Discovered my oven has a 'keep warm' setting and it saved my Thanksgiving turkey

Last Thanksgiving at my sister's place in Portland, I finally figured out that the 'keep warm' button on her GE oven isn't just for show. I always pulled the bird out too early and it got cold before we sat down, but last month I set it to 170°F for 45 minutes while the rolls finished baking. Has anyone else missed a simple feature like this and felt like a total idiot afterwards?

Wait, are you serious? I completely forgot my oven even has that button. I always just set it to warm on the dial but never really knew what it was for. So you're saying I could've saved my last few turkeys from getting cold and rubbery while I fought with the gravy? Now I feel like a total dummy. Definitely trying this next week at my mom's place.

It's wild how many hidden shortcuts we just walk past every day because nobody ever told us they were there.
