Where these two actually differ
- We flag Microplastic generation and Bacterial colonization on the Our Place and not on the T-fal.
- We flag PTFE fume release (non-stick cooking), Aluminum leaching from substrate, Coating degradation and microparticle ingestion and Manufacturing and disposal PFAS emissions on the T-fal and not on the Our Place.
- The Our Place is Silicone utensils, no coating where the T-fal is PTFE non-stick coating, as disclosed by T-fal for this range, 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 Our Place is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the T-fal grade, at 35% confidence against 85%, 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 →
