The Essential is a staple in many Reviews team members’ kitchens. We like that it works well for all kinds of tasks, whether you’re making a pan sauce or getting a sear on some meat. Its high walls prevent grease from splattering on your countertop, and it can double as a flat-bottomed wok or even a Dutch oven. It’s also dishwasher-safe.

If you tend to splash your sautéed vegetables out of the frying pan, a deeper sauté pan is just what you need. This one has a large base to cook in, but tall walls to keep your ingredients inside the pan and off your stove. Plus, the sides are flat, so you can use them for leverage if you’re flipping something with a spatula.

A good stainless steel frying pan is non-negotiable for your kitchen arsenal. This 12-inch pan isn’t too big or too small. You may encounter a learning curve if you’re used to cooking on nonstick—make sure your grease or oil is hot before adding food—but once you get the hang of cooking on stainless steel, you’ll probably reach for it more frequently than you do your other pans.

This induction-friendly nonstick fry pan is a versatile medium size, so it’ll work for sandwiches, French toast, eggs, and pan-frying veggies. As with all PTFE-coated pans, you should opt for the lowest heat you need, and you should avoid heating an empty pan. Use nonstick-safe utensils, too! Every chef needs a solid nonstick pan in their cookware stash. This deal is a great one if you’re in the market.

This stockpot has a large capacity and is great to have around for soups, stews, and stocks—aka the three most important meals of autumn and winter. I also like using pots like these for reheating big batches of leftovers. The inside has a PTFE nonstick coating, so make sure to use nonstick-safe utensils. Nonstick stock pots are great for preventing vegetables from sticking or for cooking without excess fat or oil.

This nonstick sauté pan has a wide bottom and straight sides, which help to prevent splatter while still maximizing your cooking surface. The PTFE coating allows for easy turning, scrambling, and maneuvering, and the lid lets you control evaporation or lock in heat. I also appreciate the long handle and extra handle on the opposite side for when I’m moving the pan to the counter or opposite burner.

Live your Waffle House chef dreams with this double-burner griddle. It measures 13 by 20 inches and is ideal for cooking up pancakes, eggs, or burgers. It’s not as convenient as an electric griddle in some regards—there’s no built-in grease trap—but it also won’t take up an entire kitchen cabinet or valuable Sunday morning counter space. It’s technically dishwasher-safe, but we recommend washing it by hand to preserve the PTFE coating.

The melding of copper, aluminum, and 18/10 stick-resistant stainless makes for one of the best heat-conducting pans WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson has in his kitchen (aside from cast iron). He uses a smaller version for sauces, boiling potatoes, making bourbon-bacon bark, and countless other tasks. He says this is a kitchen workhorse. The included lid reduces evaporation.

Holiday cookie season is fast approaching. This bakeware set will help you prepare treats for all of your neighbors, friends, and neighbors’ friends. It comes with two cookie sheets and a wire cooling rack, so when you’re baking big batches, everything will have a chance to cool down before decorating. I can attest to the cookie sheets’ nonstick power, and that same coating makes them easier to clean when all the baking is finished. If you need a set with more pieces, including a muffin tin, check this option out.

This nonstick roaster measures 16 by 13 inches, so it’s big enough for a small turkey or a large quantity of roasted vegetables or other sides. Since it’s nonstick, you probably don’t want to rely on scraping up a fond to make a pan sauce with drippings, but it’s still going to come in handy if you regularly roast delicate items and simply need a big pan that can withstand the high heat of the oven.

If you’re looking for a way to roast up your holiday meats, this is a good option. (Just note that it doesn’t come with a rack.) The stainless steel roaster measures about 16 by 13 inches and can comfortably fit a turkey weighing up to 20 pounds. It’s oven-safe to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and durable enough that you can scrape the bottom to create a pan sauce using all that collected flavor.

Being from the Midwest, I know all too well that “grilling season” is more of a state of mind than it is an actual time of year. All-Clad makes great outdoor cookware that I frequently reach for while doing any cooking outside, whether from my backyard or from the campground. This set includes an 11-inch round grill, a large roaster, and a grill grid. These are perfect for imparting that roasty, smoky, charcoal-y flavor without running the risk of losing your asparagus or salmon to the flames below. And I like that the handles are large enough to grab while wearing oven mitts.

You really, really don’t want to use metal utensils on nonstick pans. This set comes with all the nonstick kitchen accessories you’d frequently reach for, including a slotted spoon, a turner, a flexible slotted turner, and a ladle. You’ll even get a canister so you can store them on your counter instead of shoving them into a drawer and crossing your fingers that you’ll be able to open it later. They’re heat-safe to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Despite the never-ending drama over whether to ban the app, President Donald Trump’s volatile tariff regime, and executive shake-ups, TikTok’s ecommerce division is still seeing massive growth.

TikTok doesn’t disclose aggregate sales figures, but the price and sales volume of individual products are visible on the app. Based on that data, the analytics firm EchoTik estimates TikTok Shop sold $19 billion worth of products globally from July through September of this year. The United States, its largest market, accounted for $4 billion to $4.5 billion in sales, an increase of about 125 percent compared to the second quarter of 2025.

To put those numbers into perspective, consider that TikTok Shop is now on the same scale as eBay, which saw $20.1 billion in total sales in the last quarter. TikTok Shop only launched in the US in September 2023, while eBay has been around for over 30 years. That speed of growth is remarkable.

“We have mostly focused on TikTok from this point of view of the TikTok ban, and we have almost forgotten that TikTok Shop’s share in US ecommerce just continues to grow slowly,” says Juozas Kaziukėnas, an independent ecommerce analyst.

What You See Is What You Get

TikTok Shop broke into the extremely saturated ecommerce landscape in the US by excelling at an age-old platitude: show, don’t tell. Creators post short videos on TikTok trying on clothes or using home gadgets and include links to buy the products on the same platform. It creates a much more straightforward experience for consumers, who can see real people testing products instead of needing to wade through written reviews on traditional ecommerce sites.

Ivy Yang, the founder of Wavelet Strategy, a strategic public relations consultancy, says she recently bought a dust-mite-removing vacuum on Amazon shortly before she scrolled past a TikTok Shop video featuring a similar product. She quickly realized the TikTok Shop version had more features, so she ordered it, tried it out, and returned the one from Amazon. To her, that’s the appeal of shopping on TikTok. “I need to see how it works in action,” Yang explains.

In theory, that’s what makes livestream shopping even more popular, at least in China, because now influencers can tout products on camera in real time, and there’s little editing involved that might mask any potential product defects. In recent years, livestream shopping has completely reshaped how people buy things in China and has become one of ByteDance’s main revenue pillars. But despite how hard TikTok has tried, it simply hasn’t been able to replicate that success in the US. Kaziukėnas says that TikTok Shop’s performance likely still falls short of ByteDance’s expectations, especially when it comes to livestream shopping.

The transition from a carbon-based fuel economy to that centered on hydrogen has gained interest worldwide given the focus on sustainability. As researchers in corrosion, it became obvious for us to look at the underlying interaction of hydrogen with materials as it forms the backbone of the hydrogen infrastructure, especially with respect to hydrogen transportation. For example, pipelines carrying hydrogen blended with natural gas offer an economic means of transporting hydrogen over long distances.

Of critical interest for such applications is the hydrogen diffusion characteristics in such steels as it gives fundamental knowledge of the threshold amount of hydrogen that can cause failure.

Reliably measuring the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in steels is of great value to researchers working in the area of hydrogen-material interactions.

When we set out to measure the diffusion characteristics of hydrogen in steels, we thought it could simply be followed from the ASTM (American Society for Testing of Materials) standard already available. We thought that we would indeed measure a typical hydrogen permeation transient using a classical Devanathan-Stachurski double permeation cell.

In this approach, upon hydrogen charging on one side of the sample, the first atomic hydrogen is detected on the other side after a breakthrough time, followed by a “rise” in the hydrogen flux and finally attaining a steady state from which the diffusion coefficient could be evaluated.

Although it looked straightforward, we faced challenges in implementing this in our lab. The first question we struggled with was obtaining the so-called steady state hydrogen permeation flux. For a typical electrochemical permeation measurement, we had to charge the sample with hydrogen at a certain current density.

The only question was by how much? From what we saw in literature, we tried to use severe charging conditions in alkaline electrolyte to begin with and we could not achieve this steady state. The flux reached a maximum and started to decrease thereafter, showing atypical behavior.

Trying to repeat the measurements were in vain, but what we noticed and what indeed puzzled us was some visible color change on the hydrogen charging side of the steel surface just after the measurement.

So, we immediately investigated the surface using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to indeed observe cracked layers and randomly distributed particles all over the sample. These particles showed a peak corresponding to oxygen when analyzed with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), prompting us to think they were iron oxides and encouraging us to use complementary characterization techniques to further identify them.

We used Raman spectroscopy to identify mixed iron oxides comprising of magnetite (Fe₃O₄), hematite (Fe₂O₃), and lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH). Further, we calculated, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), depth profiling, the thickness of the oxide to be around 50 nm.

We could also confirm this using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling and SEM cross-section imaging. But, formation of iron oxides during hydrogen charging was really surprising because the electrochemical conditions we used don’t generally support iron corrosion.

So, we proposed a hypothesis that during hydrogen charging, the formation of hydrogen bubbles occurs, and they attach to the surface of the steel. Due to this, the polarization potential applied to the steel is actually not realized on the surface as there is continuous and excessive hydrogen bubble formation.

As a result, an Ohmic drop across the bubbles occurs which, along with a higher pH value due to hydrogen evolution, could result in iron corrosion, according to the Pourbaix diagram.

This results in iron oxide formation, which we also confirmed by measuring the thickness using XPS and observation of particles on the surface using SEM for an independent electrochemical hydrogen charging experiment.

The results of this study were published in Corrosion Science.

But one might wonder how does the formation of iron oxide explain the atypical behavior of the hydrogen permeation flux. We suggested that these hydrogen bubbles, after growing up to a critical size, detach from the surface and therefore expose the underlying iron oxide.

The oxides then immediately undergo reduction owing to the electrochemical potential applied, and further result in the formation of fresh catalytic iron that enhances the hydrogen activity and promotes higher hydrogen flux.

On the other hand, the formation of iron oxide could also block hydrogen permeation, which could explain the decrease after reaching the maximum in the hydrogen permeation flux.

Having found out that severe charging leads to iron corrosion and surface effects during hydrogen permeation, we employed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to further prove that the iron oxide grows during hydrogen charging.

By measuring a corresponding higher charge transfer resistance for the oxide, we indeed showed that it influences the hydrogen permeation behavior. We also made use of the electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique to show that such severe charging leads to generation of new dislocations that introduce artifacts into the measurement of the hydrogen diffusion constant.

All this meant that we had to devise a strategy to avoid severe charging, so we came up with the idea of “soft” charging where we used much lower hydrogen charging current densities for performing the hydrogen permeation measurement.

Guess what, the idea worked!

We could measure a steady-state in the hydrogen permeation flux which did not decrease with time. We could clearly correlate this observation to the significant decrease in the amount of iron oxides visible on the surface using SEM and the almost negligible number of dislocations introduced using EBSD.

Thus, we suggest the use of “soft” hydrogen charging to measure reliably the diffusion constant of hydrogen in steels.

In essence, we report a surprising observation of iron corrosion during hydrogen charging in an electrochemical permeation measurement and suggest ways to circumvent this for reliably measuring the diffusion constant of hydrogen in steels. We believe this could be of great use to researchers working in the area of hydrogen-material interactions, the electrochemistry and corrosion community.
