  • We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the Made In.
  • The Made In is stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating where the Made In is Stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
