Love it
Amazing Ceramic Pan – Healthy Cooking Made Easy!I’ve been using this ceramic pan, and it’s easily one of the best kitchen purchases I’ve made. The non-stick surface is truly impressive — I can cook eggs, veggies, and even pancakes without any oil, and nothing sticks! Cleanup is a breeze with just a quick rinse and wipe.What I love most is that it's free from harmful chemicals like PTFE, PFOA, and Teflon, so I feel good cooking for my family. It heats up evenly and retains heat well, which makes cooking faster and more efficient. The handle stays cool and feels sturdy, and the pan itself is lightweight but durable.If you’re looking for a healthy, non-toxic alternative to traditional non-stick pans, this ceramic pan is a must-have. Highly recommend it!

Works well and worth the extra money
I have tried a lot of PTFE free non stick pan. This is one of the more expensive ones but it had great reviews on Wirecutter so I gave it a try. It works very well. It took a while to adjust to the better heat distribution. It's best to use it on medium heat only and it gets hot very fast. Nothing ever sticks to it. Even fried eggs turned out perfect. You need very little oil. The surface stains easily but the special scrubbing pad that came with it wipes them clean very easily.I would say it's the best pan I tried so far.

Nonstick is nonexistent
I purchased this pan about one month ago, and have used it daily since receiving it. And I will say - this Caraway fry pan - well there’s something just not right about it. Something that just doesn’t add up. After a single use, food began adhering to the pan’s cooking surface. Not just eggs, mind you; which is probably the main thing most of us hope to use our nonstick cookware for. Everything sticks. Bacon sticks. Sausage sticks. Potatoes stick. Meats, veggies - shoot, a slice of bread sticks to this pan. Would you like to simply to warm something from the fridge, reheat leftovers? Nope. It will stick. If you can cook something in this pan, it will stick to this pan. And not just a little bit of stick. No, no, no, my friends. Look to some of the other very low reviews. See the video evidence. There’s a whole lot of stick. A tear your food up trying to get it out of the pan and on to the plate kind of stick. And then a soak in hot water and scrape stuff out kind of stick. And then a do it again to get what you couldn’t get out after all that kind of stick. Following the recommended cleaning method of a bringing a cup of water with two tbls of baking soda to boil for several minutes and then rinsing…stuff sticks. No amount of cleaning, nor method of cleaning seems to affect the performance. Neither does cooking technique. Cook on low, stuff sticks. Cook on medium, stuff sticks. Cook with oil, sticks. No oil, sticks. Truly preposterous. This said, however, this is not merely a poor non stick pan; it is a poor pan. The handle, though ergonomically sound and comfortable to grip, transfers heat far too readily. On a gas range, it quickly becomes ‘too hot to handle.’ Beyond the five minute mark, even on low heat, you will be burned by the handle. Additionally, the pan’s exterior surface cannot be kept clean, which for a daily use pan isn’t critical in my book, excepting that the finish seems designed to have stuff actually adhere to it. Again, not especially off putting for me as I believe in function over aesthetics, but I find it strange this should be so. That said, my expectations for this pan were fairly straight forward. I hoped for a decently made nonstick pan that would heat mostly evenly, that would be mostly nonstick, that would function in my working kitchen alongside some other quality cookware that consists exclusively of copper clad stainless steel and cast iron. I looked very forward to a more healthful alternative to the everyday nonstick more typically relied upon. And I hoped to get perhaps as much as a year’s use of the pan before having to replace it. I take care of my cookware. I always use soft implements, never metal, and always rely upon gentle cleaning methods - soft sponges and plastic scrappers only if necessary. Given the performance of this pan, at this point, however, I am disappointed across the board. I also must and do question any and all claims made as to this cookware’s efficacy. As well as the efficacy of any claims or reviews that would laud its performance as commendable. I am, in short, severely skeptical. I know my way around a kitchen, and as far as I’m concerned, I will not deign to so much as boil water in it at this point. It has no redeeming qualities given its performance. And given its performance, I cannot help but to doubt its other claims as to being a healthier alternative to other cookware options. Given the $100 price tag for the pan, one must conclude that such a high relative cost is primarily for covering marketing and profit. And I would challenge anyone willing to make contrary claims as to this pan’s performance to prove such claims as anything better than specious. From my experience, this appears to be a clear matter of consumer grift. Given what my experience with this product has been, there is simply no other reasonable explanation. Out of the box, it does look nice; it does feel nice. First cook: it works nice. And then the honeymoon is over. And the fight is on. Sorry to say, if you bought this thing, you already lost.

EXACTLY as advertised! That's a rare experience.
Love, love, love this pan. Everything as advertised and then some. I was be saving my nickels, dimes, and pennies to build a full set. The quality is outstanding, color beautiful, and the weight is perfect. Color me impressed!

Quality Pans
Really love these pans. I have quite a few now. They have some weight to them which I really like and clean up is a breeze. I like the colors a lot too. One of the main reasons I tried them is because they do not have the chemicals that I wanted to be avoiding. They aren’t cheap, but they’re worth every penny.

Stick-free and easy clean with one problem.
Just getting into these Caraway pans and so far I'm finding them to be amazing except for one thing. The griddle and the smaller square pan bow up in the middle which makes it impossible to keep the cooking oil underneath the food. It all runs to the edges. The good points are that the pans are stick-free and super easy to clean. Small things, like sausage patties in the square pan tend to keep sliding off the middle and down to the edges because of how stick-free the pan is how it gets a dome in the middle when it gets hot. I wrote a review on the Caraway site about the griddle bowing up in the middle and got a a sympathetic email back basically reiterating what I said and offering a new pan. I asked what good a new griddle that would do the same thing do me and what they should do is figure out how to make a griddle that doesn't bow up in the middle. They sent me a new griddle anyway and, yes, it bows up in the middle. At least they were semi-responsive. But I'm loving the stick-free and easy clean!

Awesome Pan!
Excellent pan. Perfect addition to my set. Love the color. My advice is to truly listen to the temperature instructions the company gives you for best use of their product - my brother told me he got his too hot and the enamel peeled off. I have not had this issue (because I have followed the heating instructions), but it’s something to be aware of.
