Where these two actually differ
- We flag PFAS in coating (not definitively documented), Thermal degradation of silicone coating, Coating adhesion loss over time and Microplastics from degraded coating 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 Silicone-treated paper; silicone or wax base coating where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 65 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 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
