What is the difference between platinum and non-platinum?

I think it has to do with the amount of protection from heat/cold. But if you really want to know specifics why don't you call the Gila customer help line at 1-800-528-4481.

Hello!! I called gila on this same question. They told me the platinum was designed specifically for the Home Depot chain. And it may be sold other places like amazon or independent sellers. The gila rep told me that the only difference in all heat control film is one blocks like 93 percent of UVA and UVB rays, and the platinum blocks like 95 percent, she said ultimately there is no difference in performance except the platinum because of it's Color , blocks out a couple more percentage points of sun rays. But I personally recommend the platinum this stuff is so cool! I live in a 2 story condo and my kitchen window faces the parking lot, I like to people watch and see what's going on out there, In the daytime, this stuff is a high gloss silver mirror to those on the outside, and I can stand and gawk and stare out the window at people and nobody knows I'm even looking at them! It's a great color, and provides great heat reduction! I highly recommend it..

I had the same dilemma while choosing my BBQ and I chose the Silver because I preferred the materials used in the side table. The silver has an aluminum side table that will hold up and last longer in the life of the BBQ. The platinum has plastic like material for the table portion that most likely will not have as much longevity as the aluminum. I have a separate container for charcoal so the storing portion of the Platinum is useless to me. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of the Silver and would recommend it to anyone consider buying one. Really well made BBQ for the price.

It fits my platinum, but I don't know of any difference between the bed on a platinum and a limited.

I prefer the PS may mean Professional strength. It has more (double) bromelain (from pineapple core) which is more natural and less pancreatin which is from animal. I originally bought the PS and then I bought the N but my wife didn't like the the N as much. I prefer PS I think it might be the original formula???

The Platinum edition lists as being 0.5 lbs heavier than the Silver, despite having the exact same features. Additionally, the a slightly more gun metal, or anodized color tone, seeming just a bit sepia-like. The Silver is a much cleaner looking silver color. Both have a deep matte finish. You can compare them at their amazon page: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - PlatinumJust use the color selection tool right below the list price to see the very subtle difference.

I'm so late, so very late... Nope. The Platinum has a low cg (center of gravity) chassis + aluminum parts. :)

I think mainly it's that the Deluxe is stainless steel and the other is nickel. The function and design are the same.

I apologize for the late response.Platinum is not a correct description. The strip is gold in color, but is an attractive design.The dishes are translucent in nature so you can see light through them if held up to a light.

The finish is basically the same. ( The brushed look) The metals are different, one is stainless which has a natural brushed look. The other is nickel which needs to be brushed to get that look. The colors are so close to each other that it is sometimes hard to tell them apart. Hope this helps.

I have only purchased the international metal polish, so I am unsure of the difference. I would recommend checking to see if they have their own website and ask them directly. I love this polish, it has always worked for me. Good luck

Well; from where I come from, price is always a factor. If both units are fairly comperable and from the same manufacturer; I usually always go with the lower price. I think the Platinum unit is a bit higher in price. The Silver for less is the better deal in my opinion.

If it was me, I would not pay a cent extra for a "platinum edition", whatever that is. Regular HP12C works great. Sounds like marketing hype to me.

I don't see that there's a difference - I suspect the tulip reference is related to the handles. I have been using these for some time and find that they are the best (of many) aluminum pans I've used, both in terms of non- stick and uniform cooking. Only caveat is that they are not suited to very high heat applications (like blackening meats) - best to stick to cast iron for that.

We've not had any experience w/ the platinum model, but are very pleased with the silver, grills perfectly as all weber's do!

Nouvell has the copper bottom for transfer the advance has stainless steel. Both are great pans I prefer the nouvelle . These are heavy pans and I have ordered the whole set over the last year.
