01: Algae Oil | Cult Flav Is Going Off
This week, we've got strong opinions about algae oil, and tangentially seed oils. We answer some listener questions about olive oil, ghee, PAM, and preventing oil splatter while cooking, and round it all off with an introduction to our personal ingredient tastes in the form of a "must-have ingredients" draft.

Soups, Salads, Sandwiches Review: One Week with Matty Matheson's Third Cookbook
Переглядів 11 тис.Місяць тому
Soups, Salads, and Sandwiches is Matty’s third book, and it’s dedicated to us - home cooks. In the intro, he says it’s the best and that it belongs on that special shelf in your kitchen, and specifically he wants this book to be one that you could flip through and cook from every day. Just pick one soup, one salad, and one sandwich and cook a different combination every night. But with a celebr...

Coconut & Sambal is Australian/Indonesian chef Lara Lee’s first cookbook, published all the way back in 2020.

Always Pan Pro Review: Decent Nonstick, Terrible Quality Control
Переглядів 69 тис.8 місяців тому
We've reviewed every single version of Our Place's flagship Always Pan over the past 4 years and this is definitely the best one yet - though it's worth noting that the bar is in hell. That new titanium surface does release food pretty easily, but some confusing design, manufacturing, and marketing decisions hinder what could be a decent pan. Then there's the $200 price point. It's a pass from ...

The History of Khao Soi (feat. Turm Robinson)

Khao soi is amazing and a huge part of that is that it's essentially a canonical fusion dish. It pulls influences from every culture that intersects with it and everywhere it goes, it transforms and becomes something new. We spent a couple months digging into where it came from, where it's gone since, and what makes the dish so special. A few dozen batches later, we came up with our own recipe,...

    I have never subscribed to a channel so fast! Loved loved this first episode. My favorite section was your advice on olive oil. While I quite like the Graza Sizzle Olive Oil (for just the ease of already being in a squeeze bottle tbh) the Drizzle doesn’t have a strong enough flavor to make it a go to for salads or anything like that. Look forward to hearing more from yoru advice segment in future episodes.

    I used to spend a lot more on olive oil until I realized the obvious truth about quality mattering much less when cooking with it so I cook now with the big jug of Kirkland Signature Italian olive oil (which is honestly still more fancy than it needs to be) and use the Carapelli "100% Italian" olive oil for raw applications.

    I have a couple cast iron pans, a trusty ceramic coated paid maybe 40 bucks for it, works like a charm on low heat cooks and my stainless for mid range foods. Paid less for all 3 than the Always Pan, im just not sold on the Hex Clad or this new titanium coating. I think if I had to go to another alloy it would be to try carbon steel, i need a WOK i dont have one so that might be a good candidate for experimentation.. Your video showed me kind of what I had speculated, that the hex finish isnt perfect and just by nature its going to create friction and scarring compared to a smooth material, thats just physics. So their claim metal implements are 100% fine, ya I guess thats what one's definition of "fine" is.. Im sure its banging up that surface if you looked under a microscope.

    Very helpful review! I was surprised you saw the patent marking as a threat. To me, it seemed clearly a design decision, marking with pride the innovation of the product design. Also, I have to disagree with your characterisation of a patent as being meaningless without "the intent to sue to protect it". Yes, patent holders have to be *willing* to protect their inventions, but unless your position is that there should be no legal protection of intellectual property, that willingness is unavoidable.

I think checked your channel before finally subscribing; I am wondering where i saw you cutting board video, since it isn't on your channel? Also, i wanted to know how you monetize your channel. I imagine all the gear becomes quiet expensive.

      @grimlock8369 Same, I was bombarded with ads for this pan and still am.. Personally I would recommend carbon steel pans. They can have extremely high operating temperatures and are durable and a smooth surface. They say these pans are fine to use with metal implements and I dont buy it at all... Thats like trying to say a hex clad surface ball bearing would roll as smooth as a smooth surface bearing.. Its not true and never will be.. The entire nature of the hex clad surface is increased mechanical friction which metal on metal = bad.... Very bad...
