The Caraway pans are not worth it for the following reasons. They often break and fall apart, they dont work well with all doughs, the coating can be peeled off easily by a spatula or some other utensil without damaging your cooking surface in any way, and if you cook foods that contain more fat than water (such as oil-based dressings) then these will soak up too much oil from them which may cause food to stick on one side of the pan while being cooked.
