Ceramic Baking Sheet vs Double Burner Griddle: which is safer?
Caraway Ceramic Baking Sheet is the clear pick. Imusa Double Burner Griddle carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- 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 Imusa.
- We flag PTFE fume risk (if PTFE-based nonstick), Coating degradation and shedding and Iron leaching from bare steel if coating fails on the Imusa and not on the Caraway.
- 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 Imusa grade, at 45% 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 →
