Even celebrity chefs like it Rachael Ray can survive too related mishaps in the kitchen.
Ray, 56, uploaded a cooking video for her TikTok followers on Thursday, January 2, in which she posted a handful of ingredients in a food processor.
“Once you put the cheese in that mixture, it goes white and cloudy and hard to navigate,” Ray said, fiddling with the lid of the device. “You know what else is hard to navigate? I’m turning on a new food processor.
Then Ray called her husband, John Cusimanofor assistance.
“John flies in from the director’s chair!” she joked. “Mic or not, can you just fix the food processor, please? Do it. “Make it go”, that’s my broken English way of saying, “Please make it work”. Let’s see how long it takes John to figure it out.
The video then sped up as Cusimano, 57, played with the food processor and its cord. Ray tried to help by pointing out various ways to remedy the situation, but to no avail.

“It’s becoming a party joke: How many people does it take to make a Cuisinart work?” she added. “Did we even check if it was on?”
While Cusimano was sure the CPU was indeed on, Ray proceeded to double-check just “to be sure.”
“There’s no reason this shouldn’t work,” she said with a laugh after Cusimano plugged the processor back into the socket. “Can you believe I have a cooking show?”
After Cusimano finally got the processor working, Ray adjusted the buttons he was pressing.
“No, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse,” Ray said. “Now, John, remove the lid and add a glass of this.”
However, Cusimano jokingly complained about potentially removing the cover when it “took (him) the whole episode” to successfully attach it to the CPU.
Ray was married to Cusimanowho has been helping to run her vast empire since 2005.
“One of the things that I think has been essential to my life and my success over the years has been the partner I’ve chosen,” Ray gushed in the November 2024 episode. her “I’ll Sleep When I Die” podcast.. “I love my husband John and (he) works with me and we’ve built our business and our brand together.”
At the time, she added: “My husband and I didn’t get married until we were very late (at) 37 and 38, but it was very important to me to marry him because I thought this man could be a real partner in what I believe in and helping people.”
Cusimano mostly stays behind the scenes during filming, but sometimes helps Ray in the kitchen. she said Us Weekly last month how Cusimano “contributes a lot” to holiday meals.
“I always have him make scrambled eggs from scratch,” Ray exclusively said us in December 2024 “He has a killer recipe where he froths skim milk and then stirs in cardamom, cinnamon, rum and egg. It’s lighter than store-bought eggnog, but just as delicious.”
