Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PTFE/nonstick coating fume risk, Aluminum leaching and Coating degradation and microparticle shedding on the Kona and not on the Weber.
  • We flag Silicone additive/filler contamination (unspecified), Thermal degradation at extreme temperatures, Microplastic shedding if mat degrades and Coating degradation or peeling on the Weber and not on the Kona.
  • The Kona is Unclear; likely nonstick-coated steel or aluminum tray where the Weber is silicone (no nonstick fluoropolymer coating disclosed), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 50 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Weber is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Kona grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, 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 →
