Where these two actually differ
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the Made In.
- We flag Handle hardware or rivets (non-stainless components) and Thermal shock or handle detachment 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 cladding, bare cooking surface, 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.
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 →
