  • I’ve had the caraway pan set (including the minis) in blue for about a year and they held up well. Non-stick in general is notorious for not lasting long and requiring medium to low heat, but if you go in with that understanding I think they’re a great set. I haven’t experienced any chipping and there’s minimal staining except on the bottom of the pan, they’re also a breeze to wash. I hope they continue to last over time but as for right now I enjoy them greatly.

  • I love the look of these pans, they are also incredibly easy to cook with and clean.

    However, I have only had them for two months and the outside is already stained and starting to chip. I’m concerned about their durability.

  • I’ve read a lot about this just being a marketing brand but I’ve been surprised by how well the pans have held up over time. However securely pricey and feel like I’m paying extra for the brand

  • I've had the baking set for almost 2 years now. It has held up beautifully. Would be a lovely gift for an avid baker, or someone moving into a new apartment/home.

  • Love the way these look and they work well! But you have to be super careful about not scratching the bottom because it looks like mine have chipped a bit or maybe just stained so it's been hard keeping them looking brand new. But overall I think they're a great product!

  • I was gifted a set as a housewarming gift in light blue and I love cooking with it! I already notice staining on the bottom though, and I've only had it for three months. Probably wouldn't spend my own money on it, but I really like it!

  • Perfect middle ground Dutch oven. Didn’t want to spend as much as other brand but still wanted something cute and durable and this is exactly is. Has held up in the oven and stove very well

  • Love the idea but these pans are basically disposable if you cook a lot. Have never had one last longer than 6 months.

  • We have the set in green and I love it for the quality and how it looks on the open shelving in my kitchen (I'm shallow like that). I like that it came with care instructions. I second that the outside of the pans can be hard to clean, and yes, they are pricey, but as far as non-stick pans go, these are the best. Also, really thoughtful packaging experience. Update: upped my rating from 4 to 5 bc Caraway just sent me store credit (I'm assuming bc they saw my review?) and that is EXACTLY how you score points with me ;-)

  • Even though I am a big fan of going out to eat, I am always trying to improve my cooking skills since one day I do hope to host awesome food parties at my place, or just have something really good to make for any family get-togethers. And I know a big part of making good food is having the right tools to make it. I have been looking for a while to find good pots and pans from thrift stores and yard sales, but it has become apparent that people really hang onto their nice stuff for very, very long! So, I figured I should just go all in and buy something really nice if I was never going to find anything used but in good condition for a reasonable price. I had heard about Caraway for a while now and saw it recommended a few times. I wanted something that could work with a portable induction cooktop, as I wanted to try one out since I heard it was much better to use than using gas. I also liked that these pans and pots came in a variety of colors and were non-toxic. Like I know getting a steel pan may have been better since those are very reliable, but I wanted something with a cool color! I saw that Caraway was now on Amazon, which was perfect since I had a bunch of gift card money. I did notice that some reviews say it didn't work too well with induction burners, so that had me quite worried. But I felt it was still worth it even if you had to be really gentle with these pots and pans. I ended up purchasing the Perracotta cookware set, which came with a fry pan, sauce pan, saute pan, and dutch oven. I absolutely love how it came with its own storage system for both the lids and the pots. It was a bit hard to find the room for everything, but thankfully everything ended up just barely fitting in my cabinets! I now treat these pans like my babies and use them sparingly and only for the most important of recipes. And so far, they are working great! I have not had many issues using my induction burner, though I don't often have huge amounts of liquid I need to get to a boil. I make sure to hand wash each piece I use, as I read that these can get damaged easily. Since I do not use them too often, there have not been many chips or scratches yet, though I think one did appear recently which was sad. The nonstick coating is amazing and it works so well. These pots and pans were worth it to me to have something I will keep for many, many years as I continue my cooking journey. But they were still very expensive, and without the Amazon gift cards I had I likely would not have purchased them. But if you want to treat yourself, Caraway is a great option for colorful and safe cooking supplies!

    As others said, these pans are quite heavy. Might be good to look into if any weight can be removed from each product.

    I've been cooking with Caraway's cookware set and the investment has mostly paid off

  • I ordered the Sauté Pan, and although I do think it cooks very well, I will say it is way too heavy! I also have an Our Place Always Pan, and I will say I do prefer it, even tho it scratches very easily.

  • I love these pots and pans! They're amazing quality and really easy to cook and clean.

  • I’ve been using for about 9months and they are still wonderful. They’re a little less non stick than they were at first but still superb. Consisting temperature throughout. The storage solutions are game changers. The whole set looks and cooks great!

  • Super aesthetic and cute, too bad the pan stains very easily. I got the cream color fry pan and no matter how careful I was, the bottom of the pan still got stained from cooking over flame. Despite me following all instructions when cooking and cleaning, the supposedly non-stick pan actually became quite sticky after a while, unfortunately.

  • Nice funky colors. They stain easily though. I do love ceramic and the magnetic pot organizer. Kind of pricey but good quality for sure.

    Make it easier to clean the coating For the price, I would not recommend it. They aren't bad, just too expensive for something that stains so easily

  • I have the large pot and it is GOLD! I have had this for almost 2 years now and it has been my go-to pot for making so many meals. The heat distribution is wonderful for boiling and sautéing. I usually get most of the cleaning done by emptying it out and doing a quick rinse – barely any scrubbing is ever required (until you get a scratch where the nonstick doesn't work..don't let it happen!). The size is also beyond perfect for making soups and giving you room to maneuver any bulky food like potatoes or even tie dye a shirt.

    Only invest in this pan if you are going to take really good care of it. It's nothing crazy, but most people don't realize how sensitive nonstick products are. If you are very gentle with it and only use silicone or wood utensils and NEVER toss it in the sink to fill up with other hard dishes/metal utensils in it, it will be your most dependable kitchen tool. Also beware of scratching if you have a stove with raised grates and slide the pot around on it.

  • I've had my caraway pots & pans for almost three years now, and I still think they're basically flawless. Only con in my mind: they're quite heavy.

  • Pleasantly surprised by these pans. We've been using them about for about six months and cook pretty much daily. They've held up great, are nonstick, are heavy and well built, and clean easily. We have the yellow color. The cabinet holders are a very nice touch. I will say they are very pricy for the size of the set, but we don't have to supplement with many other pieces for a functional kitchen. We replaced a much bigger nonstick set with these and I don't miss any of the extra pieces from that set. We also got a great black Friday deal through another vendor which helped. Interested to see how they continue to perform long term, but so far so good.

    The saucepan is our least used piece because it's kind of an awkward size. A bit big for heating up sauce or a can of something, but a bit small for cooking pasta for more than one person (or gf pasta since you need more water/it's foamier). I wish they sold each pan individually and maybe offered one more smaller saucepan. I don't love the handles on the lids, they're kind of hard to grip with a pot holder, but I don't use them frequently enough to make it a big deal. The lid holder is also too big to hang in our cabinet so we have to lay it flat.

  • "Cooking is a craft, I like to think, and a good cook is a craftsman...Practicing your craft in expert fashion is noble, honorable, and satisfying" Those words were spoken by the late great culinary maestro Anthony Bourdain, and the spirit of his expression is carried through beautifully in Caraway's cookware The unboxing experience is superlative and the details - such as the inclusion of a thoughtful handbook, lid holder, trivets, and storage trays - are rich and brilliant The product stands apart from its peers through visual identity and design aesthetic, but the performance is what resonates with even the most discerning home cook

    Feedback

    I'd love to have the option to select glass lids versus the standard matching lids, as they are quite heavy and can be cumbersome

  • I love this brand — I have the Caraway Set and the Always pan, and this is my preferred. It's a little pricey, but it comes with some great organization tools (keeps my drawers nice and clean) and the pans are so easy to clean + maintain. I cook frequently and they still look good as new. Plus, I love the non-toxic approach. Great investment for your kitchen if you can swing it. They seem like they last.
