Even celebrity chefs like it Rachael Ray can experience very similar disasters in the kitchen.
Ray, 56, uploaded a cooking video to her TikTok followers on Thursday, January 2, in which she put a handful of ingredients in a food processor.
“Once you put cheese in this mix, it tends to make it white and cloudy and difficult to navigate,” Ray said, banging on the lid of the device. “You know what else is hard to navigate? Sparking a new food processor.”
Ray then called her husband, John Cusimanoto help.
“John is flying out of the director’s chair!” she scoffed. “Okay or not, can you just fix the food processor please? Make it go. ‘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, ran into the food processor and accompanying cord. Ray tried to help, pointing out various ways to fix the situation to no avail.

“This is turning into a party joke: How many people does it take to operate the Cuisinart?” she added. “Did we check it was plugged in?”
While Cusimano was certain that the processor was indeed plugged in, Ray proceeded to check two more times, just “to make sure.”
“There’s no reason this shouldn’t work,” she said with a laugh as Cusimano plugged the processor back into a socket. “Can you believe I have a cooking show?”
After Cusimano finally got the processor working, Ray corrected the buttons he pressed.
“No, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse,” Ray said. “Now, John, take off the lid and add a cup of this.”
Cusimano, however, jokingly lamented the potential removal of the cap when “it took the whole episode” to successfully secure it to the processor.
Ray has been married to Cusimano, who helps run her massive lifestyle empire, since 2005.
“One of the things that, I think, has been fundamental to my life and my success over the years has been the partner that I’ve chosen,” Ray said in a November 2024 episode of her I’ll Sleep When I Die. ” podcast. “I love my husband, John, and (he) works with me and has built our business and our brand together.”
She added at the time, “My husband and I didn’t get married until late in life (at) 37 and 38, but it was very important to me to marry him because I thought this person could be real. partner in what I believe in and helping people.”
Cusimano mostly stays behind the scenes during filming, but occasionally helps Ray in the kitchen. She said Us Weekly Last month how Cusimano “contributes a ton” to holiday meals.
“I always charge him to make the egg 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 an egg. It’s easier than a store-bought egg, but just as delicious.”
