This might be completely bonkers, but what do you think about doing broccoli/cauliflower in the bread machine or crockpot? I'm also in charge of roasted veg this year, but I'd really like to pull the turkey out of the oven and skedaddle over to my mom's with it instead of waiting another half hour for the vegetables to roast. What do you think? I don't think they'd roast very well - you need more pan contact. They'd steam, for sure, but it doesn't sound like that's what you're after. Why not roast ahead of time, then reheat over at your mom's, while everyone's having their pre-dinner drinks and appetizers? PJH
