I am strangely passionate about my cookware and bakeware. Maybe that’s showing my age, but it’s the truth. I’ve loved cooking for decades, and over the last few years I’ve discovered a brand of cookware that puts my Le Creuset and All Clad to shame. I discovered Caraway Home a few years ago, and since trying their non-toxic cookware, I’ve become a loyal fan. In fact, I bought a full second set of Caraway for our vacation home in Boone, because I didn’t want to cook or bake without it when I’m there.
And before you laugh, I do get asked about my cookware fairly often, so it’s not just me who feels passionately ;).
Today I’m sharing a general review of my Caraway Home cookware, my favorite pots and pans, and then answering some frequently asked questions below. Hopefully you’ll find this helpful if you’re shopping for new cookware or if your a new Caraway owner!
Let’s jump in!
In general, I love Caraway Home cookware because it’s non-toxic AND non-stick and it’s just plain GORGEOUS. It’s priced fairly well too, for high quality cookware. I love that they come in sets which save you money or you can purchase pieces individually. And I love that they’re really easy to cook with (as opposed to stainless cookware that can be difficult for non-chefs).
Each pan/sheet is made with an aluminum core and ceramic coating on the inside and outside of the pan. They also have a nonstick, non-toxic coating that’s free of teflon, PEFE, heavy metals, and PFOA. The pans have a stainless steel plate which makes them safe for electric, gas, and induction. Oh, and they take less than a minute to heat up!
The best bang for your buck is to purchase a cookware or bakeware set, since they’re significantly discounted when you purchase that way! Use this link for $150 off cookware or bakeware sets + free shipping!
Let’s talk about each piece that I have (I’m including cookware AND bakeware here!).
The frying pan is $95 and it’s perfect for eggs, sautéing veggies, flipping pancakes, heating tortillas, you name it. I will say, this pan sticks slightly more than I’d like (especially with eggs) but I’m able to clean it with a little elbow grease! I use olive oil or coconut oil when I cook, never nonstick spray since that will NOT come off easily.
I LOVE this saute pan! It’s the perfect size for making bigger dinner dishes, like black bean tacos or bolognese. It’s $145 on it’s own, but does come with a lid. This is such a great size for dinner. I use this multiple times a week.
The sauce pan is great for making smaller batches of pasta, soup or anything you need to reheat. I use this at lunchtime quite often since I work from home.
I LOVE this dutch oven for making pasta or soups. I noticed right away away that water boils SO much faster in Caraway pots than my other pots, which are stainless steel. This post is $135 and comes with a lid. The Caraway website states that their pans heat up in under a minute and retains temperature more efficiently than most traditional cookware, which is probably why it boils faster.
The nonstick factor of this large baking sheet is shocking. It honestly blew me away the first time I used it! This size perfect for roasting a large batch of vegetables. The large is $55 and the dimensions are 18×13.
This is nice for making smaller batches of things or reheating a few pieces of pizza. If you’re getting just one, I’d always for for the larger size. The medium size is 15×10 in size, and $45.
Circle cakes pop out of here SO easily. I plan to buy their other baking items as mine need to replaced because I’ve been so impressed with these!
This pan rack is absolutely genius. It allows you to store your pans vertically so that you can pull them out as needed, versus stacking and storing them. I HATE having to pull everything out at once to get what I need and this rack makes it SO easy. How have I never had one until recently? These come with cookware sets and you cannot purchase them separately.
Okay, now let’s talk about the pans I don’t have yet.
The new mini collection is perfect for someone living in a smaller space, like an apartment, or if you’re only cooking for 1-2 people. This mini fry pan is great for single serve eggs, or dinners for two. Since this is $85, I’d opt for the regular size if possible for $10 more.
Same situation here. The mini sauce pan is great for SMALL recipes. Think rice for 2, homemade sauces, one can of soup, etc. It’s $105, so get the larger size if you can for $10 more.
This set of the mini sauce pan and fry pan is a good gift for college students or newlyweds living in a small space, but other than that reason, I think I’d stick to the full sizes!
My bread pans need to be replaced BADLY. They’re rusting and bread baking season is ahead!! This is $40 and I’m grabbing it the next time Caraway has a sale!
This pan is great for casseroles, baking chicken, baked oatmeal, you name it! This is $55.
Great for the same reasons as above — but a little smaller. This is $40.
The Muffin Pan is on my list to purchase since I use my current one pretty often, actually. This is $50, so if you typically use muffin or cupcake liners, you may not want to invest in this pan since sticking isn’t an issue with the liners.
I specifically love that this doesn’t have “feet” to stand on, so it doesn’t take up space when storing it. It’s raised off the counter to help with cooling, but it’s not propped up like most cooling racks I’ve seen. It nests right inside the large baking sheet too for storage. This is $40.
You’re probably researching Caraway pans for all the reasons listed below!
Hand clean them with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or dishcloth. When I’ve had food that was hard to get off (or my husband or nanny accidentally used nonstick spray which is a nightmare in Caraway), a Scrub Daddy (or Scrub Mommy!) worked well without damaging the pan.
Not really. The detergents and the abrasive cleaning of dishwashers breaks down the coating after time. If you hand wash, they will last much longer.
Yep, they are safe up to 550 degrees.
Caraway makes pan racks so that you can store your cookware vertically, instead of stacking them in a cabinet or in a drawer. It also come with a hanging fabric rack for the lids that sticks to a cabinet door. However, racks are only included when you purchase a cookware set or bakeware set. You cannot buy them separately.
Yep!
Likely 1-3 years, depending on how well they’re taken care of. All non-stick coating eventually wears off, but I’ve been pleased with mine for the last two years. Caraway does have a limited one-year warranty covering any major damage to the body, handles, lids, or anything else that functionally impairs the cookware, other than discoloration or damage through wear & tear.
It’s best not to use metal utensils on them since that can scratch the coating. Wooden, silicone, plastic, or nylon utensils are all great for Caraway products. I just got these cooking utensils and love them!
I love them, despite the few cons. I have purchased two full sets of cookware and am gradually buying the bakeware (which I may love even more than the cookware). If you want pots and pans that are pretty enough to leave on the counter or just want an aesthetically pleasing set that is also non-toxic, I doubt you can find anything better!
