Cookware Set

Score: 8.2/10 | Caraway is the best ceramic non-stick option for families who want easy food release without the PFAS concerns of traditional Teflon. Verified safe, longer-lasting than competitors, and genuinely beautiful.

This review uses the R3 Cookware Methodology v1.0.0, which evaluates cookware across six pillars: Safety (35%), Efficacy (30%), Value (15%), Usability (10%), Sustainability (5%), and Suitability (5%).

Caraway's ceramic coating is verified PFAS-free by Consumer Reports testing. This is not just marketing - independent lab analysis confirmed no detectable PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, or cadmium. The ceramic coating is derived from sand and applied at high temperatures.

Key safety features:

• PFAS-free verified by third-party testing
• PTFE-free (no traditional Teflon)
• Lead and cadmium-free tested
• Safe up to 550F without coating degradation

Unlike traditional non-stick, which can release toxic fumes if overheated, Caraway's ceramic coating does not off-gas harmful compounds even when accidentally overheated.

The ceramic coating provides excellent food release when new, and maintains good performance for 2-3 years with proper care - significantly longer than Our Place (6-12 months) or GreenPan (12-18 months) based on user reports.

• Excellent initial non-stick (9/10 out of box)
• Good heat distribution from aluminum core
• Oven-safe to 550F including lids
• Induction compatible (ferromagnetic base)

The coating does eventually wear - this is true of all ceramic non-stick. But Caraway's durability exceeds most competitors in this category.

At $395 for the 4-piece set (fry pan, sauce pan, saut pan, Dutch oven plus lids and storage), Caraway hits a reasonable price point. The included magnetic storage rack adds genuine utility and protects the coating.

Caraway offers a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects - stronger coverage than most competitors.

These pans are lightweight compared to stainless steel, making them easier to maneuver. The magnetic storage system prevents the coating scratches that occur when pans are stacked. Cleanup is genuinely easy - most food wipes clean with minimal effort.

Caraway is the best ceramic non-stick cookware for families who want convenient food release without PFAS concerns. The coating is genuinely safe, lasts longer than competitors, and the pans perform well. Just understand that all ceramic coatings eventually wear - plan for 2-3 years of good performance rather than the decades you get from stainless steel.
