Where these two actually differ
- We flag Non-stick coating degradation and fume release, Coating leaching into food (migration) and Proprietary additives (undisclosed) on the Good Cook and not on the If You Care.
- We flag Paper degradation and particulate shedding on the If You Care and not on the Good Cook.
- The Good Cook is Paper with non-stick coating (unspecified) where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, 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 If You Care is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Good Cook grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
