Cookware for every skillet

Caraway Skillet

Ceramic non-stick, enameled cast iron and stainless skillets sit side by side here, so you can compare coating, heat response, weight and what ships in the box before you decide.
Fresh from the lineup

New skillets worth a closer look

These six skillets arrive across materials and sizes, from a small ceramic pan for eggs to roomy enameled cast iron for searing. Each earns its place through a distinct everyday strength.

Caraway Ceramic Non-Stick Fry Pan in cream, sized for low-oil breakfasts and quick rinsing

A compact ceramic non-stick pan suits mornings when you want eggs that slide out with a teaspoon of oil. The PFAS-free coating rinses clean in seconds, and the light body flips easily one-handed. Choose it for breakfast, grilled sandwiches and small single-serve dinners.

Caraway Ceramic Non-Stick Skillet in sage for family sautés and easy one-pan dinners

Stepping up in diameter, this ceramic skillet handles family sautés and one-pan dinners without crowding the surface. Gentle, even heat keeps delicate vegetables intact, while the non-stick finish means less scrubbing after dinner. Storage is simpler too, since a protector lets you stack it safely.

Caraway Enameled Cast Iron Skillet that holds steady heat for deep, even searing

Enameled cast iron rewards patience: preheat it low and steady, then it holds heat through a cold steak without dropping temperature. The enamel interior needs more oil than ceramic but browns harder and lasts for decades. It moves from stovetop to oven, which widens what you can cook in one pan.

Caraway Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with helper handle for safer pouring and oven finishing

A helper handle makes the difference when a full pan needs two hands. This enameled cast iron skillet pours sauce and slid-out roasts more safely, and the heavy base keeps oven temperatures stable for skillet cornbread or finished fritters. Let it cool before washing and the enamel stays smooth.

Caraway Stainless Steel Skillet for high-heat browning, fond building and pan sauces

Stainless steel is the high-heat choice. It tolerates aggressive settings, so fond forms quickly and deglazing gives you a proper pan sauce in minutes. Expect to use more oil and to wait for preheating, but you gain browning that a coated pan cannot match, plus a surface that never wears out.

Caraway Ceramic Non-Stick Skillet pair with felt protectors for scratch-free stacked storage

Sold as a matched pair with felt protectors, this set solves the storage problem that stops people from cooking more often. Stack the pans without scratching the coating, keep both finishes matched on display, and choose the size that fits the meal instead of washing the same pan twice.

Caraway Ceramic Non-Stick Skillet with even, gentle heat for everyday low-oil cooking

This ceramic non-stick skillet is built for the cooking most people do daily: eggs, fish, vegetables and gentle sautés with a light touch of oil. The PFAS-free coating is third-party tested, and the even base keeps heat steady without forcing high settings that wear coatings faster. Hand washing and a soft cloth keep the surface smooth for years.

Everyday jobs these skillets handle

Low-oil weekday breakfasts

Low-oil breakfasts suit ceramic non-stick best. A teaspoon of oil or butter is usually enough, eggs release cleanly, and the pan rinses before the coffee is poured, which makes weekday mornings realistic.

Searing meat and building a crust

Searing meat or building a crust calls for cast iron or stainless. Both hold heat through cold food, so browning stays even and fond forms for a pan sauce if you want one afterward.

Cooking for a shared household

Shared household cooking rewards a wider pan or a matched pair. Two sizes let one person start vegetables while another finishes protein, and matching finishes keep open-shelf storage looking intentional rather than improvised.

Caring for a non-stick coating over time

Protecting a coating over years comes down to soft tools, gentle heat and smart stacking. A felt protector and a care kit add little cost and keep the surface smooth long after the first season of daily use.
What to compare

How to choose the right skillet

Four factors decide which skillet suits you: the cooking surface, how you apply heat, how the pan feels to lift, and what comes with it. Change one and a different pan usually becomes the better answer.
Coating and material choice

Ceramic non-stick releases easily with little oil and rinses clean, which suits eggs and delicate fish. Cast iron and stainless hold more aggressive heat for crusts, but they ask for more oil, patience and technique.

Heat style and cooking habits

Low, steady heat favors ceramic, since harsh settings wear coatings faster. Cast iron rewards preheating and stays hot when food hits it. Stainless handles the highest settings, ideal when fond and reductions matter.

Size, weight and handling

A heavier pan keeps heat even but is harder to maneuver one-handed, worth noting if wrist strength is a factor. Lighter ceramic pans flip easily, and a helper handle on cast iron makes pouring safer.

Bundles, storage and care

Pan protectors, storage solutions and care kits extend coating life, while duos give matched pieces without separate shopping. If cabinet space is tight, a skillet with an included protector may save more than it costs.

Four skillet directions to compare

Skillets split by material and by the job they do best. Sort them by how you apply heat and how much oil you want to use, and the right direction becomes clear within a few comparisons.

Ceramic non-stick for gentle, low-oil cooking

Ceramic non-stick is the gentle route: low to medium heat, less oil, and a surface that rinses clean. It suits eggs, fish and delicate vegetables more than hard searing, and it rewards careful preheating rather than aggressive settings.

Enameled cast iron for crusts and steady heat

Enameled cast iron stores heat and releases it evenly, which is what produces a real crust. It asks for more oil and a slower preheat, then repays you with browning that holds steady when cold food hits the pan.

Stainless steel for high heat and fond

Stainless handles the highest settings, so fond develops quickly and sauces reduce properly. Expect to add fat and wait for preheating, and you gain a pan that will not scratch, wear or limit how hard you can cook.

Bundles and storage for daily skillet cooks

Bundles pair a skillet with a protector, storage solution or matched piece. They suit anyone cooking from the same pan daily who wants the surface protected between uses and the cabinet to stay organized.
What owners tell us

Real skillet experiences

I switched from a scratched pan to a ceramic one and immediately noticed how little oil I need now. Eggs slide out clean and the rinse is genuinely quick, which has quietly changed how often I cook breakfast at home.

Dana R.Less oil, easier mornings
The cast iron took a few tries before it clicked. Once I started preheating low and steady, the crusts improved a lot. It is heavy, but the helper handle made pouring sauce feel safe instead of hopeful.

Marcus T.Learned to preheat properly
My cabinets are shallow, so the protector mattered more than I expected. I stack two pans without worrying about scratches, and cooking from the right size instead of the only size has made weeknight meals much less fussy.

Priya S.Small kitchen, real storage
Cleanup was the deciding factor for me. Most nights a warm soapy soak and a soft cloth are enough, and nothing has needed aggressive scrubbing. The finish has softened slightly over time, which I was warned about and honestly accept.

Ellen W.Weeknight cleanup relief
The duo replaced two mismatched pans I never used together. Matching finishes look calm on my open shelves, and having a second size means I stop washing the same pan twice on busy nights. Worth the higher upfront cost for me.

Practical questions before you pick a skillet

Which skillet material is best if I want to cook with less oil every day?
Ceramic non-stick releases food with little or no oil, which is the easiest route for eggs and fish. Enameled cast iron and stainless reward extra fat and preheating, since they brown by direct contact rather than by a coating.
Caraway’s ceramic coatings are made without PFAS, PFOA and PTFE, and the brand states that third-party accredited laboratories test them, publishing reports you can read. Expect the non-stick surface to evolve with use, as all ceramic coatings do.
Let the pan cool before washing, use gentle non-abrasive tools, and avoid thermal shock by skipping cold water on a hot pan. A pan protector or included storage solution keeps the surface scratch-free between uses.
A duo costs more up front but replaces separate purchases and keeps finishes matched, which matters if your cookware stays on display. If you only ever fry eggs, a single ceramic pan is the simpler and cheaper answer.
