Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the Staub.
- We flag Enamel coating degradation over time, Iron leaching from exposed cast iron and Thermal shock fracture of enamel on the Staub and not on the Caraway.
- The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the Staub is enameled cast iron, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 35 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
