Unboxing the Cookware+ Set

Caraway’s Cookware+ Set is a comprehensive collection that includes:

  • 6 qt Rondeau: Perfect for everything from sautéing veggies to frying eggs for a crowd.
  • 12 qt Stock Pot: Your go-to for soups, stews, and slow-cooked dishes.
  • 12″ Stir Fry Pan: Great for one-pan meals, searing meat, or stir-frying.
  • 2 qt Petite Cooker: Ideal for making sauces, boiling pasta, or preparing grains.

But wait, there’s more! The “Plus” in Cookware+ comes from the additional goodies:

  • A custom storage solution: Say goodbye to clutter with Caraway’s ingenious storage system, which keeps your pots, pans, and lids organized and easily accessible.
  • Four magnetic pan racks: These ensure that your pans are neatly stored and easy to grab when needed.
  • A canvas lid holder: Designed to hang inside your cabinet doors, keeping your lids in order and within reach.

Keep in mind that this box is HEAVY. It was a two person job in my household because of the size and weight. But Caraway is really thoughtful with their packaging and you should know that your products are packed sustainably and carefully.

I tried another cookware brand recently and the packaging just did not compare. Thankfully nothing broke but it easily could have which made me all the more grateful for Caraway’s packaging! Even my husband commented on it.

What Sets Cookware+ Apart

There’s no doubt that Caraway makes some of the most beautiful cookware on the market! I love the way it looks and is so easy to clean. Here are some of the other stand out features of Caraway’s products that I love:

  1. Design Excellence: Caraway’s signature aesthetic shines through in the Cookware+ Set. The sleek design and modern color palette make these pieces not just tools, but also statement pieces in your kitchen.
  2. Non-Toxic Materials: Health is wealth, and Caraway gets it. Their ceramic coating is free from PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, and other harmful chemicals, ensuring that your food stays pure and your cookware remains safe for you and the environment.
  3. Non-Stick Brilliance: The ceramic non-stick surface is a dream to cook with. It requires less oil, makes for easy flipping and stirring, and ensures that food releases effortlessly from the pan.
  4. Easy Cleanup: The non-stick surface also means less scrubbing. Cleanup is a breeze – and I truly mean that, it’s what everyone I know who also has bought Caraway comments on!
  5. Even Heat Distribution: Say goodbye to hot spots. Caraway’s cookware ensures even heat distribution, giving you consistent cooking results every time.

I love the non-stick cookware because it’s easy to cook with and easy to clean plus it’s really pretty in my kitchen! I have never had issues cooking with Caraway.

Cooking with the Cookware+ Set

While there is no doubt the quality of this set is there, the main question to ask yourself is if you will use all of the pieces of the set to make the investment worth it. I personally feel both the core cookware set and the stainless steel sets are 100% worth the investment but my thoughts are a little bit mixed on the Cookware+ set.

As a family of 5 now, there will be A LOT of cooking in my future. We also meal prep quite a bit and make large amount of food to freeze for future meals. So for me, a these pans make sense in my kitchen! Here is a closer look at my thoughts:

6 qt Rondeau:

The one thing I love about this pot specifically is the handles. It is easy for things you start on the stove and then move to the oven. I feel like it fits really well in the oven this way, especially for larger meals over the 4.5qt sauce pan that comes in the standard set.

I’m glad to have it in my kitchen as we approach the holiday season especially – we host a lot so it’s a must to be able to cook for large groups. And now I won’t have to use multiple pans to cook the same meal!

12 qt Stock Pot:

Every kitchen absolutely needs a stock pot. I use mine several times a year for making soups, stews, broth, etc. It definitely gets more use in the winter months but it’s perfect for large batches of things we eat often.

12″ Stir Fry Pan:

I LOVE this pan so much. It’s a stir fry/wok style pan and it cooks so evenly! The quality is there. We make a lot of stir fry style meals so this pan gets a lot of mileage in my house! I love that because the pans retain heat so well you don’t have to keep the burners up high while you’re cooking. This is one of my favorite and most used pans since we got it!

2 qt Petite Cooker:

This pan is one that I think really depends on your needs. It’s SO CUTE but tragically, it is too small to fit on any of my burners properly 🙁 I think it’s perfect for smaller portions or making sauces, especially if you are a one or two person household. If we had a gas stovetop, I think it would be perfect!

Why Upgrade to Cookware+?

Investing in Caraway’s Cookware+ Set is about enhancing your cooking experience. High-quality, non-toxic cookware not only makes cooking more enjoyable but also ensures that your meals are healthier and more delicious. The additional storage solutions are a thoughtful touch, making it easier to maintain an organized and efficient kitchen.

The Cookware+ set makes so much sense for us as a family of 5. I have these pans heavy in our cookware rotation. And as usual, Caraway’s storage is perfection:

Because of how I have my cabinets organized at the moment, I have the stock pot back deeper in a cabinet.

The Final Verdict

Caraway’s Cookware+ Set is a fantastic investment for families especially looking to elevate their kitchen game. The set is a blend of style, functionality, and thoughtful design make it a standout choice in the world of cookware.
