Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the Tramontina.
- We flag Aluminum leaching and Anodize layer degradation on the Tramontina and not on the Caraway.
- The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the Tramontina is anodized aluminum, no nonstick coating, 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.
