Great information! can wait for what you purchase next! your honesty and points where amazing
Thank you for sharing!!!
I have them. I keep the heat at medium as the site says and so far everything is well after 3 months. I get a decent char on things that need to have that. Easy to take care of for me. For most things I use the Caraway, but for steaks I use cast iron, carbon steel or stainless steel. I don't throw any of my pans in to wash right when they are hot. I always wait for them to cool down before I wash them whether they are stainless steel, ceramic, carbon steel, or cast iron.
Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for this review. I think this pans are not for me either. I cook a lot of pasta & dishes that require high heat & base on your review, you just saved me $400. Thanks so much‼️
Thanks here too! I cook on high heat also.
Thank you this helped me so much!
These pans are wayyy too expensive for how fragile they are and how many rules there are
I just subscribed to your channel and I was thinking as you presented the video that it sounds like Caraway and the Forever Pan. Informative video. Thanks.
THANKS for information ♥️
Thank you for saving me the trouble.
✌🏽❤️
Thank you!!
What pans do you recommend? Recently purchased the hexclad set but thinking of returning for a non toxic pan.
Great review
I've been on the fence of trying Greenlife cookware. Similar to Caraway
I would probably agree regarding the cookware set. Those reasons are why I swear by my all clad stainless steel. However, I do have the caraway food storage container set and a few of their bakewear pans that I was missing from my collection. Those products are excellent. Plus customer service was awesome and threw in a free organizer even though I didn't buy the entire bakewear line. Glad she gave credit where it's due to their customer service team. It just goes to show before you leave unsatisfactory feedback, just ask and you may be surprised.
Thanks for comment on the All Clad. I am seriously thinking about it. I was going to get all SS, but might get pans SS and try one non stick trying g pan. I have to order on like e or drive to St. Louis which is fine.
@@melissab.3377 it's always great to try before you buy. If you consider trying an all clad pot I put cleaning directions. I suggest an All clad skillet of any size you choose. The all clad model I use is the D5. The only set-back is maintenance. In my opinion, it's worth it because they will last for a very long time. The best way I found to clean them is to let it cool in the sink, next use bar keepers friend (liquid form not powder) and scrub the heavy food off. Do that with your favorite sponge. I like the Scotch ones because they have both a soft and scrub side gentle enough for the finish. Next do a quick pass with bar keepers friend on the bottom in case of spilling on the range. Just be careful to be quick about using the bar keepers friend; or else it will tarnish the finish if it isn't rinsed thoroughly and right away. I learned to make sure to rinse around the handle joint carefully when I first used these. The last thing is that I do a final pass all over the pot with dawn dish soap. (I use a foaming pump for my dawn soap because I think that it's too concentrated on its own) This really makes the finish like new and removes excess bar keepers friend. Once thoroughly rinsed, be sure to thoroughly dry it so that any remaining drips don't tarnish the finish. It seems like a pain at first and they are heavy but to me it's worth it. They cook beautifully and look stunning. These are just things that I wished I knew. I ended up purchasing a second covered skillet because I tarnished the first one. Both are still used 😊 one is just prettier than the other. One last thing, it's helpful to wipe the range prior to use. This prevents anything being cooked onto the finish from the stovetop.
Good set to display and order take out daily
🤣🤣🤣
Good honest review. I'll stick to cast iron because these are just to fragile for me
I've had my Caraway set for over a year now, and they are definitely starting to lose their non-stick coating. Also a couple pans have a scratch in them already :( We always hand wash and use silicone utensils.
New subscribers love you video 🥰🥰🥰
I recently bought 3 pieces of Staub cookware, a Dutch Oven, Frying Pan and Traditional Skillet. It cost me more than $1,000 those tree pieces of cookware. To be honest it do not matter if you buy a higher end cookware because all of them have their pros and cons. My first disappointment was that food sticks, you can’t cook with heat more than medium low because it would burn the food, and when it come to cleaning, it requires time and care because of the fragile ceramic exterior and inner enameled. The Enameled stains very easily and don’t come out completely spotless after washing it throughly a few times, I’ve to add boiling water with 2 to 3 tbsp of baking soda per manufacturing instructions to remove the stains every time I used the cookware, the stains come off, but the time you have to put into caring the cookware is a headache. If you do not have the time to baby sit and care for such a expensive cookware is not recommended either. And for the things a have read about the Le Creuset, the cookware also has it’s pros and cons as Staub.
Staub really can handle high heat, but you have to maybe a but liberal with the fat. Let the pan heat fully, add fat and let that heat fully, then add ingredients. Im not precious with my staub pieces. They get used on high and washed in the sink 🤷♂️
Hi Emily, what is the best set you would recommend? I almost bought this set for upcoming closing, but after seeing your video, I'm rethinking my decision.
I’ve honestly just been enjoying my cast irons for the time being. They are nontoxic and once they are seasoned well, they work great!
@@EmilyPerrySLP Thank you
For all this reason it’s why I’m switched to cast iron. Omg they are so non stick after I cured them even though they preseason. Anyways I now only cook in stainless steel and cast and now I’m looking for some ceramic bcuz I do need some cook pans for those gentle low to medium food I cook. Lol funny right. I’m planning on the green pan… they have some beautiful looking ones lately.
Yes I agree cast iron is actually really enjoyable to cook on. I never really realized that until I started using them more and learning how to season them.
What stainless steel brand would you recommend?
What type of pans did you end up getting I need nontoxic pans and I do cook every meal fresh so what would you recommend?
I’m honestly just loving cast iron the best! They are non toxic (just not nonstick) but I’ve enjoyed using them for almost everything and I just keep them well seasoned!
@@EmilyPerrySLP how do you season your cast iron? What oil do you use and what temperature
What kind of pan would you recommend? What do you use?
The non toxic is a non negotiable for our family, so for now we’ve given up on the nonstick aspect, and have just better worked on our cast iron skills. Honestly, we’ve been rather pleased with how easy they are to maintain. Very cost effective as well.
Can you share what pans you’re planning to get that is an investment and good quality? Thank you ❤️
I haven’t found a non toxic/non stick alternative yet, but currently I just cook in my cast irons and love those! They are non toxic just not non stick. And I think my plan will be to save up and purchase a couple Le Creusets over time.
Thank you for this review! I just ordered a set but it is on back order.it won't ship until the end of April. My husband is the one that cooks and he likes to crank up the heat. Kinda was on the fence for awhile. Now rethinking my decision 🤔What pots and pans did you end with?
Thanks for the feedback! I have yet to order new pots, but going to make an investment in a Le Creuset Dutch oven first I think! Let me know how your husband likes the pots!
Look into the Ninja Foodi cookware
@@EmilyPerrySLP the entire Le Creuset cookware line is a solid investment.
@@ephektz I believe it! Still on my list!
I have le creuset pots and I love them. I just need a couple of healthy ceramic and nonstick light pans for making crepes and I don’t know what to get yet. If anyone knows pls post a link. Le Creuset are amazing. They also have a stainless steel enameled pot for soups, I have mine in red and I love it!
Hi! Which brand of higher-end pan did you end up investing in?
Right now I’m just enjoying using cast iron. I would love a Le Creuset but will need to wait until a later time to purchase. Just not at the top of the expense list for us right now. The cast iron are non toxic though, and actually super easy to maintain!
@@EmilyPerrySLP yo, cast iron is where it's at, girl!
@@laurafroese I have learned that! I love mine now!
Hey 👋🏾 So which pans non toxic non stick do you recommend? I have hex clad but found out that it may be toxic and it only passes the egg test with oil more than I would want to use on a regular basis 🫤 Lecruset or Staub non toxic nonstick ?
I bought this set also. So dissatisfied. The lids alone scratched the entire top of every pot and pan.
This was the most useful review of these pans. Thank you! I was thinking of buying these cause they’re so beautiful but I can’t use pots/pans that I have to be soooo careful with. Also, fyi the claims they are “safer” than other nonstick pans are about PFOA in Teflon pans which are now irrelevant as since 2013- manufacturers of nonstick pans meet the federal standards for safety so Caraway is marketing something that is no longer an issue.
that may be true, but..... however other materials used for nonstick in the pans used these days will possibly be claimed to be not good for you in the future. Like Asbestos now being no longer on automobile brake system, that doesn't mean the other materials used now in current brake pads won't cause health hazards.
PTFE is still used in non stick pans and it is toxic no matter what
You should not cool off any type of hot pan right away. All pans should be cool before washing. And cast iron takes way more time to care for them properly.
A lot of recipes call for “medium high heat”. Yeah these aren’t for me and my family.
Cause you broke 😂
Any non-stick pan/pot should not be used with high heat. That is the most simple rule about them because you do end up breaking down the non-stick layer over time. Just like how you can’t scrub them. It’s not just a Caraway flaw. So I think it is a little unfair to put them through the ringer for this one detail.
I don’t think I put them through the ringer. Just gave my honest feedback as to why I ultimately didn’t keep them in case others out there are like me, and prefer to cook on high heat. Part of Caraway’s selling point is that the pans will retain and maintain heat due to their design. I just didn’t find that to be true for my dishes.
Point well taken.
@@EmilyPerrySLP Yeah you didn't put them through the ringer. LoL. For me if I get a good 5 years of use out of them I'll be happy. Ceramic isn't the only type I use. Sometimes I use carbon steel, stainless steel, or cast iron depending on what I'm making, but I use my ceramic for most things. So far I get a good char on my veggies and things like that when I need it on my Caraway using medium heat and either olive oil or avocado oil. Sometimes I'll use duck fat or beef tallow for things that helps with getting a decent char. Nothing like cast iron or the others but good enough. I usually baby all my stuff anyways so it's not a big deal for me to wait till my pans get to regular room temp before I wash them. I do that with any cooking material cookware. But that's just me. I've gotten good at it so doesn't take me much time.
Non Stick pans haven't been toxic since 2006....
So literally everything has pros and cons. You listed far more pros than cons as well. MOST reviews are 4.5 to 5.0 stars, but there’s always “that person”. I’ve had mine 2 years and they have been amazing! Still look brand new. I use them like any others stainless steel pan.. except for the scrubber when I hand wash. For that, it’s a gentle brush or sponge.
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them! Like I said, they are a great pan for the right home. I applaud Caraway in many ways! I’ve only tried to share why they ultimately weren’t the best set up for our needs, so as to help someone trying to weigh both sides before buying.
you are not supposed to use metallic utensils any non-stick pans anyway, even if they say its ok, it's just not a good idea.
Basically these pans are not for people who actually cook regularly 😂😂 that's what my husband says too we have two kids and cookware definitely is going to be used to death. Maybe for like people who live alone or just a couple or something but for us family folk we need that heavy duty.
It tells you all of this before you buy them. I’m surprised you didn’t read more about the product before you bought it.
Who washes dishes in cold water?
They aren’t nontoxic
While I appreciate the review a lot of your cons are not isolated to caraway, that’s just ceramic nonstick. And if you want any pan to run the rest of time, you have to take the same expense of care with most pans but especially any ceramic coated material cookware.
I’m sure that’s true! I did away with the “nonstick” brands altogether and have just been loving my cast irons and all clad! My cast iron is pretty much nonstick now and I can be as rough as I need
Seems that you plan to return them from the begging…
A huge pro of caraway is their free returns! Makes it very worth while for people like me, who (as I mentioned) was still on the fence, to be able to try them out risk free!
Far too expensive for made in China. Much better quality is out there and made in Europe
👍Hi, make video on pronunciation 'sh'.
I’ll work on that!
Seriously?
Wow! these people killed over 6,908,554 without firing one shot. And you're giving them money to help them do it again? Or is that their payment for a job well done???
HELLO!!!! YOU WASH IN COLD WATER??? WASHING WHILE HOT IS BEST TIME SO WHATS THE ISSUE???? GO ON....
Do you work for caraway?
MAYBE U DECIDED U COULDN'T AFFORD THEN... IM SORRY
