In addition to classic, tried-and-true cookware, many new brands have been making major waves in the market. Then, you need to evaluate a pan's performance, style and features. And don't forget about safety. The nonstick coating of the past was often made with chemicals that science has since found to be potentially toxic, which is something you never want to hear when you're talking about food!\r\n\r\nWith all these choices, how can you determine which is the best? Enter ceramic cookware, made famous by social media-viral brands like Caraway<\/a> and GreenPan<\/a>. These brands offer environmentally friendly ceramic alternatives that allow you to continue to use nonstick pans without worry, which is a big part of what makes them appealing. Caraway and GreenPan are also famous for their aesthetics, making cookware with modern designs in multiple colors.\r\n\r\nBut with all the similarities, what are the differences that set them apart from each other? We've tested both brands as part of a massive<\/em> ceramic cookware test<\/a>, and here's what we can tell you about the GreenPan vs. Caraway debate.\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT product_name=\"Caraway\" image=\"1999493\" pr_name=\"Caraway\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/caraway-home.pxf.io\/LKKEQV\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Caraway\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Caraway-Nonstick-Ceramic-Frying-10-5\/dp\/B09SRY5HYM?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_3_name=\"Macy's\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.macys.com%2Fshop%2Fproduct%2Fcaraway-non-stick-ceramic-10.5-fry-pan%3FID%3D13241968\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Macy's\" \/]\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT product_name=\"GreenPan\" image=\"1999491\" pr_name=\"GreenPan\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.tkqlhce.com\/click-9070496-14026057?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenpan.us%2Fcollections%2Fvalencia%2Fproducts%2Fvalencia-pro-ceramic-non-stick-frypan-11-inch%23\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on GreenPan\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GreenPan-CC002453-001-Valencia-Anodized-Induction\/dp\/B07Z4R4JYS?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_3_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2Fkitchen-tabletop%2Fpdp%2Fgreenpan-valencia-pro-healthy-ceramic-nonstick-hard-anodized-aluminum-frying-pan-grpn1296.html%3Fpiid%3D50958726\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_4_name=\"Macy's\" retailers_4_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.macys.com%2Fshop%2Fproduct%2Fgreenpan-valencia-pro-healthy-ceramic-nonstick-8-9.5-11-frypan-set%3FID%3D12303882\" retailers_4_display_text=\"Shop on Macy's\" \/]\r\n

Caraway and GreenPan: At a Glance<\/h2>\r\nWe've tested a wide range of Caraway products, and each time, we've been highly impressed. Not only are they visually stunning, but they also perform exceptionally well in the kitchen. All Caraway products are ethically manufactured by certified partners who ensure safe working conditions and fair compensation. They also ship their products in eco-friendly packaging, free of single-use plastics.\r\n\r\nGreenPan is built tough with layers of stainless steel<\/a> topped with its special ceramic nonstick coating. Like Caraway's ceramic cookware, GreenPan has a nonstick surface that is free from PTFE, PFO and heavy metals. That means you can cook without worrying your food will pick up unwanted chemicals.\r\n

Caraway vs. GreenPan: What's similar?<\/h2>\r\nCaraway and GreenPan are both known for their internet-famous nonstick ceramic cookware. These pots and pans are designed to be functional, nontoxic and<\/em> Instagram-worthy. Both offer nontoxic ceramic coatings that don't leach chemicals into meals. They're also both designed for low to medium temperatures and offer nonstick properties.\r\n

Caraway vs. GreenPan: What's different?<\/h2>\r\nCaraway's cookware is made of ceramic-coated aluminum, which is oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit and compatible with all stovetops, including induction. By contrast, GreenPan's viral cookware features a Thermolon ceramic-based nonstick coating that's oven-safe up to 600 degrees, but not all the cookware they produce is induction compatible. GreenPan also offers various products and designs, including a stainless steel cookware line, cutlery, kitchen accessories and small appliances.\r\n\r\nThe most notable difference between Caraway and GreenPan is that the former is not dishwasher safe, while the latter is. But truthfully, these pans are so easy to clean thanks to their nonstick coating that hand-washing may actually be easier than putting them in the dishwasher!\r\n

How We Tested Caraway<\/h2>\r\n\"Caraway\r\n\r\nWhile writing our Caraway cookware review<\/a>, we were delighted by just how nonstick these pans are. Hardly anything stuck, making cleanup incredibly easy. In our trials, fried eggs effortlessly glided around the pan without any oil! The meats we tested browned beautifully, although we observed some uneven heating, with the center of the pan becoming hotter than the edges.\r\n\r\nOne of our editors who uses Caraway at home had to replace her frying pan after three years of daily use when the nonstick ceramic coating began to chip away from the aluminum core. However, she attributed this to her frequent use of metal utensils and harsh scrubbers, which the manufacturer says to avoid. But she continues to enjoy cooking with her replacement pan, now using nonstick-safe silicone tools.\r\n\r\nOne of our editors was also impressed with the Caraway prep set<\/a>, while another swears by her Caraway's bakeware set<\/a>.\r\n
