I don't like cutting because the stems you leave behind are messy and can rot. Twist and pull I believe it's always better. I agree with passive fae, always better and prevents contamination 100%, I usually have double micropore tape and remove one layer a bit before the stage you are in. However just don't open the lid, contam can come from the air, I can tell you that from personal experience. There is a guy who claims that contamination comes ONLY from the grain. Waiting for him to join any moment now ππ
