I found you through the emf/induction stove search. You did a hell of a job breaking that down. More sites like this are needed.

Your website is THE definitive source I have found for debunking all the marketing BS associated with cookware. I love your review methodology because it suits my research based career...I have not found an area of your expansive website that I don't like!

...I really enjoy the content you all have put together. Really informative, well-researched, and thorough.
I especially enjoy all of the content around confusing nonstick cookware stuff. It really is a murky field with manufacturers trying all sorts of ways to present themselves as totally safe, healthy, non-toxic etc when really it just comes down to PTFE vs ceramic, both of which have some questionable compromises involved.
