Happy Meals Don’t Just Come from McDonald’s…
Believe it or not, they can come from your own kitchen, too. Cooking doesn’t have to feel like Gordon Ramsay calling you an idiot sandwich. Caraway, the internet’s favorite cookware brand, has been committed to bringing the joy back to cooking at home and (spoiler alert) they’re doing a damn good job.
It all started when founder Jordan Nathan accidentally left a Teflon-coated pan on the burner for too long. The resulting fume-filled apartment led to nausea and Teflon-poisoning, but it also led to Jordan seeking a cleaner, safer solution to cooking. Caraway launched a clean, toxin-free alternative for non-stick in 2019 with their now-famous Cookware Set.
Since then, they’ve launched a Bakeware Set, Food Storage Set, and other stunning kitchen accessories, with over 44,000 home cooks rating their products 4.8/5 stars. (Even Kate Hudson uses Caraway.) Cooking shouldn’t feel like a chore, and now it doesn’t have to. But you don’t have to take it from us—here are 10 ways Caraway has sparked joy in home cooks and their kitchens alike:
1. Helping You Stick to Cooking, Not Helping Your Cooking to Stick
Thanks to Caraway’s staple ceramic coating, your food can slide right off the pan without having to empty the bottle of oil every time you’re at the stove. While this has been game-changing for eggs, stir-frys, perfect pancake flips, and more—it’s now changing the baking game, too.
If you’re anything like us and usually have to spend 10 minutes scraping the bottom of the cake from the pan with a fork, then Caraway’s Bakeware Set will be a god-send. Take it from Linda here. Linda knows the vibes.
2. Satisfies the Sweet Tooth
Caraway’s beautifully high-functioning Bakeware Set actually makes us feel like we have a shot at The Great British Bake Off. The 11 pieces are easy to clean, non-toxic and non-stick, and come with their own iconic Caraway storage solution… all reasons that led to this reviewer’s rating of a perfect 5 stars.
So while Caraway’s got you covered for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they’ve also got just the right tools to satisfy your sweet tooth. For dessert lovers like us, that’s really quite thoughtful.
3. Free from Toxins, Free from Worry
Unlike other non-stick pans, Caraway’s commitment to clean, quality products without toxic sh*t like PFOA, PTFE, and other PFAs means you never have to worry about what might be creeping into your fresh-made-food. (It’s hard to unhear Jordan’s story of Teflon-poisoning.) LeafScore, a blog devoted to highlighting sustainable brands and products, gave Caraway’s pans a perfect 5/5, crediting their lack of toxins and “excellent eco-credentials.”
So you can chef-up in peace, knowing you’re keeping yourself, your dinner guests, your family, or whoever you’re treating to a meal safe and satisfied.
4. Keeping Your Kitchen Nice & Tidy
Pots and pans are notoriously hard to store. Unless you have one of those fancy racks that hang from the ceiling, they get banged up, buried, and take up a lot of crucial cabinet space. And where the hell are the lids supposed to go? Caraway, of course, has the answer.
They cooked up an ingenious storage solution to go along with their sets, complete with a customizable magnetic rack and a canvas lid holder that fits perfectly on the inner cabinet door. Functional storage for everything—even Epicurious loves it.
5. Good Cooking, but Looking Even Better
Most cookware out there looks bland at best. But Caraway’s sleek design and gorgeous colorways (Perracotta, Sage, Cream, Navy, Gray) are rewriting the script on cookware aesthetics. To quote Refinery29, “sexy and cookware aren’t terms we’re apt to pair, but [Caraway] just seamlessly melded the two together in a majorly accessible way.”
There’s something about the good vibes from this cookware that makes you want to spring into action. After all, who wants to cook in ugly pans?
6. Spend Less Time at the Sink
Caraway’s non-stick surface isn’t just good for the cooking, it’s also good for the cleaning, because when nothing sticks, nothing needs to be scrubbed off. Of the 46,000 customer reviews on Caraway’s website, a huge portion of them mention the ease of cleaning. Just a quick rinse and wipe is usually all it takes. No more “letting it soak” in the sink for long enough to annoy your roommates. (Somebody should’ve told Jim from The Office.)
7. Making Even the Leftovers Look Good
After immense success with their Cookware and Bakeware Sets, Caraway decided to bless us with the other part of home cooking: food storage. With the same level of functionality, beauty, and grace, Caraway crafted a 14-piece collection of non-toxic, ceramic-coated containers with see-through lids and bento-box style nesting inserts that can make any “last night’s dinner” look glamorous. Even Vice was impressed.
And of course, the Food Storage Set comes with its own storage solution as well, so no more Tupperware-tower-toppling. Clean, beautiful, and organized—isn’t that anyone’s ideal kitchen?
8. Difficult Recipe? There’s a Pan for That.
Another great thing about Caraway’s cookware is its versatility. The Cookware Set provides you with a Sauté Pan, Fry Pan, Saucepan, and Dutch Oven, and they pack a 4-way punch that lets you tackle any complicated meal out there. So if there’s a will, there’s a Cara-way (when it comes to nailing those old family recipes.)
We especially like Susan’s approach to one-pan meals. Keeping it simple is one of a home cook’s most crucial tactics, especially on weeknights.
9. Built to Last—Just Like the Family Recipe
Speaking of family recipes, you know that index card that’s been passed down for like 5 generations and somehow still maintains your great x5 grandmother’s pristine handwriting?
Caraway’s kitchen products are kind of like that. Built with nothing but high-quality products and featuring a sturdy aluminum core, Caraway pans will put the joy back in cooking over and over again for years. Domino magazine puts it like this: “The set is a one-and-done purchase—you get four workhorses that will last for ages.” Bless up, Domino.
10. Less is More (When You Can Do More with Less)
The problem with most new products, even when great, is that they accumulate. It sucks having too much stuff lying around. But the beauty with Caraway is that it eliminates the need for other tools in the kitchen thanks to the versatility, so you can upgrade and simplify at the same time.
We’re talking about sparking joy here, it’s only right we talk about Caraway’s Marie Kondo-esque commitment to “declutter.” When you can do more with less, cooking suddenly doesn’t feel like a burden. Who knew?
