Stainless Clad Fry Pan vs Duralite Die-Cast Fry Pan 24 cm: which is safer?
Made In Stainless Clad Fry Pan is the clear pick. Wonderchef Duralite Die-Cast Fry Pan 24 cm carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Clad separation or delamination over time on the Made In and not on the Wonderchef.
- We flag Nonstick coating degradation and aluminum leaching, PTFE fume risk (if coating is Teflon-type) and Die-cast aluminum structural integrity over time on the Wonderchef and not on the Made In.
- The Made In is Stainless steel clad construction, no nonstick coating where the Wonderchef is Die-cast aluminum with unspecified nonstick 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 Wonderchef 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 →
