- We flag Lead and cadmium in ceramic glaze, Glaze degradation and coating breakdown and Thermal shock and structural failure on the Staub and not on the Caraway.
- The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the Staub is Ceramic coating over stoneware/clay body, 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.
