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 Milton.
  • We flag PTFE coating degradation and fume inhalation, Coating flaking and microparticle ingestion and Unknown nonstick chemistry (non-PFAS alternatives) on the Milton and not on the GreenPan.
  • The gap is 75 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the GreenPan is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Milton grade, at 35% confidence against 100%, 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 →
