Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE fume inhalation risk, Aluminum leaching from substrate, Coating degradation and microflake ingestion and Lack of thermal stability labeling on the LMETJMA and not on the Made In.
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the LMETJMA.
- The LMETJMA is nonstick coating, composition unspecified where the Made In is Stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 85 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Made In is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the LMETJMA grade, at 35% confidence against 90%, 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 →
