Simply Calphalon Nonstick Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan vs Anniversary Pastry Set: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Nonstick coating thermal stability (unspecified chemistry), Coating degradation and flaking, Substrate leaching (aluminum if used) and Uneven heat distribution and hotspots on the Calphalon and not on the Le Creuset.
• We flag Enamel coating degradation and iron exposure, Thermal stress and cracking from high or uneven heat and Bacterial retention if enamel is compromised on the Le Creuset and not on the Calphalon.
• The Calphalon is Nonstick coating (type unspecified, proprietary) where the Le Creuset is Enameled cast iron, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 75 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Le Creuset is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Calphalon grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
