Learned a lot! (Like that I am not using enough milk in my Mashed potatoes 😂) Discovered you when I watched the chocolate cake NYT video. Did not know you were just an NYT guest, I’ll follow your channel too!

I need to get a grip. I'm 76 yrs old & stopped making Thanksgiving dinner several years ago--family lives far away. Instead I've been buy the dinner. Not bad but not great either but at least my husband & I are celebrating. Claire made me want to try & cook my own next year subbing in some family recipes. I'm going to lie down now until that urge goes away.

Claire gets better at explaining and demonstrating every video. In about 5ish years, I think she might be one of the biggest names in home baking. She is already batting 1,000 and only gaining momentum.

This is the year's biggest blockbuster for baking nerds.

The fact that Claire agreed to film for 2 days straight and assuming all day both times AND has to cook this all over again for thanksgiving just proves her love for cooking. Her ability to make everything look so simple and easy while also educating us is so captivating. She's doing exactly what she's meant to do

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving so the only reason I'm watching this video is because of Claire Saffitz. She is awesome so she should be a guest chef more often on this channel.

Claire is by and far the chef I would trust for a best-in-class hour and a half walkthrough of a Thanksgiving feast.

Her understated charisma is truly one-of-a-kind. There is nobody like her.

I really appreciate two things: 1) The tip to use a baking sheet under my cutting board when carving turkey. Makes so much sense. 2) Validation that I don't need a potato ricer for creamy mashed potatoes. Was super close to buying one this year.

Another thing you can use instead that gives the exact same result as a potato potato ricer is a metal strainer just use a spoon to mash the potato pieces through and bam..soft fluffy strands. Hand mixer is great too but if u want that refined look without the extra buying, I recommend

And Claire inspired me to try this pecan dessert this Christmas. Thank you for this!

You could start celebrating the holiday in your country,,it’s being thankful for your family and friends and all that makes you all happy 😊😊😊

for anyone wanting the pecan slab pie measurements (including me): 4¼ cups/454 grams pecan halves ½ cup/113 grams unsalted butter 1 ice cube ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon/163 grams Demerara sugar, plus more for sprinkling 1teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs, chilled 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough 1 recipe Flaky Pie Crust, chilled 1 large egg white, at room temperature Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving

This deserves a billion views. I'm always impressed by Claire and everything I have ever made of hers has been a huge hit with friends and family but this is another level. Her expertise in everything beyond baking is incredible and she's just so articulate and funny you just know all this stuff was delicious!

As someone who lives no where near America and does not celebrate thanks giving, I am delighted to see this feast with Claire. That pecan tart looks exceptionally good.

cutting the pie dough into quarters and then stacking them and rolling that out again is genius! why have i never thought of that. her pie crust looks so flaky and amazing

Blows my mind how much she can do with so little time. Always impressed by Claire

One of my favourite things is Claire picking dishes according to size need and just what she finds cute, as opposed to everything needing to be the same colour or from the same brand. It's exactly what you would do at home.

Claire you are such a wonderful teacher. Such a natural at speaking to people. We feel like we could be in your kitchen along side you. Great video. I loved your favorite Thanksgiving story!

THIS WAS SO WELL DONE. I have a hard time sitting through a 30 min video. Claire is concise while instructional and very easy to listen to, the editing moves at a great pace and I learned so much while enjoying it at the same time!! THANK YOU!

"Hello? Family? Yeah, I can't make it home for Thanksgiving this year. I'm going to be watching Claire Saffitz's Thanksgiving cooking video on loop all day. HUGS AND KISSES!!"

I truly think Claire can literally cook anything and then immediately teach people how to cook it.

80 minutes of Claire, is this a real life?

its a rare treat so see so many positive comments on a youtube video, and well deserved! great job team! everyone loves claire!

1 hour+ of claire? Best thanksgiving gift i think.

Claire, your sour cream and chive rolls have become a staple at our family thanksgiving! We look forward to them every year!!!

Just made all 8 dishes. Loved each one - but as a combination, greater than the sum of their parts AMAZING. (Claire’s cares are all essential words of wisdom)

I love that she goes into detail on how to do things and what goes in what, unlike some chefs that expect you to read their mind. I also love that she makes it really easy to understand what she's doing. I've always loved to cook but always have this fear that I'm going to mess something up because I have really bad ADHD and I could never stay focused in the kitchen but I watched this video a few times a couple days ago so I could get everything that I need and this is the video I'm going to be playing in the background while I'm cooking this Thanksgiving.

The place where NYT Cooking keeps all the plates to serve the food must be one of the happiest places in the world.

Claire, for me this so interesting. Here in Europe we don’t have Thanksgiving, but I would follow your hints for Christmas. Thank you, I learn a lot

It's basically the same menu!

I have watched Claire for years. She is by FAR one of the best chefs. She hit it out of the park with this video, another sports analogy. Thank you.

Purely incredible. Most recipes from internet chefs never seem to actually work out right, but every single recipe I have tried from Claire has worked and gotten tons of compliments. She's the real deal! I will absolutely be trying the pecan tart because I, too, only enjoy the top part of the pecan pie. This video immediately went into my saved recipes playlist and I'm definitely going to be coming back and referencing it as I do my Thanksgiving prep!

Claire, I can't tell you what a big hit the glazed shallots were at Thanksgiving. How wonderful it is to have a new and different side dish that is also, so easy and fast to make! Thank you!

About halfway through, and even as a seasoned cook, there are countless tips to be savored. Can’t be sure I will make a pumpkin pie, let alone one with pumpkin seeds on top… but caramel apple pie? A simple, guided recipe for pie crust, and how to parbake it? You’re a freaking saint, Claire. Can’t wait to watch the second half and fine tune the rest of my Thanksgiving. Sending up so much gratitude for you. It is really something special that you generously offer this much inside info to your extended worldly family. You clearly just want us to have this delicious fare to come to life on our tables. Giving so much thanks for you. You’ve done good. 💝

One of the things I enjoy most about this video is the detailed scheduling and organization. I always find that to be the most stressful part when you're largely doing it on your own. This will be very helpful!

I think she always does an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating whatever she's making.

I'm happy that Claire is getting the flowers she deserves. She has made a name for herself and works extremely hard! Give it up for Claire Legend in the works!

As someone who has never had to prepare this iconic meal because my husband and I are always traveling, I truly think Claire's step-by-step is such a service! Kudos, NYT Cooking, for another great, helpful video!

Having only ever made French style pastry I find this pie dough technique so interesting. It's like a hybrid between shortcrust and puff pastry, can't wait to try!!

This was honestly so helpful for how you can break out the prep for the day before. Will make the actual day so much more chill.

Thank you. You are so generous with your instructions. I have learned more from you in three years than all the FN shows I've watched, mags read, and cooking classes that I've taken. You are the Superbowl of chefs, recipe developers, and food journalists!! Everything looked 😘

You had me at dots of butter over the dressing. Butter is my love language! Love you, Claire!

I can watch Claire cook all day long. Never gets boring.

Finally!!!! Now i have seen a Chef/cook use whole onions skin on to deepen the color of stock!! I have done that for over 30 yrs based on a great chef i knew advice! He didnt peel any veg for his stocks, cause yhey add SO much flavor and color!edit. If people say brussel sprouts are gross, they had over cooked ones usually. Just steam them, mix w zesty Italian dressit, then eat either warm or cold. I have convinced ppl to live sprouts!

My mom taught me to leave the turkey uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours. You are the first person that I have seen that has ever mentioned that for crispy skin also. It really works. I do the cranberry sauce almost the same except I only use the juice. I'm a little concerned about the pith in the orange peel being bitter or adding bitterness to the cranberry sauce. I would just leave the pith out.

That’s why you add so much sugar and why she stressed not to use less. You can also make sure you use a Valencia orange which tends to be less pithy than a Navel.

Find someone to cook for. I'll bet there's a harried single parent out there or a family that can no longer afford, with inflation, to buy the ingredients. Ask around your neighborhood or pastor, rabbi, & etc. Don't treat it as charity but, rather, doing you a favor--love to cook but no one to cook for.

My 12yr old son tasted some of the cranberry sauce, and he LOVED it!! He’s so excited to eat it tomorrow. Thank you Claire and Sauci!! 🤍

i don’t know what this says about anything, but my cat was absolutely enthralled by this video 😂

This was one of the most enjoyable cooking videos I've EVER seen. I love Claire and her clarity, explanations, and her overall style. I was hooked from start to finish.

I am enjoying this relaxed style of cooking. Its not frantic and high paced which is common! And these dishes are so simple yet tasty looking.

Thank you Claire!!!! I didn’t even feel that the video was long. I was mesmerized by the process and savoring every dish. Wish I could taste through the screen 🤤

Question: Soo, no buttering the pie dishes necessary? Other things I learned: 1) Optimal size of turkey 12lbs 2) How to blind bake the pie crust: use aluminum foil 3) Make your own cranberry sauce … Awesome episode!

All the subtle tips she gives with every dish is just so on point, and make all the difference in every dish.

Awesome video. Claire makes everything so approachable....I love that she is branchingnout beyond baking because I learn so muchfrom her!

Love that you always give tips to keep people from spending money when not absolutely necessary. Great to have gadgets but appreciate the care to people on a budget

I cannot describe how grateful I was to not hear a version of "You just want your breadcrumbs to be really RUSTIC... you know, just TEAR them apart... very RUSTIC" like no babe, I will be cutting them into cubes tysm :)

I was praying someone would do this. And to have it be Claire is the icing on the cake! 🎉❤

A 1 hour and 20 mins long Claire Saffitz Video?! NYT Cooking, you know what you were doing here.

I’ve been a (v.good) home cook for decades and have studied and practiced all along. I am shocked by and grateful for the amount of knowledge I have gained in this one video. Thank you, Claire. You are a natural teacher and a brilliant chef.

I"ve been cooking for more than 50 years and I learned so much from this young chef. She is not only skilled at her craft, but a great teacher! I picked up so many tips. I wish I had seen this before Thanksgiving, but I will bookmark it for next year. Thank you, Claire.

I always wondered what you people ate ❤

Claire just looks so beautiful and happy and you can tell she’s having fun! I love this video! Hearing how she has developed and selected the recipes was so great, especially the ones with history like her moms cranberry sauce and Harris’s brusssles. I will be making the pecan pie for sure!

this is such a comfort video for me. i've watched it so many times, it never gets old.

So WOW! I’ve been a fun-loving and adventurous home chef myself for more than 40 years, and feel I’ve earned my stripes. But this video is the NINES, from your don’t-over-plan attitude to your unique and incredibly helpful techniques. And yes, to us culinary performers - Thanksgiving really is our Super Bowl! As to over-planning, I say, mea culpa … This Thanksgiving, as usual, I’ve over-dreamt - a 5 1/2 lb inflate-and-hang-for-a-day-in-my-shower Peking duck (which I’ve made before), with caramelized fig and orange sauce, hot Chinese pancakes with scallion brushes and organic carrot threads, roasted chestnut and dried cranberry Minnesota wild rice, and an apple and dried fruit crisp. But already the planning is exhausting my culinary mojo and I find I’m procrastinating. You’ve reminded me that the fun and spontaneity of the journey matters! That’s empowering. One point I might make, living here in upper New England, a luxury we often have this time of year is the ability to ‘porch’ our dishes. Whether to instantly-cool our dishes or downright freeze them without warming our fridges and freezers, our porches basically double our food storage capacities. We just need to keep our wildlife away (from squirrels to bears)!

this was WONDERFUL! I haven't been the family host in a while, but I remember the frantic edges - partially because the kitchen is small, the large quantities for 20, jam most of the work into the morning, and who I am. I loved hanging out watching - I just missed the aromas. Love that it was a whole meal, more than dessert. I hope the crew had dinner together.

Where have you been all my life? I am learning so much. You are a great instructor and of the things I have tried - they have come out wonderfully. Happy Holidays Claire!

Well, I have been making delicious pie crust for over 40 years BUT I think you might have just shown me an even better way. THANK YOU!

Outstanding - Claire is such a good teacher, always incorporating learning points into her descriptions.

Jambalaya! I just got this cookbook from my mother-in-law who was clearing out her collection! Def going to try this cranberry sauce this year

oh my god this video is exactly what i needed! thank you so much for this long form video and giving us 1 hour and 20 minutes of joy

Phenomenal instruction by Claire; what a privilege to view and listen to this content! Can't wait to try for Thanksgiving or any holiday, for that matter! Thank you!

Watching this without any intention of making a thanksgiving meal. Go Claire give us everything

she's so pretty. when she was looking at the poofy apple pie all fascinated and confused?? how cute was that?

Just like everyone here I really enjoyed this video. Claire is a natural and gifted teacher. I almost think I could try to make a pie crust.

I had this playing on my phone while jogging on the treadmill. Nothing like exercising to sumptuous cooking videos! LOVE Claire, and loved this video. That pecan frangipane tart? I HAVE to make it. Normally I'm not a big pecan pie person (soggy, often untoasted pecans atop an inch of goo? Hard pass), but I love frangipane and the ratios of the layers in this tart look spot on. Loving the NYT cooking holiday content. Keep it coming!

As an English person who has never celebrated Thanksgiving, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I cannot wait to experience Thanksgiving in America one day but I will definitely be trying my hand at this in the UK too :)

Claire saffitz is one of the most underrated cooks out there. ! I love her so much.

Everything looks amazing and her planning is immaculate! Wow just wow.

Thanks to this I will be making Claire's pumpkin pie, the mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and maybe the shallots too. I will be taking her tips from everything though!

38:20 one of the most satisfying shots I've seen in a long time

The unstuffed "stuffing" a/k/a dressing is a delicious savory bread pudding. Love it!

I can safely say this to me is one of the best things on the internet.. and I don't even celebrate Thanksgiving or live in a country where it's a norm to celebrate it

Bravo! The tone in your voice and the clear ease of your instruction make you a joy to listen and learn from. Thank you.

This is probably the simplest and best thanksgiving dinner I've seen made. I wish I could reach out and grab some food :/
