Where these two actually differ
- We flag Coating degradation and microchip release and Aluminum leaching (substrate dependent) on the GreenPan and not on the Made In.
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the GreenPan.
- The gap is 30 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Made In is the one to buy.
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 →
