Use a chef’s knife and a paring knife to achieve classic knife cuts
For these cuts, the video recommends having at least two good knives: a chef’s knife and a paring knife.
The transcript notes that achieving these cuts requires excellent knives, specifically at least a chef’s knife and a paring knife.
The short version
- Chef’s knife for most cuts; paring knife for detailed shaping (e.g., tournée)
Why it works
Different knife shapes suit different tasks: a chef’s knife for straight slicing/dicing and a paring knife for in-hand shaping.

Use the oven as an alternative to an air fryer for finishing the pizza
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can finish cooking the topped pizza in the oven instead.

Use the small feed-tube drip hole for slow, controlled liquid addition
If your food processor pusher has a small hole, use it to add liquids slowly (e.g., for dressings) while processing.
Use the correct pusher size so the ingredient fits the feed tube (and pushes safely)
Choose the feed tube insert and matching pusher that fits your ingredient so it feeds straight and your hands stay away from the disc.
