Dutch ovens, oh, how we love thee. This discounted Caraway Dutch oven adds so much versatility to recipes requiring low-and-slow cooking. It’s much lighter than traditional cast iron options—looking at you Le Creuset!—but still performs beautifully for braising, simmering, sauteing and more.

Bake up a storm (or strudel or snickerdoodles) with the Caraway baking sheet duo. Secure the set in one of seven Classic colors, and shave $$$ off your bill. We love that the 18×13-inch large size fits king-sized portions of everything from sweet potatoes to cookies. Seriously—there’s enough room to feed a whole party. And the 15×10-inch medium size is perfect for smaller servings. Like the Holy Sheet pan from Great Jones, this pretty pan performs as well as it looks, thanks to a slick surface and generously sized handles.

How We Tested Caraway
To date, our team of expert editors and writers have tested over half a dozen Caraway products, including:
Our overall evaluation is positive, even when compared to top competitors like GreenPan and HexClad. We, of course, love the colorful exterior of the pretty pans, bakeware and kitchen tools, but their performance is more than just a pretty face.
When evaluating 17 ceramic cookware brands, for example, our Product Testing Team gave Caraway’s fry pan the “most stylish” accolade but was still impressed by its performance. Right out of the gift-ready box, the team could tell this pan was high-quality and durable. In our cooking tests, the Caraway pan browned chicken and cooked eggs with zero sticking. The handle also stayed cool throughout testing. Our crepe test also yielded quality results (again, no sticking!), but we did find some competitors provided a more even cook.
Former bakery owner Allison Robicelli was equally wowed by Caraway bakeware. She tested sticky buns, sweet corn muffins and coconut macaroons to see just how nonstick this set really is. Each bake either slipped seamlessly from its respective pan, save for a rogue walnut or two from the sticky buns. Any sugary residue quickly washed off in the sink. “There’s no denying that Caraway bakeware is pricey, but there’s also no denying that it’s worth every single penny,” Allison says. “This is a bakeware set that, if cared for correctly, may very well last you a lifetime. It’s a worthwhile investment that will likely save you money in the long run.”
Senior Shopping Editor Katie Bandurski has also put her fair share of Caraway gear through the paces. Over her seven-year tenure on staff, she’s tried the saute pan, two fry pans, Dutch oven and food storage containers. “I’ll admit—I was a little rough on my first set of pans. I abused them on high heat and used metal utensils,” Katie says. “But on my second go, I’ve stuck to the care instructions and it’s made all the difference. My fry pan slips eggs around just as easily as it did six months ago. With a little effort, Caraway cookware is well worth the reward.”
