A. Rarely, if ever, do we receive free merchandise from manufacturers or sellers of cookware. We want to be unbiased and impartial in our reviews. Receiving free merchandise hinders that mission. On rare occasions we do accept items from new brands we do not cover yet or from product lines not yet covered to see if there is a brand or product line that we should cover.

Q. Do you cover all of the cookware product lines from the brands you cover?

A. No, we do not cover all the product lines. As much as we might want to, it would not be feasible. Cookware manufacturers are regularly adding and removing product lines according to their needs. We do our best to review the better quality and more popular product lines.
