Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE thermal decomposition and fume release, Non-stick coating degradation and microparticle shedding and Unspecified coating chemistry and PFAS exposure on the Delonghi and not on the Delonghi.
- The Delonghi is Non-stick coated cooking plates (composition unspecified) where the Delonghi is stainless steel cooking plates, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Delonghi grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
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 →
