Cookware Set
Caraway's cookware uses a ceramic coating that is PTFE-free, PFAS-free, and free of heavy metals. A significant upgrade over Teflon. The ceramic coating is non-stick and easy to clean. Limitation: ceramic coatings can chip over time and are not as durable as cast iron.

Caraway's ceramic coating is PTFE-free and PFAS-free, which is a significant improvement over Teflon. However, ceramic coatings can chip and degrade, and long-term data on ceramic coating safety is more limited than for cast iron.
Why We Recommend This Product
A good choice for those who need non-stick performance without PFAS. Just replace when the coating chips or scratches, and use wooden or silicone utensils to extend its life.
