CARAWAY versus BEAUTIFUL by DREW | Which is better?

I'm testing Caraway Cookware versus Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Cookware to find out which is better. I purchased the largest covered sauté pans in each line but both brands sell cookware sets and pans in various sizes. Are Beautiful by Drew pans Caraway dupes?
Please watch my review of the full CARAWAY COOKWARE set before you purchase. The link is below
• Why I returned my Cara...
We'll talk about packaging, price, durability, and cleaning to find out which is the better buy.
Caraway cookware and Beautiful by Drew are made with an aluminum core body, a non-stick enamel coating, and a stainless steel disk on the bottom. That stainless steel disk makes them both compatible with (most) induction cooktops. They both work on gas and electric ranges as well. Both pans are oven safe.
Use medium heat or lower when cooking in these pans.
Caraway cookware is more expensive. This 4.5 quart covered sauté pan cost $145 at the time u purchased it. Caraway Cookware is sold directly to consumers through their website and is also available at Target, and Amazon with select sets also sold at Crate and Barrel. The Caraway cookware sauté pan weighs about 6.88 pounds.
Caraway cookware is handwash only.
The Beautiful by Drew 5.5 quart covered sauté pan cost $59 at the time I purchased it and is available exclusively at Walmart. I was only able to find this particular size and color at Walmart online. Sets in the store were hard for me to find even after visiting several Walmart stores in person. If you find Beautiful cookware on Amazon it's likely to be VERY expensive, about twice the price you would find it at Walmart so please beware of the HUGE mark-up in price.
While this 5.5 quart covered skillet is larger (wider and deeper) than the Caraway Cookware pan it is lighter weighing 4.79 pounds.
The Beautiful by Drew pan heats up VERY quickly and gets VERY hot even on low to medium heat, probably due to the thin aluminum construction. Keep an eye on the temperature or you could burn your dinner in the blink of an eye!
The instructions on Beautiful cookware say that it is dishwasher safe but my common sense tells me that handwashing will extend the life of this pan.
Beautiful by Drew Cookware is not as durable as Caraway Cookware.
The enamel on the lid of the Beautiful by Drew is already beginning to disappear after only a few days. I've only used the lid once and it has been hand washed with a soft cloth twice. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the enamel coating.

Love the review have u seen the members mark dup at Sam’s club. I got the set plus a jumbo sauté pan they have and I’m loving them. Got the cream and gold.

[@bilqisstanko3566]

I’m thinking of getting those. Hope they last long

[@sweetsavant]

Hi Jamaal! I haven't seen the Sam's Club dupe yet. I'll definitely have to check that out. Thanks for the heads up and thank you for watching!

[@Dia_Hunny_Boo]

How are they hold up? I’m thinking about getting the dup.

[@trobinson89]

Such a great recommendation. I bought the Member's Mark set last year, and recently purchased the jumbo cooker last month. I am in love! 👏🏾 Highly recommend.

[@carolynbernal5511]

My Members Mark from Sans has not held up I am super disappointed Everything sticks and the outside has chipped

[@Mrsquick]

I purchased the Beautiful pan and I didn't have any issues with the Beautiful pan enamal. I hand wash and it's still good as new looking. Based on your temp review I adjusted the temp on my stove accordingly. Thanks for the honest review. 😊

I plan to get myself the Drew Barrymore set for Christmas, thank you for the review!

If I got the caraway, I would want the creamy white color and yours stained so I guess I’d rather pay less for the beautiful

[@janiceh4521]

Love the review! Yes the quality is better at almost 3 times the price. I would go Beautiful by Drew and replace it in 2 years if necessary. I try to replace pans every 2 years or so because non stick even with hand washing wears down and I don’t want any chance of ingesting those chemicals. I think Caraway is nice and good quality but it’s a sauté pan. I like cool wear to match and it would be 800-1000 for entire set at the price point. (Dutch oven, small & Lg frying pan, 3 size quart cook pots and sauté pan)

[@shainabede4316]

Stainless steel is the way to go. Nonstick is harm.

[@Amila-ym7ny]

Seems very wasteful and horrible for the environment omg

[@ohhellobeautifulonecreations]

What a wonderful comparison. I would love to have a set of Caraway but I just can’t justify the price right now. I will start saving towards it for sure. 😊

[@Jermandjo]

AMAZING review and comparison! I ordered the beautiful by drew prior to this video. I would love to see how both brands hold up within a few months.

[@TheSongBirdRainStar]

How are you liking the Beautiful pan? I'm considering getting one but read about possible chipping of the coating now I'm nervous😂

I just bought the caraway in the marigold color. I just sent it back because for 400.00 the large pot with the lid had a scratch on it. I was also scared to use it because of stains. So I will just keep looking. You have to read the small print. Costco has them on line as well. You are better off getting them there because you could return it a year later rather than 30 days.

[@sweetsavant]

That's a great tip. THANKS!

[@msslick2000]

I want to switch to ceramic but I can’t commit to the low to medium heat requirement. I don’t cook on high, but I like to boil on high and I was not sure if that is allowed. To some extent I think you get what you pay for with cookware. I purchased an Always pan Dupe from TJ max and it started chipping within a few uses. I never used metal in the pan and hand washed.

[@sweetsavant]

You bring up a good point, Aisha. I will reach out to some manufacturers and see what they recommend for high heat boiling in ceramic cookware. Thanks so much for watching!

[@nessawithsmiles]

@@sweetsavantany update on this?

[@mjoffrion]

I know this an older post, but I've used caraway for three years now and I really enjoy them. I always boil water in my pots on high and haven't had any issues, yet, even though the caraways are not meant to be used past medium heat. I never cook in the pans past medium heat and typically only need a lower heat, as they hold and distribute well. *I will note that as soon as my water is boiling I turn it down to medium or lower. This being said, one of the kids ruined two of my pans by using high heat and now, I'm thinking about getting the Beautiful set.

Caraway big thing is non toxic which is more then just being ceramic . I wonder how safe or durable it is. Some pans are always great in the beginning

[@sweetsavant]

You're absolutely right, durability is the key. Most pans start off great but not all can stand the test of time and only time will tell!. Thanks for watching

[@TAS1965]

Drew's....Free from Forever Chemicals, the Beautiful 12 pc Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware Set is made with non-toxic, healthy ceramic non-stick coating that is PTFE, PFOA & PFOS free.

[@jahmiahouser3857]

I was thinking the same thing. I have some Always and Caraways. I made the purchase for health reasons not just non stick capability. However, Beautiful claims to not have any forever chemicals but the others also don't have lead and cadmium. The others also say they don't release harmful toxins while anodizing with heat. I personally experienced the headaches with Hexclad and I used to love that brand. I guess stay tuned and we will find out.

[@cavenavasagam6461]

Beautiful is excellent for the Price and lighter, more surface. I don't mind cooking on low temp plus I don't walk away when I cook.

[@zizibe218]

I have zero patience so I'm gonna go with Drew's lol

I have my beautiful set now since July 2023 and mine are still great! Also, i know you shouldn’t put them in the dishwasher but i do most of the time and the nonstick hasn’t changed and they still look like new.

Interesting comparison! I'll look into this. Thanks for the suggestion

for saving energy i would use the Beautiful , uses less gas and the caraway uses to much packaging

Can you compare the Caraway, Beautiful and Sam's Club cookware?

I feel like you're biased

[@sweetsavant]

That's interesting. I've only discussed my experiences that I've documented here on this channel. You can see them in this video as well as the previous videos I've done using Caraway Cookware. You can decide for yourself if you choose to buy one.

[@momoney7648]

Imho her review was completely UN-biased. She did a really good job of telling abt the products and SHOWING how they would work as well.
