Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PTFE fume risk (thermal decomposition), Aluminum leaching, Coating degradation and microparticle shedding and Lack of third-party testing or certification on the and not on the Made In.
  • We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the .
  • The is Aluminum with unspecified nonstick coating 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 grade, at 35% confidence against 90%, because it discloses less.
