Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the GreenPan.
- We flag Nonstick coating degradation and particle shedding, Coating composition uncertainty and Thermal fume release from nonstick layer on the GreenPan and not on the Caraway.
- The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the GreenPan is Nonstick coating, type unspecified; aluminum substrate, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 30 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the GreenPan grade, at 45% 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 →
