Caraway

"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

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

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 ;-)

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

Easier to clean color coating.

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.

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.

Really cute brand that makes an aesthetic display for cook and bakeware (I've only tried the cookware). I appreciate that it makes it easy to display all my cookware on my counter instead of trying to hide it away or keep it organized.

I would want to see the linens in a similar minimalist colorway. I would love to see a white and gold or black and gold colorway. The bottom does get scratched up fairly easily, but would expect that with ceramic pans.

This is a tough one for me. After cooking on my roommate's peeling Teflon pan (ew) I bought these during peak quarantine (early summer 2020), so have been using for over a year now. I don't regret buying them at all -- I wanted a matching set and the ivory looked gorgeous out of the box. However, the bottoms get very easily stained, so they look worn pretty fast. They feel high quality, justifying the ~$400 price tag (although the largest pan is almost too heavy -- I can only hold it up for about a minute). Seems to cook things well, the smallest pan is starting to get marked up after a year. It's a good one-buy solution for small apartments, save for one thing -- the smaller pan can't get hot enough to sear/blacken anything, so I'll eventually have to buy a non-Caraway frying pan. Still gets 4 stars since they feel luxurious & I don't regret the purchase, but if the price tag freaks you out there are definitely suitable alternatives.

-Bottoms are stained after pretty much the first use -Largest pan is an absolute WORKOUT to lift -I personally don't have a use for the Dutch oven, so about $100 of the set just sits in my cabinet
