Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the Good Cook.
- We flag Nonstick coating degradation and flaking, PTFE fume risk (if PTFE-based coating) and Coating leachables (uncharacterized polymers) on the Good Cook and not on the Caraway.
- The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the Good Cook is Steel sheet with nonstick coating, type unspecified, 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 Good Cook grade, at 35% confidence against 92%, because it discloses less.
