Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: May 7, 2026
In Plain English
Kitchen Recommends earns money through affiliate links. When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Your support helps us keep this site running and continue producing honest, research-driven kitchen product reviews.
What This Means
This website participates in affiliate programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn commissions by linking to products on third-party retailers. Specifically, Kitchen Recommends is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
When you click on an Amazon product link from our site and make a purchase, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale price as a referral fee. This fee comes out of Amazon’s marketing budget — not from your pocket. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go to Amazon directly.
Our Commitment to Honesty
Affiliate income never determines what we recommend. Here’s what that means in practice:
- We only recommend products we believe offer genuine value to our readers
- We will tell you when a popular product has flaws — even if it costs us a sale
- We sometimes recommend cheaper alternatives over expensive ones, despite the lower commission
- We disclose our affiliate relationships transparently throughout our site
- We do not accept payment from brands or manufacturers in exchange for positive reviews
How We Research Products

Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon Associates, we may participate in other affiliate programs from time to time. We may earn commissions from purchases made through links to retailers including (but not limited to):
- Walmart
- Target
- Best Buy
- Other kitchen-focused retailers
We will always disclose when content contains affiliate links.
Your Trust Matters
The trust of our readers is more valuable to us than any single sale. If you ever feel that a recommendation on this site doesn’t align with our stated values, please contact us — we want to hear from you.
Questions?
