Gwyneth Paltrow saved Meryl Streep's Thanksgiving dinner.

The 'Iron Man 3' actress, who celebrated the US holiday in Los Angeles with ex-husband Chris Martin and their children, Apple, 10, and Moses, eight, last Thursday (27.11.14), let the 65-year-old star use her state-of-the-art kitchen in her New York City apartment because Meryl's oven was broken.

Speaking about her cooking disaster, the 'Into The Woods' star said: "I hate my oven! You never hate your oven more than on Thanksgiving Day when it won't cook the turkey."

Meryl immediately contacted her neighbour Gwyneth, who runs her own lifestyle website Goop and has released two cookbooks, and was relieved when she invited her to use her kitchen since she was out of town.

She told 'Live! With Kelly and Michael': "She has the best oven I have ever seen in my life! I did all the sides in her oven and my brother was in charge of the turkey that would not cook. The sides were fantastic."

The Oscar winner brought one of her daughters with her who was "dying" to check out Gwyneth's home.

She said: "They had to draw lots for who went with me, but it's a beautiful beautiful place with the best oven I have ever seen in my life."
