Recipe & AI Disclosure

TopTenPlates is operated by Jose Salgado. Our selection of dishes is an editorial view, not an official ranking or a claim that one version represents every family or region. Read [our method](/about/) for the approach to research and selection.

Some recipes have been cooked in our kitchen; others are researched working recipes awaiting kitchen testing. Check the status on the individual recipe. A research review, calculation check, translation or AI review is not itself a kitchen test.

A tested recipe may still behave differently with another oven, ingredient brand, batch size or substitution. Testing status does not establish that every variation has been tried.

AI tools assist with research organization, drafting, editing, translation and the creation or editing of some food images. AI can produce mistakes. Its involvement does not establish authenticity, correct calculations or food safety.

Responsibility for the published content remains with the site operator. Reader reports help identify errors, but a disclosure does not substitute for reviewing and correcting the recipe.

The site includes AI-generated and AI-edited food images. These are illustrations of dishes and may contain inaccuracies in texture, presentation, ingredients or equipment. They are not evidence that the pictured result was cooked or photographed in our kitchen.

Do not infer kitchen-testing status from a picture. Follow the recipe instructions and safety guidance rather than treating an illustration as a reliable doneness or equipment guide.

Weights are generally more consistent than approximate volume conversions. Timing and yield estimates depend on equipment and technique; do not use time or appearance alone where a safe internal temperature is needed.

Check labels for allergens and consider cross-contact. A substitution does not automatically make a dish safe for an allergy or medical diet. Nutrition information, if provided, is an estimate unless specifically stated otherwise.

For safe cooking temperatures, consult [FoodSafety.gov](https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures). Our content does not replace individualized advice from a qualified professional.

TopTenPlates currently has no advertising, affiliate commissions or sponsored recommendations. If we publish sponsored content, accept a material benefit for a recommendation or use a commission-earning link, the relevant content must identify that relationship clearly near the recommendation or link. This page alone is not a substitute for that disclosure.

Send the page URL and a description of the issue to [hello@toptenplates.com](mailto:hello@toptenplates.com). For a cooking problem, useful details include ingredient weights, batch size, substitutions, oven setting and timing. Do not include sensitive personal information.
