Masterclass: what it’s actually made from

We have scored 4 Masterclass products. They average 16.8 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 51 points.

Of those 4: 1 name the surface that touches food at least to a material family; 1 name no food-contact material at all; 0 state a country of manufacture; 0 have a materials claim backed by anything other than the maker’s own word.

That spread is the thing worth noticing. The same company publishes enough about Masterclass Ceramic Coated Frypan 30cm (Big W) for it to score 51, and so little about Masterclass Cookware Set 5 Piece (Big W) that it scores 0. Disclosure here is a per-product decision, not a house style.

Where these sit on the site

Masterclass appears in Cookware. The Australian and American editions are scored the same way, so a product marked AU and one marked US are directly comparable.
