Even famous chefs like it Rachael Ray may experience an all-too-relatable mishap in the kitchen.
Ray, 56, recorded 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 cheese in this mixture, it tends to turn white and cloudy and hard to navigate,” Ray said, fiddling with the lid of the device. “You know what else is difficult to navigate? I’m turning on the new food processor.”
Ray then called her husband, John Cusimanohelp.
“John flies in from the director’s chair!” she joked. “Micro or not, can you please fix the food processor?” Let it go. ‘Make it go,’ is my broken English way of saying, ‘Please make it work.’ We’ll see how long it takes John to figure it out.’
The video then sped up as Cusimano, 57, fiddled with the food processor and the attached cable. Ray tried to help, pointing out different ways to fix the situation, but to no avail.

“This is turning into a party joke: How many people does it take to make a Cuisinart work?” she added. “Did we even check to see if it’s plugged in?”
While Cusimano was certain that the processor was indeed engaged, Ray continued to check twice more, “just to be sure.”
“There’s no reason it shouldn’t work,” she said with a laugh after Cusimano plugged the processor back into the socket. “Do you believe I have a cooking show?”
Once Cusimano finally got the processor working, Ray fixed the buttons he had pressed.
“No, pulse, pulse, pulse, pulse,” Ray said. “Now, John, remove the lid and add a cup of this.
However, Cusimano jokingly lamented the potential removal of the lid when “it took (him) the whole episode” to successfully secure it on the CPU.
Ray was married to Cusimanowhich since 2005 has been helping to run his vast lifestyle empire.
“One of the things that I think has been critical to my life and my success over the years has been the partner I’ve chosen,” Ray said in the November 2024 episode. her “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” podcast.. “I love my husband John and (he) works with me and together they have built our business and our brand.”
She added at the time: “My husband and I didn’t get married until very late (at 37 and 38), but it was very important to me to marry him because I thought this person could be a 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 he said My Weekly last month how Cusimano “contributes a ton” to holiday meals.
“I always commission him to make eggnog from scratch,” Ray exclusively said Our in December 2024. “It has a killer recipe where it froths skim milk and then stirs in cardamom, cinnamon, rum and eggs. It’s lighter than store-bought eggnog, but just as delicious.”
