Hey, I’m Chef Hamid. Before you scroll down and think “Oh great, another boring legal page,” let me be direct with you:
This page exists for one reason — to keep you safe. Not to hide behind corporate language. Not to avoid responsibility. But because I genuinely care that when you use one of my recipes, you have the best possible experience. And that means being honest about what I know, what I don’t know, and where your common sense needs to take over.
So let’s skip the “legalese” and just… talk.
1. I’m an Educator and Food Analyst, Not a Doctor
Look, I can explain why the Maillard reaction creates umami, or how chickpeas satisfy your hunger longer than white bread. I can cite nutritional concepts. I can tell you that fiber slows digestion and protein triggers satiety hormones.
But I cannot tell you whether THIS recipe is right FOR YOU.
Every body is different. Your genetics, your current health, your medications, your activity level — these all matter WAY more than any recipe. If you are managing any of the following, please consult a medical professional:
- Diabetes or blood sugar concerns → Talk to your doctor before changing your diet.
- Heart disease or high blood pressure → Your cardiologist needs to know your sodium/fat intake.
- Kidney disease → Your nephrologist should review nutrition changes.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding → Your OB-GYN should be involved.
- Medication interactions → Ask your pharmacist if certain ingredients interfere with your prescription.
I can give you recipes and explain the culinary chemistry, but your doctor has information about YOU that I will never have. Use that advantage.
2. Every Health Claim Comes With a Caveat
When I write something like: “Chickpeas deliver 18g of protein per cup, supporting satiety and muscle recovery…” What I mean is: This is nutritionally true — but whether YOUR body will experience these exact benefits depends on hundreds of factors outside this recipe.
The same applies to any mentions of:
- Improving insulin sensitivity
- Reducing inflammation
- Supporting weight management
- Boosting metabolism
All of these notes are based on standard nutritional concepts. They are also affected by your individual genetics, overall diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and health status. The simple truth: This recipe can be part of a healthy lifestyle. But it’s not medicine. It’s food.
3. Food Safety — This Is Non-Negotiable
I test every single recipe myself. Multiple times. In different air fryers, with different brands of butter, and under different kitchen conditions. I know what I’m doing in the kitchen, but you need to know what you are doing in your kitchen too.
Internal Temperature = Your Safety Net
When I say “cook chicken to 165°F,” this is not a suggestion. This is the USDA food safety standard that kills harmful bacteria like Salmonella. Use a meat thermometer. Seriously. Not “it looks white inside,” and not “it’s been cooking for 25 minutes.”
These standards are non-negotiable:
- Poultry (Chicken, Turkey, Duck): 165°F (74°C) — Check the thickest part away from bone.
- Ground Meat: 160°F (71°C) — The inside of the patty, not the edge.
- Whole Muscle Meats (Steaks, Roasts): 145°F (63°C) — Follow proper resting times.
- Fish & Seafood: 145°F (63°C) — Should be opaque and flake easily.
If you are cooking for young children (under 5), elderly people (over 65), pregnant women, or individuals with compromised immune systems, temperature standards are absolutely flexible.
4. Your Equipment Matters More Than My Recipe
I test my air fryer recipes across multiple popular models (like Cosori, Ninja Foodi, and Instant Pot Vortex). They all have slightly different heating patterns. YOUR equipment might heat differently. Results vary because:
- Air fryer models have different wattages (1200W vs 1600W alter cooking speeds).
- Humidity and kitchen temperature affect moisture evaporation.
- Altitude affects boiling points (cooking at high altitudes is different than at sea level).
Always use my timings as a guideline. Start checking your food at the minimum time indicated, use your thermometer, and adjust accordingly.
5. Allergies & Ingredient Safety
I make an effort to highlight common allergens. However, you must read every single ingredient label yourself. Do not assume.
Cross-contamination happens in manufacturing facilities. If you have a serious allergy, please check the labels on your specific retail brands for allergen warnings. I am not responsible for any adverse reactions; you know your allergies best.
6. About Nutritional Data Estimates
Those nutrition boxes generated on our recipes are estimates. They are calculated using online culinary databases (via WordPress Recipe Maker software) based on standard USDA averages.
Your actual numbers may vary by 10-15% based on brand variations, cooking loss, and any ingredient substitutions you make. If you require strict nutritional tracking for medical reasons, please use a verified platform or consult a registered dietitian.
7. Affiliate Links & Financial Disclosure
To keep this blog running, some of the links on Homely Recipe are affiliate links (such as the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program). If you click on these links and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
I only recommend equipment, ingredients, and kitchen tools (like the Instant Pot Vortex or specific meat thermometers) that I personally use, test, and trust.
8. What We Are Not Liable For
While I take responsibility for testing recipes thoroughly and explaining methods clearly, I am not liable for:
- Injuries resulting from improper use of kitchen equipment or sharp tools.
- Foodborne illnesses caused by a failure to check safe internal temperatures.
- Allergic reactions due to unverified ingredient labels.
- Failed outcomes resulting from significant structural modifications to the recipe.
