CEO Jordan Nathan started Caraway after discovering the potential dangers of nonstick coatings on certain cookware (though you only need to worry when you’re putting nonstick pans through extremely high heat).

Caraway Cookwares are free of potentially toxic materials such as PFOA, PTFE and other PFAs. The pots are instead made of aluminium and stainless steel, with a ceramic coating. It’s also oven safe (up to 550°F)—and it can work on induction, gas, and electric stoves.
