Advanced Nonstick Cookie Sheet 11” X 17” New - New Home vs Ceramic Baking Sheet: which is safer?
Caraway Ceramic Baking Sheet is the clear pick. Anolon Advanced Nonstick Cookie Sheet 11” X 17” New - New Home carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE thermal decomposition and fume risk, Coating degradation and microparticle release, Aluminum leaching and Undisclosed proprietary coating composition on the Anolon and not on the Caraway.
- We flag Coating degradation and metal substrate exposure, Aluminum substrate leaching (if aluminum core) and Thermal shock and coating fracturing on the Caraway and not on the Anolon.
- The gap is 85 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Anolon grade, at 35% confidence against 80%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
