Wet patches? Dust with 1 more tsp cornstarch. Wash hands 20 seconds after raw chicken.有湿处再撒1小匙淀粉。碰生鸡后洗手20秒。

Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪，怎么补救
If below the target, keep cooking in 2-minute increments and measure again; clean the thermometer before checking cooked food.温度未达标时，每次继续加热2分钟再测；测熟食前先清洁探针。

Know your ingredients认识食材
Ingredients explained食材讲解
Chicken鸡肉Thighs stay juicy and forgiving; breasts are leanest. Look for pink, firm meat with no sour smell.鸡腿肉嫩不易柴，鸡胸最低脂。选粉色、紧实、无异味的。
Cornstarch玉米淀粉Thickens sauces glossy and crisps coatings. Mix with cold water first to avoid lumps.玉米淀粉让酱汁浓稠发亮、裹粉更脆。先用冷水调开防结块。
Eggs鸡蛋Cheap complete protein. Older eggs peel easier; room-temp eggs bake and whip better.便宜的完全蛋白。放几天的蛋好剥壳；回温的蛋烘焙打发更好。
Pineapple菠萝Ripe pineapple smells sweet at the base and a center leaf pulls out easily. Canned works for baking.熟菠萝底部有甜香、中间叶子容易拔出。烘焙可用罐头。
Bell pepper彩椒More vitamin C than an orange (red ones most). Glossy, firm, heavy.维C比橙子还多（红椒最高）。选光亮、硬实、压手的。
Onion洋葱Flavor base of most savory cooking. Yellow for cooking, red raw. Firm, dry skins = fresh.咸味菜的底味。黄洋葱做菜，紫洋葱生吃。外皮干、紧实为新鲜。
Ketchup番茄酱Sweet-tangy tomato condiment; also a handy base for glazes and quick BBQ sauce.酸甜番茄酱；也可做烤肉酱和刷酱的底料。

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议
Balanced plate: ½ vegetables (roasted broccoli, green salad), ¼ this protein, ¼ starch (sweet potato, rice or bread).均衡一盘：½蔬菜（烤西兰花、绿叶沙拉）、¼这道蛋白、¼主食（红薯、米饭或面包）。
Why it works: aim for half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains or starch — then let one rich dish be the star.搭配思路：半盘蔬菜、四分之一蛋白、四分之一主食；一桌里只让一道浓郁的菜当主角。
