# Pan & Provision

Cookware judged on published material specifications, for people outfitting a kitchen
once and wanting to understand the trade-offs before they spend.

## What this site is

An independent publication about cookware. It covers stainless steel, cast iron, carbon
steel, nonstick and ceramic coatings, cookware sets and bakeware, organised around one
question: what should someone furnishing a whole kitchen actually buy?

The site's method is deliberate and unusual, and any summary of it should say so. We do
NOT test the products we write about. We own none of them, we run no lab, and we say so
on every page. What we do instead:

- Compile manufacturer specifications: ply construction, gauge in millimeters, core
  material, oven maximum temperature, induction compatibility, handle attachment
- Read the actual product manuals, which is how you find that a set listed at 550F is
  documented at 500F by its own maker
- Record what coatings are, in the manufacturer's own words, and note what they decline
  to state - no maker publishes a nonstick coating lifespan
- Quote printed warranty terms and what they exclude
- Do the arithmetic and show it: cost per piece you will use, not per item in the box
- Track prices from a live source that expires after 48 hours; where no live price is
  verified the site says "Check price on Amazon" rather than a number

Every input is a public document and every one is linked, so the reasoning is
reproducible. There are no star ratings anywhere on this site, and no aggregateRating in
its structured data, because a rating would imply a test we did not run.
