If your gravy is bland, the top advice is to add a dash of soy sauce.

The hack is even approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry who say that  the monosodium glutamate in the soy sauce brings out the meaty flavour of your roast dinner. 

The best way to keep gravy warm during the meal so you can go back for seconds is to pre-heat a Thermos flask by filling it with hot water, it’s said.

You then empty the flash and pour in the hot gravy, which you can then dip into if you need more on your plate, according to the team at Oven Pride, an oven cleaning product. 

These aren’t the only Christmas dinner hacks that will make sure you tuck into a delicious feast on December 25.

Jamie Oliver recommends squash roast potatoes just before they finish cooking, as it apparently makes them even crispier.
