Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE coating degradation and thermal fume risk, Aluminum leaching from substrate, Nonstick coating flaking and ingestion and Lack of safety certification or third-party testing on the Calphalon and not on the Caraway.
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the Calphalon.
- The Calphalon is Nonstick coating (type unspecified) 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.
- We are less certain about the Calphalon grade, at 35% confidence against 92%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
