Use an instant-read thermometer to hit doneness accurately
An instant-read thermometer helps you cook safely while avoiding overcooking.
The video recommends getting an instant-read thermometer so you can measure internal temperature and hit targets like 165°F for chicken without drying it out. It frames this as a key tool for improving results and safety.
The short version
- Use a thermometer instead of guessing doneness
- Helps keep chicken juicy while still safe
What you need
- instant-read thermometer
Why it works
Measuring internal temperature removes guesswork, improving repeatability and preventing both under- and overcooking.

Use the oven as an alternative to an air fryer for finishing the pizza

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.
