Essential Equipment for the Perfect Christmas Roast

 

Christmas is time for family, friends and food, and Christmas dinner is without a doubt the main meal of the entire year. Prepare your kitchen for the king of roasts and make sure your Christmas turkey is the one everybody will be talking about for all the right reasons.

With two layers of premium stainless steel encasing an aluminium core, this 3-ply roaster from Le Creuset ensures the heat is distributed evenly throughout the whole pan. Measuring a generous 35 x 25 cm its large capacity will hold even the biggest of turkeys, yet will still fit in a standard sized oven. The Le Creuset 3-ply Roaster is available from John Lewis for £115.47.

 

The secret to a delicious roast is to keep the air circulating freely around it. Using a roasting tray will also enable the juices to run, creating a perfect roast every time. Le Creuset’s 3-Ply Roasting Rack is the ideal partner to the roasting tray above, and it also has a non-stick coating resulting in easy cleaning too!

 

Keep the juices flowing with this Deluxe Baster Set from Lakeland (£9.99). Made of stainless steel, the baster also comes with a needle allowing you to inject the juices back into your turkey, resulting in a succulent, mouthwatering treat for all to enjoy.
