At some point, we’ve all been tasked with the thankless Thanksgiving job of holding a casserole dish overflowing with piping-hot buttery potatoes on our laps while speeding down the highway over the hills and through the woods to Grandmother’s house. And how about getting all those leftovers home after Thanksgiving dinner? While Auntie May’s pumpkin pie may seem perfectly pleasant perched atop a lace doily on the dining-room table, it can become a dangerous projectile if not secured properly in the car.
To help you and your family out this Thanksgiving, I selflessly volunteered to indulge in some early holiday grub and experiment to find the best techniques to safely and cleanly transport your Thanksgiving feast faves in the car.
Analysis:
While this article is nearly ten years old, the information is still very much relevant to any holiday today. I found it intriguing that this article talked about how to secure specific dishes, dishes that are often brought to holiday family/friend gatherings. I especially liked some of the solutions used to provide safety to delicate dishes that are also temperature-sensitive. This article reminded me not only to consider other things like food dishes that are being carried in the trunk of people’s cars but also to try to find solutions that will be applicable for years to come.
