The Martha Stewart Lockton Premium Nonstick is part of the Cookware test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Cookware Sets (Nonstick) models like the Lockton Premium Nonstick are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.
Set: Each set includes at least a saucepan, a frying pan, and a stockpot. Lids are typically counted as separate components in a set.
Cooking evenness: A thermal imaging camera is used to evaluate the heating evenness of the frying pan
Nonstick food release: Nonstick food release score reflects the nonstick qualities of a pan's interior by cooking four eggs consecutively without oil. An Excellent score indicates that all four eggs slid off the pan without assistance; A Poor score indicates that scraping was needed to release any egg from the pan and some egg residue was left on the pan.
