Welcome to The Plateman
At The Plateman, we’re passionate about helping home cooks and kitchen enthusiasts discover the best appliances that make cooking easier, faster, and more enjoyable. Since our founding, we’ve tested hundreds of kitchen products to bring you honest, detailed reviews you can trust.
Our Mission
We believe that the right kitchen tools can transform your cooking experience. Our mission is to cut through the marketing noise and provide genuine, hands-on reviews that help you make confident purchasing decisions. Every appliance we recommend has been thoroughly tested in real-world conditions.
Our Testing Process
We don’t just read spec sheets—we put products through rigorous real-world testing. From blenders crushing ice to air fryers cooking family meals, we evaluate performance, durability, ease of use, and value for money. Our reviews are based on weeks of hands-on experience, not quick impressions.

Our Values
Honesty First: We tell you what works and what doesn’t, even if it means recommending against popular products.
Independence: While we earn commissions through Amazon affiliate links, this never influences our reviews. We maintain complete editorial independence.
Practical Testing: We test products the way you’d use them at home—cooking real meals, making real messes, and evaluating long-term performance.
Reader Focus: Your needs come first. We answer the questions real buyers have and provide the information you need to choose wisely.
Why Trust Us?
Unlike manufacturers’ marketing materials or rushed reviews, we invest time in thorough testing. We buy products at retail price (or receive them as review samples with no strings attached), use them extensively, and report our honest findings. Our reputation depends on providing reliable, trustworthy recommendations.
