NutriChef Cookware Set
Score: 82/100
Caraway Frying Pan
Score: 81/100Rankings
The NutriChef 11-piece set offers reinforced forged aluminum construction with a durable Excilon blue diamond ceramic coating and induction compatibility. Its main trade-off is the hand-wash-only requirement and a 500°F temperature cap. Ideal for home cooks who value a stylish, versatile set and are willing to wash by hand.
The Caraway 10.5" fry pan offers a ceramic non-toxic coating and even heating from its aluminum core. The pan's coating can wear over time and the handle may become hot, limiting high-heat use. It is best suited for health-focused home cooks who value low-oil cooking and oven versatility.
