Where these two actually differ
- We flag Nonstick coating degradation over time, Coating fume release at high temperature and Microplastics from coating shedding on the Calphalon and not on the Stock Your Home.
- We flag Coating degradation and fume release at high temperature and Coating leachables (silicone, wax, or hydrocarbon compounds) into food on the Stock Your Home and not on the Calphalon.
- The Calphalon is Steel with PFA-free nonstick coating where the Stock Your Home is unbleached paper with standard grease-resistant coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Calphalon is the one to buy.
