carbonsteelpan.com earns affiliate commission when you buy through links on this site, at no additional cost to you. This page explains exactly how that works and how we keep it from bending our recommendations.
The Amazon Associates programme
carbonsteelpan.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
In practice: when you click a Check Price on Amazon button and buy something, Amazon pays us a small percentage. Your price does not change. We never see your personal or payment details.
How commissions could bias us, and what we do about it
Commission rates are broadly similar across the pans we cover, so we have little incentive to push one product over another. Where a conflict exists, we manage it in the open:
- Our top value pick is one of the cheapest pans we list, which earns us the least.
- We publish drawbacks of products we profit from, including the recurring seasoning complaints in Made In’s own buyer reviews and the Matfer Bourgeat recall, flagged on the very pages where we earn commission.
- Specifications come from manufacturer listings and are dated. Blank cells stay blank rather than guessed.
- Nobody pays for placement, coverage or a favourable verdict. Brands can request factual corrections only.
Prices
Prices shown were correct on the date noted beside them and change frequently on Amazon. The price you see at checkout is the only price that matters.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, 16 CFR Part 255. A short disclosure also appears at the top of every page containing affiliate links.
