Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE or other fluorinated polymer coating migration, Silicone shedding or microparticles and Heat-induced coating breakdown and volatilization on the Sur La Table and not on the If You Care.
- We flag Paper degradation and particulate shedding on the If You Care and not on the Sur La Table.
- The Sur La Table is Bleached wood pulp with grease-resistant coating where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 65 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the If You Care is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Sur La Table grade, at 55% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
