Good
Read the fine print. They say dishwasher safe. But further down they say hand wash for longer lifespan of the pans. They also can't be used on burners above medium heat. But they're supposed to be oven safe? If only medium heat then to what degree are they safe in the oven? It doesn't say. So, they're beautiful, quasi functional, and come with a lot of asterisks even though they make claims of perfection. We've had ours about a week and they work. But cooking times are slower because of the medium heat thing. I'm back to hand washing pots and pans when everything else we own can go in the dishwasher. And I'm still leary of making a frittata because I don't know what oven temp is safe for a medium heat pan... So, yeah, fun. We'll see how they hold up in the long term.
We appreciate your feedback on this ceramic cookware set. The set is oven safe up to 450℉ (232℃).
Gorgeous set !
I was able to grab the cream on a restock and they are stunning! I followed box directions , hand washed and seasoned them before first use. I’ve have zero problems and I’ve been so happy! No chipping on my set. I do have a glass top induction stove and I’ve had no issues with that either!
Pretty but poor quality
They are pretty, lightweight, which worried me on the quality side. They started getting stained immediately, and I could not get the stains off of the sides. I own the cream color with gold accents. Within a couple of months, they started chipping, and the inside of pots/pans and skillets looked very worn. I wash all by hand and use a non scratch sponge. Also, the handles get very hot! I do not recommend this cookware set!
We are sorry to hear about your experience. To restore the non-stick performance, we recommend soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water and thoroughly washing the surface the next morning. As a reminder, metal handles may heat up when exposed to high oven temperatures or prolonged cooking, so using potholders or oven mitts is necessary when handling the lids, pots, and pans. We have some important tips for you to protect this aluminum set. 1) Always use on low to medium heat. 2) Always cool down to room temperature before washing. 3) Avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) on the cookware and lids. 4) Avoid sharp adjectives that touch the cookware surface.

Love these!
I have always had the hardest time finding nonstick pots/pjs that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I saw an IG influencer that I follow talk about these so I decided to check them out. The fact that they sell out almost immediately after a restock told me something to start. Once I got them home and used them for a few months, I’ll say I am THOROUGHLY impressed. I was lucky enough to get the cream color and they’re just beautiful. The quality far exceeds the price point and I couldn’t be happier with them. I recommend them to all my friends!!
Buy These Pots! Be Leary of Negative Reviews
I bought two sets of these pots. I read the negative reviews and am confused by them. The name brand pots which are double/triple in price have the same instructions, details and aesthetics as these. The negative reviews complain about the utensils you have to use, the suggested temperature and the recommended hand washing as opposed to dishwashing, etc. - but they do not note that name brand provides the same advice. These are direct quotes from the name brand pots: "Ceramic can hold heat more efficiently than traditional pans, so use pans on low to medium heat when cooking. Overheating can wear away the non-stick coating." Another quote from the name brand - "Avoid using oil sprays or cooking aerosols for greasing pans to preserve the naturally slick coating." Another - "Metal utensils with rough edges may damage your non-stick coating. Stick to wooden, silicone, plastic, or nylon products." Another - "Clean with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or dishcloth to keep your pans looking fresh! Avoid the dishwasher as the detergent can damage the non-stick coating." Another referencing the oven - "Our cookware can handle up to 550°F without breaking a sweat." Sam's club recommends 450 degrees. Another - "Yes, all non-stick coatings will slowly wear off given frequent use. " You get the picture. The name brand has the same type of instructions as Sam's pots. Theirs do come with a storage system. Hope Sam's adds that feature. Maybe the other reviews were not aware of the instructions on the name brand. I have boiled in them, used them on the stovetop and oven. So far so good. Waiting on the pink ones to be back in stock.
Kind of Induction Compatible
We have a Thermador induction cook-top. All our other pots/pans work reliably on the cook-top. We purchased these for the non-stick feature. Unfortunately on our cooktop the pans only "kind of" work. The cooktop senses the pan and we can set a temperature, but eventually the cooktop says the cookware is not induction compatible and we have to lift the pan and try again... and again. Not sure as I did not cut the pans apart, but I assume the ferrous metal component is too thin to be reliable as induction compatible. Too bad as the set is pretty, and a good value.
Hi Jimmy, this cookware features a stainless-steel stay-flat base designed for use with induction cooking surfaces. The diameter of the pan's induction base should be equal to or larger than the size of the induction element you are using. If the pan's induction base is much smaller than the induction heating element, the induction sensor may not recognize the pan and will not activate (heat).
I had high hopes..
After waiting a very long time(over 6 months) for the color I wanted to be back in stock, I finally purchased this set. I love the Caraway pans, but I can not justify spending that much, so I was so excited to find something similar for a much better price. These looked beautiful when I got them, but unfortunately, they just aren't holding up, and I don't cook every day. I take obsessive care of these to the point that I hand wash them and bought wood and silicone cooking utensils. There are scratches and tiny burn looking marks inside on the ceramic coating that appeared after only a few uses. The cream colored paint has areas where the paint has browned, so they don't look as nice now, and like other reviews mention, the handles do get got, especially the lids. I am trying to live a more toxic free life, especially with 3 young kids, but now I don't feel comfortable using them, knowing that there are scratches and marks in the ceramic coating.
We are sorry for your experienc e with this set. Please know you can exchange or return it anytime as part of the Member's Mark 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Contact Member Support at (888) 301-0332 if you need assistance. To restore the performance of the non-stick surface, we recommend a deep cleaning method. This involves soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water and thoroughly washing the surface the next morning. Besides, we have some important tips for you to care this set. 1) Always use low to medium heat. 2) Always cool down to room temperature before washing. 3) Avoid sudden temperature change (Thermal Shock) on the cookware and lids. 4) Keep the open fire just touching the bottom of the pots and avoid open fire climbing onto the wall. Also, please keep in mind that metal handles can become hot when exposed to high oven temperatures or prolonged cooking. For your safety, we highly recommend using potholders or oven mitts when handling the lids, pots, and pans to protect yourself from the heat.
Love my new set
I purchased the green set. The color is exactly as pictured and beautiful. I usually cook with cash iron but purchased these to try as a lighter weight and non toxic alternative. The set is good quality. I do have gas range/open flame coook top that beats up the bottom of all my pans but these are holding up good so far.
White pots n pans
I purchased the set in white (beige) and really like it. However I ended up burning one of my fry pans and have been looking for a replacement but it seems to be unavailable. If I cannot find a single piece replacement I will look elsewhere for a set that has the option to purchase individual pieces. Other than that it's a great set for the price. P.S. don't walk away from stove while burner is on high!! Haha
Please contact Member Support at (888) 301-0332 and they can assist you with obtaining a replacement pan.
Wow!
This set is simply amazing! It looks beautiful, heavy duty, easy to clean and very satisfying to use! I’ve owed cheap pans and expensive ones and this is by far the very best set. I’m thinking about buying another set as a backup. They make a great gift for anyone!
