, are its clear contactless lids.

Not only are the lids perfect for sanitation and keeping closed when food isn't being served, but the convenient lid rest holds up the lids as well. This will allow your holiday guests to serve themselves, without having to even touch the lids to open. This will help prevent any future food messes, while keeping your food heated to perfection all night.

Now we all know a holiday party isn't complete without drinks and desserts, but keeping them chilled is another challenge we may face. Yes, we can keep them chilled in the fridge, but let's step it up and make it even more accessible for your holiday guests. Using an Inflatable Serving Bar is the perfect hack.

The inflatable serving bar is perfect for chilling drinks, keeping your shrimp cocktails, salads, and desserts chilled. It also allows easy view access for your holiday guests to help themselves.

Now that we covered all the challenges you may face while being the perfect holiday host, I hope you feel more jolly and at ease during this holiday season. Happy Holidays, may your season be filled with love, laughter and joy🫶🏻
