  • We flag PTFE fume risk (if coating composition), Coating degradation and flaking over time and Steel oxidation if coating is breached on the and not on the Caraway.
  • The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the is Steel with unspecified nonstick coating, 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.
