The Short Answer
Move each side out of the oven as it finishes and hold it in a thermally insulated serving dish. That frees the oven for the turkey and holds the sides above 140°F for two full hours, which is the difference between reheating at the last minute and sitting down with everyone else.
Thanksgiving is a scheduling problem wearing a menu. The turkey needs the oven and so do the sides, and the sides lose. Finish them early and hold them at temperature instead.
Bake in the tempered glass insert, drop the insert into the insulated dish, and carry it to the sideboard. One fewer serving bowl to wash, and the oven is free when you need it.

Why Host Modern
Sides finish first and then sit in the way. Hold them above 140°F for two full hours and the oven queue disappears.
Bake in the tempered glass insert, then drop it straight into the insulated dish. Nothing gets moved to a second bowl and nothing goes cold in the handoff.
Potatoes, stuffing, and two casseroles all arrive at serving temperature together, instead of in the order they came out of the oven.
Still above the 140°F USDA food-safety threshold at the two-hour mark — enough to cover the turkey's rest and the carving.
Plus a short series of hosting tips we send to new customers.

One dish for the potatoes, a duo for two sides, or the trio for a full holiday table.
Hold each one in an insulated dish as it comes out of the oven. It keeps food above 140°F for two full hours, which frees the oven for the turkey.
Above 140°F for two full hours in our own tests, from a hot load with the lid on.
Bake in the tempered glass insert, which is rated to 450°F, then drop it into the insulated dish to serve.
Most hosts running a full table use three or four — potatoes, stuffing, and two casseroles. They stack three high for storage.
Yes. Refrigerate in the insert, reheat in it, and serve from the same dish.
Hold the sides, free the oven, and put everything on the table above 140°F at the same time.
