Even with a well-orchestrated plan, Thanksgiving hardly ever goes off without a hitch. Either the mashed potatoes are frigid by the time everyone finally sits down to eat, the gravy is too thin, or, heaven forbid, the stuffing is underseasoned.But perhaps the most troubling part of any Thanksgiving celebration — aside from making sure relatives get along — is cooking the turkey. Finding the perfect balance between juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside always proves to be a struggle. And getting a heavy roasting pan in and out of the oven can quickly turn into a workout.Roasting pans, while practical for roasting a large bird to feed a crowd, are incredibly bulky. Plus, they aren’t cheap (our top pick is about $150), and they’re usually left untouched for the majority of the calendar year, at least in my household. And don’t even get me started on disposable aluminum roasting pans that easily cave in from the weight of a hefty bird.A Bundt pan, on the other hand, is an extremely effective alternative for roasting a small turkey (think 10 to 12 pounds). Propping it up on the pan helps maximize airflow, allowing the hot air to reach all sides of the exposed bird for even crispier results, and the deep structure of the pan is the perfect container to collect juices.Plus, a Bundt pan is a much more versatile addition to your kitchen. For example, you can make cakes, gelatin-based desserts, monkey bread, and more. It also takes up less room than a large roasting pan in already-cramped cupboards.
