How we research

Specifications first
Materials, dimensions, capacity, weight, heat limits and construction come from the manufacturer’s own listing and documentation.
Gaps are stated, not filled
Where a maker does not publish a figure, we say it is not listed rather than estimating it. A number nobody published is not a number we will print.
Claims are checked
Safety and performance points are checked against bodies such as the FDA, NSF, ASTM and the CPSC, and cited where they matter.
We do not buy, cook with or lab-test the products we write about, and we will never tell you we did.
