Where these two actually differ
- We flag Coating degradation and integrity loss and Microparticle shedding from coating on the GreenPan and not on the Mirro.
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation and microchipping and PTFE or undisclosed nonstick binders on the Mirro and not on the GreenPan.
- Both carry a flag for Aluminum leaching, so neither choice avoids it.
- 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 Mirro grade, at 72% 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 →
