# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero actual cooking required, which means you stay relaxed and can actually enjoy the game with everyone else.
  • Everyone finds exactly what they want because the variety means no one's left picking around food they don't like.
  • It looks impressive and intentional even though you threw it together in about 20 minutes flat.
02 -
  • Don't cut or prepare anything more than an hour ahead because carrots get floppy and pretzels lose their texture as they sit.
  • Keep the dips in a cool place or place the dip bowls in a shallow pan of ice water during the game so they stay at the right temperature and consistency.
03 -
  • Invest in a decent wooden board—it makes everything look better and becomes a tool you'll use constantly once you have it.
  • Warm your dips slightly in small serving bowls before the game starts so they have better flavor and consistency, then use shallow ice bowls underneath to keep them cool without letting condensation drip everywhere.
