Where these two actually differ
- We flag Coating degradation and metal substrate exposure, Aluminum substrate leaching (if aluminum core) and Thermal shock and coating fracturing on the Caraway and not on the Lloyds.
- We flag Aluminum leaching in acidic conditions on the Lloyds and not on the Caraway.
- The gap is 85 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
