About Sunday Stove
Sunday Stove tells you which kitchen gear to buy and which to leave on the shelf. One idea runs through every guide: a pan that needs replacing in a year isn't a good buy, even when it's cheap.
Who's behind it
I'm Nell Harlan. It's not the name on my driver's license, but it's the one on every guide here.
Sunday Stove is independent. No brand owns it, no brand pays to be in a guide, and nothing here is sponsored.
What I look at
Going through every option takes a long time. That's the part I do, so you can skip straight to the answer.
I start with how well something does its job. Then I look at two things that matter just as much once it's in your kitchen: whether it's safe to use, and how long it will last. A coating that starts to flake after a few months is enough for me to leave a pan out, however well it cooks.
What every guide gives you
A clear first pick, said plainly. A few alternatives if your budget or your kitchen is different. And under every product, a “Skip it if” box that tells you who it's not for, because a great stand mixer is still the wrong buy if you bake twice a year.
Who it's for
If you'd rather pay once for something good, you're in the right place. If you mostly want the lowest price, that's a fair way to shop too, it's just not what this site is built around.
Updates and prices
Models change and better ones come out. When that happens, I update the guide and the date under its title. Prices come from Amazon and show when they were checked (more on prices).
How I'm paid
When you buy through an Amazon link here, I earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra, it's the only money the site makes, and it never decides which product I recommend. As an Amazon Associate, Sunday Stove earns from qualifying purchases. The affiliate disclosure has the details.
