Ceramic-Coated Baking Sheet
The most transparent 'clean' ceramic brand on the market, providing actual lab results for their mineral-based coating. Excellent for aesthetic-focused kitchens that prioritize a PFAS-free lifestyle.
Quality & Materials
Aluminized steel body with a mineral-based ceramic coating. Free of lead, cadmium, and all PFAS (including GenX).
Evidence & Testing
Provides SGS testing reports confirming the absence of harmful leaching materials.
Brand Transparency
Highly transparent regarding the chemical composition of their ceramic coating compared to traditional non-stick brands.
Value Assessment
Very expensive; while it performs excellently initially, the non-stick properties of ceramic typically decline after 12-24 months of heavy use.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike many competitors claiming to be 'green,' Caraway publishes third-party testing for heavy metals. However, it loses points for value as the ceramic coating is less durable than metal or cast iron.
