Why this grade

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Coating degradation and integrity loss, Aluminum leaching and Microparticle shedding from coating on the GreenPan and not on the Mauviel.
  • We flag Nickel leaching from stainless steel and Handle or rivet integrity over time on the Mauviel and not on the GreenPan.
  • The gap is 55 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the GreenPan 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 →
