Last Friday, my neighbor Marco invited me over for a movie night. He said, “I’m making my famous cheese sticks.” I’m thinking, famous? This guy microwaves pizza. So I watch him. He uses a thermometer, waits patiently until it hits 165°F, and pulls them out. The cheese stretched seven inches before it broke. Everyone cheered.
I told him afterward, “You’re a legend.” He just shrugged and said, “It’s just science, man.” But it’s not just science—it’s love. It’s caring enough to get it right. So next time you fry a batch, don’t guess. Aim for 165°F. Your taste buds, your stomach, and your friends will thank you.
Now go preheat that oil. And maybe grab a napkin. You’re gonna need it.
