Knowledge is powerful. This is a key element in why The Cookware & Bakeware Alliance was formed back in 1922, to collect and share important information and create safe consumer products.

For years we have answered questions and shared resources on important topics facing our industry. Many times, only part of the answer is shared, or one viewpoint. The Good Science site has been created to help provide resources and access to more information on important topics. We now bring all of this information to our website to share and promote Good Science.

Below you will find links to important information from known sources. And we are just at the beginning stages. We have so much information to share, so check back often.

Have a question for our experts? Email info@cookware.org.

Thank you for your interest in Good Science!
