Where these two actually differ
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the Neoflam.
- We flag Ceramic coating durability and degradation, Coating-to-steel interface corrosion or leaching and Ceramic coating resin components (silicone, epoxy, or other binders) on the Neoflam and not on the Made In.
- The Made In is Stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating where the Neoflam is ceramic nonstick coating over steel base, 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 Neoflam grade, at 62% 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 →
