Caraway is more than its looks (and the looks are top-notch). I’m Shelby Owens, a Curated Kitchen Expert. I’ve been able to get my hands on some incredible Caraway pieces, and I’m here to tell you all the details. In my time in commercial kitchens, I’ve come to realize that Caraway bake, sizzle, and simmer with the rest of them. Their heat conductivity (due to the ceramic material) will have your dishes turning out better than they ever have.

It’s time to get into the Scandinavian spirit and see why ceramic, why Caraway, and why it’s time to make a move on some of my fav Caraway products.

The Caraway Story: Cooking with Character

Soulful Beginnings

Caraway is actually the name of a seed that’s used as a spice! (I don’t know why I geek out over that stuff). The caraway seed, a staple in European and Western Asian cuisines, has been the secret ingredient of dishes for centuries. From rye bread of Scandinavia to stews of North Africa, caraway seeds have left a huge impact on global cuisine.

Scandinavian Spirit in Every Pan

Caraway cookware, true to its Scandinavian roots, brings a touch of warmth and functionality to your kitchen. The design is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating an experience. The canvas lid holder, stainless steel handles, and thoughtful storage solutions showcase the brand's commitment to both form and function.

A Healthier Way to Cook

All Caraway products are free of Teflon, Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), Polytetrafluoroethylene, and Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). All of those are super hard to pronounce, but you don’t even have to worry about it with Caraway. They pride themselves on ‘healthier cooking.’ By this they mean no worries, just clean cooking.

Caraway's ceramic cookware is a breath of fresh air in the kitchen. The ceramic coating provides a safe non-stick surface, ensuring that your dishes are free from harmful chemicals.

The kitchen world is saturated with options, Caraway stands out by embracing the wisdom of ancient times while incorporating modern innovations. The result? Cookware that is not only a joy to use but also safe and a statement of style in your kitchen.

Why Ceramic?

Stovetop to Oven Versatility

Ceramic cookware, known for its excellent heat retention and even distribution, seamlessly transitions from stovetop to oven. This versatility opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to experiment with a range of cooking techniques. Whether you're searing on the stovetop or slow-cooking in the oven, Caraway's ceramic cookware has got you covered.

Less Oil, More Flavor

One of the key benefits of ceramic cookware is its non-stick properties, which significantly reduce the need for excessive oil in your cooking. This not only makes your dishes healthier but also allows the natural flavors of your ingredients to shine through. Say goodbye to the guilt of indulging in your favorite dishes!
