Cookware Got Worse on Purpose: Who Owns Pyrex and All-Clad Now

# Summary A private equity firm (Centre Lane Partners) has quietly consolidated nearly all major American cookware brands—including Pyrex, Corelle, and Instant Pot—while other conglomerates like Groupe SEB (French owner of All-Clad) and Newell Brands have acquired and hollowed out legacy cookware companies by moving production overseas. The consolidation has led to quality issues, such as All-Clad's dishwasher-safe pans corroding dangerously, with the company settling a lawsuit but never fixing the underlying problem.
