With so many different dishes to prepare, stove-top and oven space is particularly precious on Thanksgiving. While some things like pies [1], rolls, and cornbread can be made in their entirety ahead of time, that still leaves the bulk of the cooking for the day of. That's where the slow cooker comes into play; it may not be traditional to cook stuffing, mashed potatoes, or a glazed ham in this beloved appliance, but that doesn't mean you should write it off. The results speak for themselves, and it alleviates some of the Thanksgiving day stress.
