Evan Carmichael

Evan Carmichael is the founder and lead appliance analyst at Best Home Kitchen, where he leads the research on small kitchen appliances, cookware, and kitchen knives. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he has always been more interested in how kitchen gear works than in how it is marketed.

Evan reviews products through a specification-first lens. For an espresso machine or an air fryer, that means wattage, heating design, capacity, and the parts most likely to wear out. For a skillet or a knife, it means the base material, the cladding or core, and the steel the manufacturer actually lists. He weighs those details against verified owner feedback and the BHK Score criteria, then turns them into clear, hype-free buying guides that help readers build a kitchen that lasts.
