[Sca-cooks] The 50th annual SCA-Cooks Thanksgiving list!

[Diane & Micheal Reid]

 You know you could always splurg and buy the heat wand for turkey stuffing. 
Allows you to do stuffing with none of the worries of nasties.
 Essentialy it`s a hollow stainless steel tube witha  point on one end to 
conduct heat through the bird cooking the stuffing. Don`t have one myself 
but American Kitchens program on the Telly seems to think they work.
