For the Bird

Brining a turkey overnight keeps the breast meat moist, but finding a container large enough for the bird and the brine is the hard part. The Norpro brining bag solves that. It holds a large holiday turkey along with its brine, closes with a double zipper, and fits on a refrigerator shelf or in a cooler packed with ice.Set the bag in a roasting pan or a large bowl before filling it to catch any drips. Add the bird and the cooled brine, then press out the air and seal both zippers. Turn the bag once or twice during brining so every part of the turkey stays submerged.The same bag works for chicken and pork loin, or for marinating a brisket before it goes on the smoker. After brining, rinse and dry the bird, then roast it on the Norpro adjustable roast rack and baste it with the stainless steel baster. Learn More

Norpro Gravy Separator helps with separating fat from sauces, stock, soup and gravy. Has a dripless spout for clean pouring. This item is high heat resistant plastic with a 4 cup capacity. Dishwasher safe. Learn More

Pan drippings come with browned bits and herb stems, and the Norpro 4-cup gravy separator catches all of it in a removable stainless strainer before the liquid settles. The fat then rises in the glass cup, and you pour the lean juices out through the spout at the bottom.Glass handles hot drippings poured straight from the roasting pan and lets you see exactly where the fat line sits. The cup is marked in cups and milliliters, and a broad handle stays comfortable when the separator is full. The glass spout is the one delicate part, so keep it from knocking against the sink or other pans. Rinse the glass with warm water before the first hot pour on a cold day.Use it for gravy, pan sauces, soups and homemade stock. For a lighter plastic version without the strainer, see the Norpro 4-cup separator and measurer. It is a natural companion to the adjustable roast rack, which keeps the drippings clear of the roast so they are ready to pour into the separator. Learn More

Butcher’s twine is the simplest way to truss a turkey, tie a rolled pork loin or hold a stuffed chicken breast together, and a dispenser keeps the roll clean and from unraveling across the counter. Norpro’s stainless steel holder comes loaded with 220 feet of unbleached, 18-ply cotton twine that is food safe.Pull what you need through the opening in the lid and cut it with kitchen shears. The holder is a 3.25-inch cube that sits on the counter by the cutting board or in a drawer, and refilling it means only lifting the lid and dropping in a new roll. Cotton twine holds up in the oven and on a rotisserie, but Norpro advises keeping it away from open flame.It also ties deboned meats and closes a stuffed whole fish. Beyond roasts, use it to tie herb bundles for stock or to wrap holiday parcels. Customers trussing a turkey pair it with the Norpro adjustable roast rack and the brining bag. Learn More

A flat whisk lies almost level against the bottom of a skillet, so every wire stays in contact with the pan. That makes it the right tool for a roux, a pan sauce or gravy, where flour and fond in the corners of the pan need to be worked into the liquid before they scorch.Norpro’s Krona flat whisk is about 9 inches long, short enough to control in a small saucepan and to tuck into a utensil crock. The wires are professional-gauge stainless steel with a high polish, and the handle is solid filled and sealed, so water cannot seep in and collect inside it. Norpro also suggests it for lifting poached eggs out of simmering water.For gravy in a roasting pan or a wide braiser, the longer Krona 11-inch flat whisk keeps your hand farther from the heat. The Krona Sauce Master uses a flat coil that works well for heating milk without scalding. Pair any of them with the Norpro glass gravy separator at the holidays. Learn More

We tested it with three distinct textures: ultra-fine powdered sugar, medium-grain cinnamon sugar and all-purpose flour.For flouring the bench or dusting in quantity, see the Ateco 1348 10 oz. shaker, which also has a lid for storage.
