Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation and flaking, Thermal decomposition of coating above safe limits and Maintenance and bacterial growth (cooling rack) on the Amazon Basics and not on the Caraway.
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the Amazon Basics.
- The Amazon Basics is Ceramic nonstick coating on steel; no PTFE confirmed where the Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 85 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
