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 USA Pan.
- We flag PTFE coating degradation and thermal off-gassing, Aluminum leaching, Non-stick coating flaking or peeling into food and PFAS in non-stick coating (specific chemistry undisclosed) on the USA Pan and not on the Caraway.
- The gap is 95 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
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 →
