The Food Network app is a solid, high-quality alternative to the 'brain rot' of unboxing videos or mindless scrolling. It’s essentially the same experience as having the channel on your TV, but with the added bonus of being able to binge entire seasons of Beat Bobby Flay on demand.
The real value here isn't just entertainment; it's the bridge to the real world. This is one of the few apps where 'screen time' can directly lead to 'kitchen time.' If your kid gets hooked on a cooking show, use that momentum to let them crack some eggs or measure the flour for a weekend project.
