## **Why You Should Trust Us**

The Commerce Team at Apartment Therapy Media has one mission: to help you make smart and informed purchases. We know how hard online shopping can be — it’s literally our job! From trying to decipher confusing marketing lingo to sorting through scores of fake paid reviews in search of some truth, online shopping can be overwhelming. We’re dedicated to doing the hard work for you by reviewing these products firsthand and delivering all the information you need, both good and bad.

Our team is made up of a group of writers and editors who have years of experience in the home, kitchen, and parenting consumer product space, and who are always testing for new tried-and-true staples. Consider us your trusted source on everything kitchen, whether it’s [what to consider before buying a cast iron pan](https://www.thekitchn.com/best-cast-iron-skillets-23200316), [where to find the best kitchen organizers](https://www.thekitchn.com/where-to-buy-kitchen-organizers-23520141), or [which groceries you should be](https://www.thekitchn.com/features/essential-groceries) stocking up on.

## **How We Test Products for The Kitchn**

As experts in the home and kitchen space, we put products to the test right where they matter: at home. Whether it’s the kitchen appliance on everyone’s wish list or smart organizing finds, we bring these products into our personal spaces and test them for weeks and even months at a time to see how well they live up to their claims. Will that little gadget really make meal prep easier? Does that buzzy bottle of olive oil deserve a spot in your pantry? Can that new cleaning spray wipe out spills and stains like it claims?  We’ll let you know.

Within each of our reviews, we also break down the different ways that we critique products. In some cases, we’re testing products head-to-head on things like price, ease of use, and durability. In others, we’re comparing new products to personal favorites or ones we’ve tested in the past. No matter what, we’ll always break down the ins and outs of a product. At the end of the day, we’re consumers too, so we’ll provide you with all the information we’d want — and then some.

## **How We Make Money**

When you shop our articles, we may receive an affiliate commission on some — but not all — of the products we recommend. This, however, **does not** influence which products our writers and editors choose to feature in stories. We only ever recommend products that we have thoroughly and carefully researched to ensure we provide you with the best of the best. Occasionally, brands and PR agencies will send us products for consideration, but as with any product we put to the test, our reviews of these products remain thorough and unbiased. We never accept a product in exchange for coverage or a positive review. If we’re unhappy with a product and don’t stand by it, we will not recommend it.

## **Our Shopping Series**

**Kitchn Essentials**

In this series, you’ll find a comprehensive list of our tested, tried, and true favorite products. Whether it’s [the tools you should be using in the kitchen](https://www.thekitchn.com/features/essential-tools) or t [he grocery items you’re going to want to stock up on](https://www.thekitchn.com/features/essential-groceries), here you’ll discover everything we deem essential to a happy kitchen setup.

**The (TEST) Kitchn**

There’s _a lot_ of delicious food out there and we’re on a mission to try it all. In The Test Kitchen, our team tests the newest groceries, snack, and drinks and share our honest opinons.

**Weird or Worth It?**

Have you ever scrolled through social media, seen a product, and thought, “Who would buy that?” In Weird or Worth It?, we test these unique gadgets and answer the question as towhether it’s just weird or worth buying.

**What’s Your Problem?**

In What’s Your Problem?, we’ll help  solve your biggest kitchen conundrums. Whether you need the best solution for cleaning cast iron or can’t get rid of that odor in your drain, tell us what your problem is and our experts will recommend just the right product to sort it out.

**Splurge vs. Save**

There’s a wide range of kitchen products out there in an even wider range of price points. But should you spend top dollar in your quest for the best? We’ve tested items for just about every budget, and in this series we compare one pricey pick against a more wallet-friendly version to help you decide which one best suits your lifestyle.

**The Best Places to Buy. . .**

Shopping is one thing, but knowing where to shop? That’s where the real power lies. Whether you’re searching for your next great spice source or the best places to buy affordable cast iron cookware, this series will provide you with all of our favorite retailers — both budget and luxury.
