Before you buy
Start with suitability, then compare the evidence. These checks are questions to investigate, not promises that every product in this ranking meets them.
- Check food-contact suitability, heat limits and compatibility with your cooker or dishwasher.
- Compare coatings, lids and seals separately from the main material; a steel body does not make every component plastic-free.
- Choose sizes you will use and check replacement parts; an unused reusable item is still an additional purchase.
What the ranking does—and does not—tell you
The ethics score is a comparison of the information recorded in our catalogue, not a customer star rating, safety test or complete lifecycle assessment. Check the individual product's sources, certificate scope and current retailer details before deciding.
