Ceramic Baking Sheet vs Love-to-Bake Xylan Nonstick Carbon Steel Bakeware Set: which is safer?
Caraway Ceramic Baking Sheet is the clear pick. Sunbeam Love-to-Bake Xylan Nonstick Carbon Steel Bakeware Set 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 Sunbeam.
- We flag Nonstick coating degradation and fume risk, Coating chip or flake ingestion, Carbon steel rust if coating fails and PFAS and undisclosed nonstick chemistry on the Sunbeam 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 Sunbeam 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 →
