Advertising Disclosure

Don’t Sell My Personal Information

The information contained on this website (including, but not limited to: the reviews, lists, order of appearance, placements, positions, evaluations, comparisons, and links) are paid-for promotional and sponsored advertising content. This website is compensated by the companies advertised on this website when a user clinks on the links and/or makes a purchase from an advertising partner (listed here).

Premium placements throughout our site and advertising are sometimes made available to our advertising partners. Advertising partners can influence their order and ranking on our website, including where they appear on the page. The order in which a partner appears, or their position may be influenced by their historic performance and/or commission. Partner’s rank, order, and placement are all subject to change.

However, all reviews are generated in accordance with our process which can be found here. Our process involves research, analysis, and review of publicly available information as well as hands-on experience, if available.

While we make every effort to produce and display the most accurate information on our site, the fast-moving nature of online information means newer information sometimes becomes available. Whenever we find new information, we will quickly update our site to ensure its as current as possible. If you have any questions whatsoever while reviewing our site and its content, please feel free to contact us: [email protected]

Any links clicked on our site may result in us receiving compensation from the advertising partner.

Free Products
For some reviews we received a free sample product to aid in the writing of the review.

Please note that although we may receive a product, that does not necessarily mean we will write a review or that we will write a favorable review. We do try to work with brands and products that are the best in their respective category, which helps us to not have to write overly negative reviews.

Our Partners
A majority of the links to products on our site are “affiliate links,” meaning that purchases made after those links are clicked will provide us with a commission, which is how we are able to continue writing reviews.

Not every company listed on our site will provide a commission. That said, the companies that provide us a commission and are therefore our advertising partners are (in no particular order):

Hexclad

Caraway

Cuisinart

Greenpan

Made In

Imarku

Our Place

Cristel

BEHIND OUR RATINGS

The Cookware Authority Methodology

Here’s a look at how we approach every cookware review and ranking:

It Begins with Research

It Begins with Research

Before we even look at specific cookware brands or products, we conduct extensive research to determine the criteria we should be using as we evaluate every pot and pan.

Armed with our criteria, we compile a list of the products that most closely match up, and begin a review of each, noting details like materials, price, customer reviews and more.

Our favorite part: The testing phase. We task our team of experts with trying out each product we review, assessing how it performs and how it compares to the others on our list.
