Cult Flav Is Going Off

We’ve got another first look out today for By Heart, and next week, our big Sift review is going to be out.

We’ll certainly be taking first looks at equipment too and we expect to fold in goofy absolutely rank-type shit, listener questions, and plenty of strong opinions into the mix. We’ll probably do more interviews too, but we want them to be more like the one we did with Sad Papi where we cooked with him IN OUR KITCHEN.

Cooking is the point and we want to lean into that. Less telling, more showing.
Thank you all so much for hanging out with us the last few months. We appreciate all the feedback and how much you played in the space with us while we figured this out.
We're taking questions as always over in the Cult Flav Community: https://cultflav.com/community
👋 Have a great week, we'll see you next Sunday!

📝 Question 4:
“What would you recommend for someone switching from teflon to stainless steel? From what I gathered from your guys’ videos they are all pretty much in line with each other besides small details, the corners and the price point. Recs for first-time buyer?” - Krayrayjay
Bryn thinks carbon steel is a better replacement than stainless steel
Sarah says go with inexpensive like Goldilocks, because stainless steel isn’t differentiated enough to justify spending a bunch of money: https://cultflav.com/products/goldilocks-10-inch-skillet
