Use a flat-edged wooden spatula to move and scrape food in a sauté pan
Choose a wooden spatula with a flat edge (optionally with a slight angle) to push, flip, and scrape the pan effectively while sautéing.
A flat edge helps you get under food and scrape the bottom of a sauté pan as you move ingredients around. An angled edge can make it easier to work the pan surface.
The short version
- Prioritize a flat edge for sauté pans.
- An angled wooden spatula can help maneuver food more easily.
What you need
- wooden spatulaLook for a flat edge; angled edge is a plus
What goes wrong

Why it works

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.
