OXO Enhanced
Score: 75/100
Carote Granite Pots and Pans Set
Score: 75/100Rankings
The OXO Enhanced 12" skillet offers a PFAS-free three-layer ceramic coating and a hard-anodized body for even heating and easy cleanup. Its main drawbacks are the lack of induction compatibility and a heavier feel. Best suited for home cooks who prioritize nonstick performance on gas or electric coil ranges.
The Carote 21-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set offers a granite-based nonstick coating and a full range of pots and pans with useful accessories. However, several pieces fall short of their claimed capacities and the set is relatively heavy. Ideal for beginners and small households seeking an all-in-one induction-ready kit.
