• Stocking a Kitchen From Scratch, Cutting Boards, Ice Cream (feat. Mei Liao)

  This week, we’re talking to our friend Mei Liao who runs one of our favorite channels, @daywithmei. She recently made a cross-country move and has started rebuilding her kitchen equipment collection as both an avid home cook AND a food content creator.Then Mei joins us in answering a listener question about wooden cutting boards, but let’s be honest, Bryn commandeers that question and barfs out a bunch of facts without answering it... (Sorry! Clearer answer below 👇 — Bryn)And then we round the episode out with an ice cream ranking in a booth at Mamahuhu in San Francisco. Mei was even kind enough to bring in some new flavor combinations that she’s testing out. 👋 Get InvolvedSubscribe to Cult Flav (starts at $20/yr): https://cultflav.com/communityAsk a question: https://cultflav.com/community/going-off or call 424-419-3528. 🍿 SnackBonBon Fish Candy: https://bonbonnyc.com/collections/bonbons-originalsSour Blackberry was our favorite flavorSour Peach was a close secondKolsvart continues to have the best texture: https://www.kolsvart.com 🍦 Follow MeiWebsite: https://www.daywithmei.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daywithmei/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daywithmeiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@daywithmei 📝 Things Mentioned (in order of appearance)Example of restaurant supply table tops (not the exact one that Mei has): https://www.webstaurantstore.com/regency-30-x-60-wood-top-work-table-with-galvanized-base-and-adjustable-undershelf/600TW3060G.htmlOxenforge Wok: https://cultflav.com/products/oxenforge-hand-hammered-wokDeli Containers: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/search/deli-containers.htmlBryn’s favorite deli containers: http://reditainer.comMannKitchen Pepper Canon: https://mannkitchen.com/products/the-original-pepper-cannon-pepper-millUnicorn Pepper Grinder: https://www.unicornmills.org/magnum.htmlPeugeot Pepper Grinder: https://us.peugeot-saveurs.com/en_us/Cuisinart ICE21 Ice Cream Maker: https://www.cuisinart.com/frozen-yogurt---ice-cream-sorbet-maker/ICE-21P1.htmlWhynter Compressor Ice Cream Maker: https://www.whynter.com/product/no-pre-freezing-automatic-compressor-2-1-qt-ice-cream-maker-stainless-steel-icm-200ls/Immersion Blenders: https://cultflav.com/products/vitamix-immersion-blenderTatung Rice Cooker: https://us.tatung.com/Product/1-Tatung Multi-Functional CookerZojirushi Rice Cooker: https://www.zojirushi.com/app/category/rice-cookersAroma Rice Cooker: https://www.aromaco.com/category/rice-cookers-multicookers/rice-grain-cookers/ 👋 Questions“Is it better to have one big wooden cutting board, or should you have multiple for different tasks?” - SilasMei suggests shelf liners to add more grip: https://www.homedepot.com/b/Kitchen-Kitchen-Storage-Organization-Shelf-Liners-Drawer-Liners/N-5yc1vZc3xhSheet pans for food prep: https://cultflav.com/products/winco-eighth-sheet-panWood: 👍 can sequester bacteria 👍 gentle on knives 👍 doesn't create more plastic 👎 handwash-only, occasional oiling. Plastic: 👍 sanitizable in a home dishwasher (though some boards can warp) 👍 soft ones (such as LDPE) are gentle on knives (but not dishwasher-friendly). 🤷‍♂️ bioavailable microplastics unlikely(?)Glass/Steel👍 Easy to confirm sanitization👎 Prone to causing injury due to knife slippage👎 Causes way more knife damage/wear than plastic/wood 🍨 Ice Cream Ranked Mentions📝 We had to do some fancy processing on the audio to reduce background noise between street sounds and the opening team setting up for the day.
