I might buy another set in a darker color...I'm still thinking about it. Here's a link to the playlist of dishes I cooked using Caraway Cookware kzfaq.info/sun/PL2qWKjrsTSmcwXYHoGjJKVyt-UB2Bwg7t

I was literally getting ready to purchase and was led to look up reviews. And thank God I did , I do not want to pay top dollar for this set or any with this kinds of results. Thanks for sharing an honest review 👏🏼

I totally agree! I have Caraway frying pan with same color and it is heavily stained now with normal use. The ceramic coating in the inside is also such a disappointment, initially (first 1 month) food doesn't stick, but now stuff sticks heavily and I have to use more oil than usual to prevent sticking. I followed the manufacture's recommendation (hand washing, no metal scrubber, low-medium heat, etc) but this still happened. This brand is totally overpriced and doesn't live up to the hype. I wish I had watched your video before buying this. Oh well, learned from mistake!

just prior to hitting "place order" I found your video. THANK GOD. I was between the greenpan set and this set, but this set is so much prettier I wanted it. Now, I'm passing. I'm just not spending that amount of money on a set that is so fragile it chips, and those stains are A NO GO TO ME!!!! I'm so bummed!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Bar keepers friend makes everything look brand new again. Le Creuset has that lifetime warranty you can’t beat imo. My cookware is in the color meringue and it’s held up perfectly over the years. I say get the pans you love, and don’t be deterred by a bit of wear and tear ladies, you got this!

Thank you for the great review!! Absolutely kept me away from wasting almost 400$ on something that would have seriously pissed me off.

I received my Caraway as a Christmas gift 2020 from my daughter and I love cooking with this set of pots and pans. But yes, you are right on point about the staining and the chipping. I have the blue set and they are beautiful!

Good luck with your return. It seems you did everything right in the way you kept the shipping box and materials and returned them all in a like fashion. The paint coating on the surface is very thin - you can see that. But I love the way you gave the pluses as well as the minuses that prompted your decision to send them back Again, best of luck with the return and thank you for the review.

My stepdaughter has this exact same set. I had never heard of it before so I decided to check it out. Let me say for me, I use All-Clad cookware for my general cooking. But for certain foods I use carbon steel and cast iron pans. I don't care about how my cookware looks. Carbon steel can be pretty rough looking, but it cooks like a dream. Cast iron is best for high temperature cooking (searing meat). But it you like good looking cookware, take some Bar Keepers Friend to your All-Clad, wash it up, and it will shine like new. Of course the down side to CS & CI is the weight. So far my stepdaughter likes her cookware. She prefers the lighter weight. We will see how it holds up.

How disappointing! They are so pretty and I've been tempted. I might hold off a while and see if they get a better outer coating.

A lot of over priced junk being sold out there. Thanks for your honesty.

Appreciate the honest review. My husband is the chef at home and he is not gentle with the pots and pans. My MIL will use a stainless steel utensils so I guess this is not for our household. If I live alone maybe. Alas the search continues. Bless your ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! I have been wanting this set in the cream color for a while now. I’m so glad I stumbled across this informative review - it has saved me from being super disappointed and going through the hassle of a return. Again, thank you so much for making this!

I had this in my cart for Black Friday but decided to do a little more research. So glad I found your video!

I came here for an honest review prior to purchasing! Thank you for your honesty! My heart was pretty set; I’ll continue using my set that’s not as expensive but works just fine. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this. I was going to buy this exact set too. I’m holding out and will continue my search for better quality vs just the beautiful aesthetics.

Thank you for how in-depth this was! Our family cooks almost daily, too, and we likewise have many cooks and sliding on the stove grate sometimes occurs. I'll be passing these up and checking out your channel for more reviews because we need some DURABLE pots and pans!

I was almost tricked into buying these 😂 I can’t have pans that I have to be so careful with. I will stick with my stainless steel and cast iron! Thank you for such a thorough and clear review!

Eslite was my purchase because it safe Non Stick easy as can be wash up no more scrubbing I had had it with stains and chips and having them so so fragile so I am finally happy

ahhh you're a gem 💎 you answered the induction question w/ finesse & right away. Much appreciated. I'm subscribed now ✌️

I have a set, and I absolutely love them. It tells you plainly on the instructions to add a bit of oil, but you didn't add enough and spread it around.

This is a great review. Very comprehensive. Almost purchased the set and then decided to Google reviews and your channel came up. The chipping and staining within 30 days was a major reason why I will not buy the set. It seems as though Caraway is just too delicate, low to medium heat, no sliding across the grates, etc. Definitely does that looks nice, but if it’s not functional for everyday cooking, it’s worthless.

Thank you for such a fantastic, in-depth review! While researching two sets, I've been going back and forth, trying to decide between the Caraway and another brand. Your review has definitely helped me make my decision!

You made a smart choice. I had the pan and even he inside doesn't last very long. It can get a chip and from there it grows and ruins the finish. then the bottom outside the aluminum colored base ring gets heavily stained. Impossible to get clean.Less than a year stains. on the inside and everything sticks now.

I’m glad I watched this. I’ve been eyeing these. And in the meantime I bought less expensive blue diamond pans from kohls. And you know what those blue diamond pans are affordable and holding up. So glad I didn’t spend a lot of money on these. Thanks for such a great review!

Wow. Those pans are actually GORGEOUS! I have been curious about this product ..the stainless steel base info was KEY. thanks for the EVAL! my RV has an induction stove! For everyday too fussy for me but camping in the RV this is lovely!

Thanks for sharing. I think the most important thing you said was that the pans are made of aluminum. Aluminum has been deemed to be unhealthy to cook on so I’m happy you mention that. People you can do your research and see that aluminum is not a good choice.

That was a great review! I’m gonna hold off until they improve the exterior coating!

Thank you so much for this beautifully made honest review. I have been thinking about purchasing these, however I was worried about the staining.

Thanks so much for this review. I was going to buy a set for my daughter, but will definitely rethink my purchase.

Thank you for this! I was thisclose to purchasing the set in cream.

Yea, I had to return a nonstick frying pan I ordered on Amazon for the first-time. I spent close to $60 for it and really wanted to be excited about, but it was just not working no matter what I tried, and the performance only got worse the more I used it. Cheap $20 pans at Sams club actually worked better, but they never last. Finally pulled the trigger on the Ninja foodie never stick 12.5" and I like it. Heat it up for 6 mins at medium heat and do your eggs. works great.

Thank you! I was concerned that the great looking pieces might not stand the test of time and you proved it. Thanks again for saving me some grief!

I bought a gray TFal ceramic skillet for $14 at Marshalls. I use it constantly. No stains, no chips. Works great

I received a set (Terra Cotta) for Mother's Day and I just LOVE this cookware. First the color is so BEAUTIFUL ....very heavy, well constructed. Performance.....the absolutely BEST. Food just glides out of the cookware making clean-up a breeze. My husband had left the burner on low with a plastic utensil in the pan. Needless to say it melted the utensil and I would have laid odds that the pan war ruined. After letting the pan cool I took a dry paper towel and the melted plastic just wiped easily out leaving the beautiful finish. Caraway is an investment for sure but this is the only cookware you will ever need. The Kitchen-aid stand mixer was always my go-to bridal shower gift now it CARAWAY cookware is. The brides-to-be are always thrilled. Thank You Caraway Debi O'May

Thank you so much for your honest review! VERY helpful to someone like me who is debating on what cookware to get!

Love my Caraway cookware. The only thing is I have to hand wash. But I Do agree with you about the stains. I love them so much I decided to just live with it. Mine hasn’t chipped though.

This is really interesting! I haven't had any issues with staining on my set, but I went with green rather than white. I'm wondering if this issue is specific to the white ones?

Thanks for the review. I’m looking for new pans. Your recipes look delicious too!

I have the green set, and I haven't had any issues with staining or chips. Maybe green doesn't stain as easily? I also have a glass-top stove, so I don't bang the pans against metal when I cook. I also use a plastic sink mat (to avoid banging pans on the stainless sink) and dry them on a mat, not a rack. I really love my set, though they do require special care.

Oh no, it’s the exact set and color I was going to order lol.

Great review! I’m relieved to be informed about this new, mixed metals with ceramic surfaces, concept cookware. I’ve been on the fence. I’ll eventually decide on one ceramic ‘fry’ pan, and stay with my friendly old hardworking cookware. Thanks. Very much. Happy trails.

That is such a shame, that set was BEAUTIFUL !!!

Love this review! You answered all my questions about this set! That staining was an immediate no for me!

This is a very thorough review, thank you. I love the storage solution, but the chipping would be upsetting.

I had the same issue. Actually very disappointing given how expensive they are. The paint is gorgeous but it is the thinest layer of pain that scratches extremely easy.. The non-stick is also pretty bad. I bought the set because they advertised them as being ceramic but it doesn't come close to being as good as full ceramic.

Thank you for your review! I appreciate this very much. Greatly informative.

performance is SO important and these are so amazing I love cooking now. little chips etc gives it character and the performance never waivers. much rather have great food over worrying about a stain .

Thanks for the video. If you record in 60 frames per second you can do smoother slow motion video clips. Just the clips you want to slow down.

Thank you so much for the review! I just bought some but, were on the fence if I should keep them or not. You helped me make my decision to send them back. I used my Cookware a lot so, I don't want to have to worry about getting them chipped. Glad I found you! I subcribed!

Thank you for the video ! I was about to purchase and thought to see some reviews . So informative thank you

Great review!! I’m so 💔 because I wanted to order this set so bad. New subbie for those recipes! 😋

Thanks for the review! I was tempted by this brand thinking it would be a good, healthy option to replace my old Teflon set - plus they look so nice. I ended up going with a few Xtrema 100% ceramic pieces, but now I don’t have to second guess my choice!

Thanks for this review! I was on the fence about buying this set and it's definitely an investment, you saved me some money. 🙂

Now THAT’S a review! Thank you!

I hope they listen to consumers and make a couple tweaks. 1. Can we get just a non-painted outside (metal only) that way there is no chipping. 2. Can we get gold/brass handles 3. Can we get a 8 inch (mini) pan? They do those 3 things and I will consider getting a set. I love cooking and I care about my pans but painted outside pans while may be aesthetic they do not hold up like straight stainless steel pans. I do appreciate their no rivets interior and design overall being non toxic- ceramic.

Damn I was about to buy these very same pans. Glad I saw your video first. Yes it’s disappointing these beautiful pans don’t hold up

Thank you for your review! I got hungry watching all the dishes you made 😂😂

Great review, thank you 🙏

Ceramic cookware can chip. No surprise. Be careful with it. If you are not careful stick with stainless steel or carbon steel.stains? You should see my carbon steel pan…UG-LY….but it cooks fine. My Caraway has no problems. This video did convince me to get the datk blue model.

Thank you for this! With me always cooking chili, making spaghetti sauce and soups I definitely don’t want any stains! I won’t be buying!

Love the color of this set thanks so much for the review

Great review! Really helpful. ❤

Just save that money add an extra 100 bucks and spend it on two Le Creuset cookware, they do not compare to these. They are heavier but last a lifetime and you can pass them on to your kids - when looking for pan spend the money on stuff that has been around for a long time.

Thanks for your honesty!

Great rundown, really appreciate the video

I can see why it chipped on the grates. I have the ivory set but my stove is a glass top so I haven’t had any issues with chips or stains. It still looks as good as the day I bought it. If my late husband had been the one using the set he’d have ruined it completely by now 😂

funny that they call that "dutch oven" when it's just a regular pot with ceramic coating. Also funny how they try to glorify all these nonstick coockware with fancy packaging, descriptions and manual with the same instructions that demand you extreme care (low to medium heat, don't put it in the dishwasher, don't use metal utensils,etc. Makes my eyes roll everytime i see it) but written in a prittier way. They make it seem like you were buying some really awaseome exclusive set but they all end up being the same disposable pans but more expensive. Just use carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel, honestly

Thank you for this! Your recipes look amazing! I am about to bite the bullet and buy the cookware and the bake set, but I was curious: Did you repurchase in a darker color?

Great and honest review. I was going to order a set but have since decided not to. Bummer.

I really want this set but in the green. I think I'll try it for 30days and see how I like it. I'm so over my husband's cookware and want something that looks nice and is non-toxic/non-stick. Wish me luck!

Thank you for the review... very helpful!

Thank you! This was very informative.

Neoflam Retro Nonstick Ceramic cookware is the best cookware ever I purchased in my life and nothing can compare to it.

Thank you for this review!

i appreciate this review! thank you!

Shocking! Guess I’ll take this one off my list.

Even if you buy a different color, these pans will still chip and look awful again so I wouldn't bother. Yes, they look pretty when they are new but for me the "be extra careful" or "don't do this or that" when cooking it's kind of annoying. You want a product that will be sturdy and will last with normal use. I recently bought a set of Ninja Foodi Never stick premium and I love it. I just subscribed. I love your videos!

Excellent review. Thank you!

Nope. Those stains and chips would bother me as well. This set is way too delicate for my liking

My sister just bought a Caraway set and so far she loves it. It replaced her Calphalon set.

So glad I found your video before I ordered these

Excellent review. Your experience doesn't support the price. If I spend $400 for four pans and three lids, they better outlive me! I bought a $175 set of Kirkwood made in Thailand from Costco ten years ago and they are bad ass! They're high quality stainless that I can use oven cleaner to get baked on grime off. It pays to shop around and watch reviews like yours!

You have a beautiful kitchen - great review

Stains and everyday wear seem natural, not sure it is worth returning for that if it still cooks well? Thanks for the review!

Definitely was considering this set and finally purchasing myself some real cookware. For $400, I don’t need it to be chipping. Thanks for the review, new to your channel and love it!

thanks for the video, saves me some time money and headache

Yeah I have the beautiful silver color and I know the stains are a huge pain but still best pan I have ever bought as it should be though because they are crazy expensive

I get her point however my whole reason to buy these is they are the only true non toxic pans I have found. So they may still be worth it for me. I just won’t get the white haha

I wonder if they have improved the coating since. It's expected for outside wear at the bottom. It has no effect on performance. As for staining, i would get a darker pan. Any acidic foods would eat into a lighter coating.

So helpful, thank you!

Woooow! I'm so glad I saw this.

If I may ask, what was your shipping cost for the return? I saw that returns are at buyer's expense, I wanted to have an idea as to what that could be. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for saving me from my wife's ire. If I had ordered these for her, it wouldn't end up pretty in the end!

That’s a bummer, I’m considering buying some. I was looking at the cream but like you said maybe a darker color would be better

Thanks! After seeing your video I did some more research on Reddit and see this is the most common experience. I’m disappointed because they are so pretty but will “stick” with using my money to moving everything over to enameled cast iron

I guess I’ll try only the sauté pan in gray. I cook a lot with red sauce so that will really suck if it stains it but I’ll try one and stay safe . Will be afraid if I do the whole set . Please let me know if u find a better pot and good looking too jajaj

This video was very helpful thank you so much.. Just starting buying my cookwares and Caraway was definitely going to be my first option.. but now I’m looking at Carote.. Could you please do a review on the carote cookware for me please? I would really appreciate it..

Yeah if they are not dishwasher safe than I doubt they will last for a very long time and for that price I’m expecting the quality to last for years !

Okay girl- I’m desperate for a new durable but safe and nonstick set of pans. Is there a set you recommend more than the others?I want one that doesn’t get hot handles. Thanks for your video!
