Preparing the holiday meal can feel like a juggling act: Twelve guests of honor, eleven pounds of potatoes, ten would-be helpers (who are really just in the way), nine side dishes (all needing to go into the oven at different times), eight holiday candlesticks (which have to be dug out of storage), seven simmering saucepans, six desserts, five main courses... all that's missing is a partridge in a pear tree. But who needs partridge when there's a turkey in the oven causing more anxiety and double-checking than a newborn baby? Get your kitchen under control with ease using our favorite holiday cooking tools.
