Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set, 12 Piece

The only reason I bought these pans is my concern about leaching elements and my brain…and Alzheimer’s.
The bad first –
# 1: Do not throw away the lids to the pots you have! This was my first mistake. If you want to reach for a domed lid to cover say a burger to melt cheese on a plate or a grill type pan (which I have) – the Caraway lids are as flat as a pancake. This is an issue for me. If you want to “rest a piece of meat” and cover with a domed lid on a plate, you are out of luck.
# 2: They’re heavy. They feel heavier than most pans I have had in the past. Have I weighed them and compared? No, but they feel heavy – that’s it.
# 3: If you want to see what’s going on and you’re used to glass lids…forget it. I do miss seeing whatever I am cooking without having to lift the lid. Removing the lid removes heat and steam. Annoying.
# 4 Limited choices with pans. I miss many of the “in between” sized pans/pots I had. Hopefully they will offer more. Update: they may offer more but I will not be buying this brand again.
# 5 The vent holes. Why? The lids have a tiny hole to vent steam. If you cook rice in the sauce pan, it lets out enough steam that the rice does not cook appropriately.
#6 The handles! OUCH. Come on – can’t you even coat them with silicone?, be careful you don’t burn yourself.
The good – (update) -only #2 still stands.
#1 – They clean easily enough…at the beginning. Nothing is ever stick free for long…but it is almost a year and these are not wearing well. They’re not true nonstick for very long but (I don’t feel any nonstick is truly nonstick for very long.) Ok 10 months and they are showing leftovers remain – never get quite clean enough.
# 2 – The overall heating is consistent, it’s even…no hot spots. Just seems right to me. Some pans/pots seem to have issues with even heating. I’d give good kudos in that sense.

Would I recommend? NO. Almost a year now and I just think they are too expensive for what you get. I prefer glass tops. I want DOMED lids – they serve a purpose. These pans feel too heavy – not cast iron heavy, but they are heavy. Not enough pan sizes, and this amount of money it is not worth it. And the handles! OUCH. Come on – can’t you even coat them with silicone?, be careful you don’t burn yourself. If I recall, the manufacturer states something like ” no high heat etc.” well you know what? Some things need a little more heat? I cannot cook everything on low to medium heat.

My favorite cookware set! I recently moved into a new apartment and needed a new set of cookware. I had heard great things about Caraway and wanted to try their ceramic pans for myself. I ordered the Sage Green which was my favorite color, but all of their colors online are very chic and classy. When I received the package, the packaging was very well put together (see photos). You could tell that this company places a lot of thought into their packaging and products. The pans (comes with 4) themselves are not too heavy but have a good weight, which really makes them feel durable and high quality.

When cooking, the pans heat up and retain heat well with their metal bases—medium heat works just fine! The best part of these pans—cleaning was so easy! I tried out the sauce pan and frying pan with just some oil, and both were very easy to clean off with just some water and soap. No remnants were leftover.

One additional great feature—this set comes with a magnetic organizer and canvas lid holder. The magnetic organizer is so easy to use and can be rearranged depending on how you like it. I haven’t found a place yet to hang my lid organizer, but this is such a great feature to keep your kitchen tidy.

All in all, I would highly recommend this set for anyone looking for new ceramic cookware that does not stick! The pans are also so beautiful and have a high quality feel to them. I am so happy I purchased this set!

llegó en buen estado y hasta ahora muy bien.
