Disclosure

As of October 2026, nobody pays me anything for what’s on this site. Best Induction Cooktop Guide has no sponsors, no paid reviews and no paid placements, and no brand, store or manufacturer pays for a mention or a ranking. Every cooktop, burner and pan in my guides was tested by me, in my own kitchen in Tampa, Florida, on real family dinners.

The “Shop now” buttons take you to Amazon so you can check the current price and reviews. Right now I don’t earn a commission on those clicks or on anything you buy.

Who pays for the testing

I do. The cooktops, pans, thermometers and electrician visits come out of my own family budget. I buy most of what I test, and I borrow a few things from friends and family. If a brand ever sends me a product to test, I’ll say so in that guide, and it gets the same tests and the same honest verdict as everything else.

No sponsors, no paid placements

  • No brand or store pays to be in my guides, or to move up a ranking.
  • I don’t accept money, gifts or free products in exchange for coverage.
  • No brand sees an article before it’s published, and none gets a say in what I write.
  • Every buying guide names the cooktop I’d skip, whoever makes it.

If I add affiliate links

I plan to join the Amazon Associates program, and maybe other stores’ programs later. That would let me earn a small commission when you buy through a link, at no extra cost to you. Before the first affiliate link goes live, I’ll update this page, and from then on:

  • every program I belong to will be listed here by name
  • affiliate links will be clearly marked where they appear
  • my picks and rankings will still come from my tests, decided before any link is added
  • I’ll recommend the best product whether or not it pays me, and never push a worse one because it pays more

Sponsored content

I’ve never published a sponsored article. If I ever do, it will say “Sponsored” at the top of the page, it won’t appear in my rankings, and it will never be presented as my own independent testing.

FTC compliance

This disclosure follows the US Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).

Questions

If anything here isn’t clear, send me a message. You can also read how I choose and test products in my editorial policy and on my How We Test page.
