Where these two actually differ
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the Milton.
- We flag PTFE fume risk (unconfirmed coating type), Aluminum leaching, Nonstick coating degradation and peeling and Unspecified coatings or additives in nonstick layer on the Milton and not on the Made In.
- The Made In is Stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating where the Milton is Nonstick coating, type unspecified, 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 Milton grade, at 35% confidence against 90%, 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 →
