cdemer··on We Tested Nonstick Cookware: Coatings Don't Need to Look Worn to Shed Particles
Thanks! That's exactly why we do this work. Feedback on what we could improve is always welcome.

I’m the founder of RTINGS.com. A few notes about this investigation:

- For each piece of cookware, we purchased and tested three separate units

- Before taking the “new” measurement, each unit was washed three times with dish soap and rinsed with isopropyl alcohol

- Oil blanks and uncoated cookware were included as controls

- We did not chemically identify the particles that were released

- This investigation measured particle release, not toxicity or health risk
