CSI, Thanksgiving, and You
Thanksgiving is a special holiday for many in the United States. It connects us to the pilgrims who settled in America, allows us to catch up with family, and provides a way for us to show gratitude for the wonderful things we’ve been blessed with. Another staple of Thanksgiving is the (usually overkill) feast families share together. But did you know, from the turkey in the oven to the last-minute microwaved potatoes, Critical Systems, inc. (CSI) plays a small but critical role in making your Thanksgiving dinner a success?
How so, you might ask. If you use any modern cooking equipment, chances are it has electronics such as silicon chips, microprocessors, and various technological hardware. These are crucial to the cooking process. Temperature control, cooking modes, timers, safety features, and even Wi-Fi-enabled smart ovens all require processors and computer programs to function. These would not exist without the part CSI plays in their production.
Critical Systems, inc. supplies the safety equipment necessary to process the gases and chemicals used in microprocessor production. Be it in the form of our Gas Cabinets or chemical extraction, CSI helps chip producers create the tech necessary for your cooking needs. It’s astounding how ingrained computer processing is in our everyday lives. I, for one, am grateful we are blessed with the technology to make our lives easier, even if it doesn’t reflect in our cooking skills.
So, this year, when you’re in the middle of an intense battle carving the turkey or trying to get the gravy smooth, take a moment for a little thank you for all the manual work you don’t have to do for your Thanksgiving feast. And before I leave off, here are a few of my tips for Thanksgiving:
Wet brine your turkey for 24-48 hours in a 2:3 ratio of salt to sugar.
Stuff your turkey with your stuffing. You’ll want to make sure it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baste your turkey every 30 minutes in a mixture of the turkey drippings and butter.
Want whatever you are making to feel more thanksgiving-y? Add some rosemary.
Best of luck to all you cooks out there this Thanksgiving!
