Why You Should Trust Us
The products covered on FoodNetwork.com are chosen completely independently by our editors without any outside influence. Our editors do not accept products in exchange for a positive review or promised coverage. We make clear which products we've tested following a rigorous evaluation process and which we've simply tried in our everyday lives. We only recommend products we truly believe are worthy of a spot in our fans' homes.
While we do publish sponsored content, it is clearly labeled on our site and our editorial team is not involved in that content creation.
How Food Network Tests and Reviews Products
At Food Network, we believe the best method for testing products is based on how our fans are going to use them in the real world. In each of our Tested and Reviewed stories, products are not tested in sterile laboratory settings that don't mimic real life. Instead, we test products in real home kitchens that reflect our readers real lives, which can also include pets, kids, partners and more. We follow rigorous testing rubrics designed by our expert editors and take copious notes during the testing process. We evaluate real-world use cases like how well an air fryer crisps fries, how much liquid a juicer gets out of a lemon, and how quickly a stand mixer mixes egg whites to stiff peaks.
When choosing our top picks, we evaluate all of our testing data and take into consideration many factors including ease of use, price, product availability and practicality. Our goal is to choose the best products for our fans.
