Where these two actually differ
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the Prestige.
- We flag Aluminium leaching, PTFE fume risk (if coating is PTFE-based), Coating degradation and flaking and Thermal stability of unspecified coating on the Prestige and not on the Made In.
- The Made In is Stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating where the Prestige is Aluminium body, unspecified non-stick 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 Prestige 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 →
