Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time on the Caraway and not on the Wilton.
- We flag PTFE thermal degradation and fume inhalation, Coating flaking and ingestion of non-stick particles and Loss of non-stick efficacy over time without safety loss on the Wilton and not on the Caraway.
- The Caraway is ceramic nonstick coating where the Wilton is Steel with gold non-stick coating (type unspecified), 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.
- We are less certain about the Wilton grade, at 35% 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 →
