How We Research

Every guide on crustandsear.com follows the same process.

1. Understand the question

We start from what readers actually search for — “best gas pizza oven for beginners”, “griddle vs grill” — and look at what existing guides cover and what they leave out.

2. Research the products

We compare manufacturer specifications and documentation, independent published information, and recurring themes in verified customer feedback (for example, common complaints about uneven heat, rust or wind sensitivity). We don't copy other reviews.

3. Be honest about what we know

• We never claim to have tested a product unless we actually did; tested products carry a “Tested by us” label.
• We don't publish invented statistics, quotes or ratings.
• We don't list prices, because they change constantly. Check the retailer for the current price.
• For gas, fire and food safety we follow manufacturer instructions and established food-safety guidance, and we include safety warnings.

4. Drafting and review

Our guides are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, checked against a quality and accuracy checklist, and reviewed by a human editor before they are published.

5. Keeping guides up to date

We regularly revisit published guides: removing discontinued products, updating recommendations and fixing anything that has become outdated. Each guide shows the date it was last updated.
