How to read verdicts:
Pass metal/glass primary path (silicone seals OK if disclosed).
Partial usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids.
Fail plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick in the normal use path.
First batch (Nov 2026): mainstream stainless, cast iron, carbon steel, enamel, plus coated fails (HexClad, Caraway) so the rule stays clear. Every SKU here has a tagged Amazon listing.
