We believe in transparency. Some pages on DishesMadeEasy.com contain affiliate links to products and services we use, love, or genuinely recommend. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our free recipes and testing.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks referrals from our site to a retailer or service. If you buy something after clicking, the retailer may pay us a commission for the referral. Your price is the same (and sometimes lower if a discount is offered).
How we choose products
- Relevance: We recommend items that are relevant to the recipe or technique (e.g., pans, thermometers, storage containers, pantry staples).
- Experience: Priority is given to products we personally use or have tested. When that isn’t possible, we rely on rigorous research and community feedback.
- Value & availability: We consider performance, durability, and availability across regions when making recommendations.
Editorial integrity
- Independence: Our editorial opinions are our own. Affiliate relationships do not influence which recipes we publish or our opinions about products.
- Honesty: If a product underperforms, we won’t recommend it. If an alternative is better, we say so.
Pricing & availability
Retailer pricing and availability can change quickly. We do our best to keep information current, but the price and stock status you see on a retailer’s site is the final authority.
Sponsored content & gifts
- Sponsored content: If we are paid to create content about a product or brand, that content will be clearly identified as sponsored.
- Samples & gifts: If we receive a product for review, we will only feature it if it meets our standards. Acceptance of a sample does not guarantee coverage or a positive mention.
Advertising vs. affiliate links
We sometimes display advertisements provided by third-party ad partners. Ads are separate from our editorial content and do not affect our affiliate recommendations. You may see ads even if there are no affiliate links on the page.
Your choice matters
You are never obligated to click on an affiliate link. If you prefer, you can go directly to the retailer’s website without using our links.
Disclosure on posts
Where a post includes affiliate links, we include a brief disclosure near the top of the page, such as:
Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
