And with only days to go before turkeys hit dinner tables across the country the Test Kitchen chefs have been busy said Jack Bishop chef TV personality and editorial director of America's Test Kitchen.
From a cooking perspective Thanksgiving is the most important week of the year Bishop told Livescience.
8 Fascinating Turkey Facts Still the prospect of cooking a whole turkey should not intimidate chefs Bishop added.
If possible Bishop suggests purchasing a fresh turkey rather than a frozen one. If you're willing to make the investment in time
The salt will change the protein structure within the muscle fibers so the turkey will hold onto more moisture in the cooking process Bishop explained.
Still Bishop cautions that more is not necessarily better and it's important to avoid making the brining solution too salty.
Before placing the turkey in the oven Bishop suggests brushing the raw bird with butter.
and kosher varieties are processed with salt Bishop said. The most important tip for using frozen turkeys is to let the birds thaw in the refrigerator before cooking them he added. 5 Myth-Busting Facts for a Safe Turkey Turkey temperature This year alone the Test Kitchen chefs experimented with more than 100 turkeys
and temperature Bishop said. In the last 20 years Bishop estimates the Test Kitchen has cooked thousands of turkeys.
The tests'results indicated that roasting a turkey at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (roughly 200 degrees Celsius) works best.
But there are some challenging aspects to cooking a turkey Bishop said. For one the shape of the bird complete with a huge cavity in the center means it heats unevenly in the oven.
because it begins to dry out Bishop said. Dark meat on the other hand shouldn't be undercooked because it'll be chewy.
while it's in the oven Bishop said. The Test Kitchen chefs found that basting the bird does not actually improve the juiciness of the turkey.
Instead to brown and crisp up the skin Bishop recommends placing the turkey on a rack that sits inside a roasting pan.
and the juices will run into the breast Bishop said. At the one-hour mark take two wads of paper towel
and serving the turkey Bishop recommends letting the finished product rest for 30 to 40 minutes.
and physically contract Bishop explained. If you start cutting when it's hot from the oven the muscle fibers will expel juices
and all the juices will run onto the carving board. But if you let the meat rest the muscle fibers will hold onto their internal moisture as you carve.
But there's more to a Thanksgiving meal than just a turkey. Here are other tips from Bishop and the Test Kitchen team:
For perfect pie dough just add vodka: The secret to baking a flaky pie crust is to add vodka to the mix Bishop said.
Usually ice water is what brings pie dough together to make it workable but if you skimp on water you end up with a dough that's cracked
and hard to work with Bishop said. So most cooks add extra water which makes the dough easier to work with
but the extra water activates the glutens in the flour. And too much gluten makes the dough tough instead of flaky.
Test Kitchen chefs discovered that the ethanol in vodka helps moisten the dough but it does not activate gluten development.
As such Bishop recommends using half-ice water and half-vodka when making pie dough. And there's no need to worry about boozing up your pie dough.
The alcohol bakes off in the oven so you can't taste it Bishop explained.
 Use a ricer for lump-free mashed potatoes: For fluffy lump-free mashed potatoes Test Kitchen chefs found that a potato ricer is the best tool to use.
so it's easier to work with the cooked potatoes Bishop said. It's pretty cheap
but Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used Bishop said. Cook stuffing separately not inside the turkey:
but it slows down the entire cooking process Bishop said. Stuffing has eggs in it
But in order to get up to that temperature you end up overcooking the bird Bishop said. You don't want to be waiting for the stuffing
however Bishop recommends warming it up before the stuffing goes inside the bird. Â Warming stuffing in the microwave so it's not ice cold will at least give it a head start he said.

The storage room stocked at least 3000 bottles'worth of the intoxicating beverage in massive pottery jars researchers report today (Nov 22) at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research in Baltimore.
The ancient wine bore little resemblance to the Bordeaux and Chianti of today it was preserved
and spiced with resin and herbs including juniper mint and myrtle. The closest modern analogue is a Greek wine flavored with pine resin called retsina study researcher Assaf Yasur-Landau of the University of Haifa told reporters.
If you take retsina and you pour a bit of cough syrup inside I guess you get something quite similar Yasur-Landau said.
The find is important less for the wine's palate and more for what it reveals about the culture of the ancient Canaanites a group that dominated
what is now Israel and Lebanon. See Images of the Oldest Wine cellar Discovery Yasur-Landau
Texts and inscriptions from the era describe herbal wines but this is the first true chemical evidence of their existence.
 Intoxicating discovery The wine storage room is at a site called Tel Kabri in northern Israel where archaeologists are unearthing the remains of a sprawling palace dating back to about 1700 B c. that was built
It may have been this earthquake that crushed the wine storage room leaving toppled jars for archaeologists to uncover.
They estimate that the jars were held in a storage room measuring about 16 feet by 26 feet (5 m by 8 m). Together the 40 jars could have held about 2000 liters (500 gallons) of wine the team said.
7 Amazing Archaeological Finds Wine chemistry At the excavation site Brandeis University researcher Andrew Koh who specializes in archaeological chemistry took shards of the pots
Tartaric and syringic acids both hallmarks of wine proved that the jars indeed held vino.
Resins would have helped preserve the wines. If the ancient wineswere anything like retsina the resins also would have lent a distinctive turpentine flavor to the beverage.
Honey sweetened the wine the researchers found and juniper mint cinnamon bark and other herbs flavored it.
The jars were remarkably consistent in their contents suggesting that winemakers were sticking to a recipe.
The vesselsare plain and without markings or labels to reveal their contents. The storage room is next to a large hall that archaeologists think was used for banquets.
and the wine includes imported ingredients pointing to maritime trade around the Mediterranean. Doors from the storage room may lead to at least one other storage chamber
Texts from the ancient town of Mari Syria describe herbed wines from this time period Yasur-Landau said.
The chemical analysis of the ancient wine continues erhaps in enough detail for creative winemakers to one day recreate this ancient Canaanite brew.
The samples included drinking water and soil from the areas as well as swabs from birds'throats. Twenty samples tested positive for the H7n9 virus all from poultry markets in Shanghai.
#Optical Technique Sorts Grapes for Wine Quality (ISNS) A team of German scientists has developed an automated process that sorts grapes into different levels of quality for winemaking.
The goal of developing the technique is to produce wines that will satisfy refined palates but cost less than current prices.
Different colors correspond to different amounts of sugar in the grapes a basic criterion for their wine-making characteristics.
the grapes for white wines Riesling and Weisser Burgunder and those for the red wines Trollinger and Lemberger.
Our experiments have proven that wine quality has improved obviously due to our sorting said Kai-Uwe Vieth of the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) in Karlsruhe Germany who oversaw
but time-consuming method used by vintners. Its high throughput allows us to harvest and select grapes
And the winemaker determines the quality by setting the appropriate parameters. So the quality does not depend on the person who does the hand-sorting.
Although optical sorting has been used for years in related industries such as the cork industry its application in the wine industry is said pretty new Anita Oberholster a specialist in enology the study of wine
The wines are currently settling and we will start chemical analysis soon she said. The German process uses a special conveying system to load de-stemmed grapes onto a belt that travels past a sorting module.

#Roses, Wine or Chocolate: Weather Controls it All This article was provided by Accuweather. com. With Valentine's day right around the corner everyone is searching for the perfect gift for their loved one.
From roses to chocolate and wine weather plays an important role in production. Roses The biggest weather-related factor in the production of beautiful roses is the temperature.
Wine How romantic it is to share a bottle of fine wine during a candlelit Valentine's dinner.
To produce grapes that will transform into a delicious bottle of wine the grapevines need to grow at a site with good soil drainage full sunlight and soil that is nutrient-poor.
Full sunlight is another important factor to growth of good wine grapes. Sunlight is the biggest part of a plant's photosynthesis process.
That energy then is converted into glucose in the plant by photosynthesis. Glucose is the sugar in the grape that ferments to become alcohol.
Nutrient-poor soil also makes for a good wine grape. The color and flavor that come from a grape are stored mostly in the grape's skin.
A large grape has more juice and less skin. To concentrate the flavor the vine is grown in nutrient-poor soil
A stressed grapevine will produce smaller grapes perfect for making wine according to motherearthnews. com. http://www. motherearthnews. com/Real-Food/2003-04-01/Growing-Grapes
