Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: April 14, 2026

At Cooked & Baked (“we,” “our,” or “us”), transparency and trust are incredibly important to us.

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn compensation through certain links, product recommendations, and partnerships featured on cookedandbaked.com.

Our goal is to always be honest about how this website is supported.


Affiliate Relationships

Some links on this website may be affiliate links.

This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer or brand at no additional cost to you.

The price you pay remains exactly the same.

These commissions help support the costs of running Cooked & Baked, including recipe development, ingredient testing, photography, website hosting, and the time spent creating free content for our readers. FTC guidance emphasizes that disclosures should clearly explain compensation and be placed prominently.


Our Editorial Integrity

Our recommendations are always based on our genuine opinions and personal experience.

As a couple who personally cooks, bakes, grills, and tests every recipe on this site, we only recommend products, kitchen tools, ingredients, and equipment that:

  • we personally use
  • we have tested ourselves
  • we genuinely believe provide value
  • we would recommend to family and friends

Affiliate relationships do not influence our opinions.

Trust matters far more to us than commissions.

Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships

From time to time, we may work with brands through sponsorships, gifted products, or paid partnerships.

Whenever this happens, it will always be clearly disclosed within the content itself.

Examples may include:

  • sponsored blog posts
  • product reviews
  • gifted kitchen equipment
  • paid recipe collaborations

Any sponsored relationship will never change our commitment to honest recommendations.
