This stainless steel roaster is tough so your turkey won’t be.

For even browning and roasting, you can’t go wrong with the Calphalon Stainless Roaster. This 16-inch roasting pan is made of stainless steel with an aluminum core designed for high-quality conductivity, allowing your 25-pound turkey (or game hens) to roast evenly. It will make your turkey tender (add slices of lemon or orange for added flavor), even though it’s so tough it can handle temperatures up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit. A must-have kitchen accessory, the roaster comes with a V-shaped nonstick roasting rack and stay-cool handles that are extended high for easy transport in and out of your oven. Clean-up is easy as well — just put it in the dishwasher when you’re finished.

2. Big Easy Oil-Less Turkey Fryer

Price: $100

Cook your holiday turkey to the same delectable moistness as a standard deep-fryer, but without the dangerous and unhealthy oil.

A healthy, safe and clean alternative to the traditional oil deep-fryer, this oil-free version also offers the perfect excuse to get outside and cook even on a crisp, cool Thanksgiving day.
