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 kzbin.info/aero/PL2qWKjrsTSmcwXYHoGjJKVyt-UB2Bwg7t

[@lakendrabrewer6615]

I have a navy set. Haven’t cooked on it much l, but so far so good. No stains so far

[@3hourtour964]

Thanks for your detailed review. My primary goal is to find a pan set where the inside cooking surface will not disintegrate over time. I have babied a set of All-Clad pans for three years and the inside surface is flaking off. As an aside ...try Aldi Radiance Cleaning Eraser for cleaning literally anything.

[@classiladi84]

I was going to ask would you purchase it in a darker color

[@Freeworld856]

Have you found a good cookware set? I’m on the hunt right now and I can’t seem to find any without bad reviews. I’m a new subscriber and I’m keeping a close eye on your recommendations… Thank you for your review, it stopped me from wasting my time ordering this set…🙏🏼

[@AlleyRae98]

I'll be looking for this video on your channel (if its not already up). I'm personally interested in the Navy set, so I would like to see the difference.

[@trmkjm1832]

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!

[@TashaWashington]

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.

[@bkspielman0]

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!

[@Gabriela-wz1ef]

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!

[@damionbelvin2190]

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'm still thinking about getting another set. Crate and Barrel has a gorgeous green set with gold hardware. I think about buying it almost every day even though I know it's not as durable as I need it to be. The nonstick surfaces work very well. I did enjoy cooking with them Thanks for watching!

[@debipowell9509]

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!!!!

[@marcydavis3493]

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

[@DaveSParty]

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.

[@sweetsavant]

Hi Dave, I was able to get a full refund for the cookware set. I was a bit nervous because I was afraid they might think I abused the pans and only deserved a partial refund. I really did try to be gentle with the pans. I agree that the outer coating seems very thin. Maybe they will improve the coating to stand up to use better. Thanks so much for watching.

[@susanpritchett896]

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!

[@gospelician]

[@bree5609]

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

[@sweetsavant]

I really think they are a good set of pans but the stamp of pans but the staining is a problem. The dark blue color blue color is probably a good idea is probably a good idea to hide stains. I've considered buying another set but I'm not sure yet

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

[@dbkfrogkaty1]

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.

[@sweetsavant]

I'll have a video on carbon steel pans up this week. I love that they're tough and lighter than cast iron. I do still like a non stick pan for quick weeknight dinners. My carbon steel isn't quite non stick enough yet. Thanks for watching!

[@dc5duben96]

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

[@sweetsavant]

Glad to help

[@spudthegreaterusa8386]

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.

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.

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.

I bought these at 10% off and could not be happier. They are gorgeous and the clean up is a breeze. I've had them for 4 months. Because they are so beautiful, I treat them very carefully.....they have never touched anything metal. I bought a special set of silicone to use in these pans. I clean them and dry them then put them away. I have a glass cooktop. So maybe gas doesn't work as well.

[@michaelomay5237]

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

[@michaelomay5237]

FYI I have had my set for over a year and NEVER had my cookware stain like that. I hand wash do not put this in the dishwasher ...so food is never set in. It looks and performs the way it did the very first day. Like with anything the way you take care of it depends on how it looks and lasts. Never use abrasives....will scratch!

Is there a non stick non toxic product that you would recommend as an alternative? looking for a 10/12 inch pan

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.
