Caraway's Bestselling Cookware Comes in 2 New Glam Colors — I Put It to the Test

I recently moved out of my parents' house and into my very first apartment. As soon as I signed the lease, I quickly went from overjoyed to anxious, immediately realizing how much goes into perfecting your home, especially the kitchen.

I've heard incredible things about Caraway, from the stylish bakeware to the bestselling cookware that's already an editor favorite. Caraway released its new Iconics collection ($595, originally $745) featuring glazed black and white colorways with glossy, gold-toned hardware. It's elevated and oh so glam — undeniably my vibe. The set comes with a fry pan, a sauce pan with lid, a sauté pan with lid, and a dutch oven with lid. I fell in love with the cookware's sleek design, but the real test is how it handles my kitchen adventures.

Right off the bat, I still can't believe how gorgeous the Iconics line is — the gold hardware shines and sparkles as the light hits it, and the black exterior looks so chic and elegant. It also comes with its own storage solutions. You get a set of dividers that fit each pot and pan, so you can rest them vertically for space-saving organization.

Besides its look, my first impression of the cookware is that it is on the heavier end and feels pretty durable. The nonstick, nontoxic ceramic coating has a smooth feel and a silky slip. The pots and pans have an aluminum core and stainless-steel handles. I have a gas stove, but you can use this cookware on any stovetop, including induction and electric. It's also oven safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. 

I decided to cook two dishes to test their nonstick capabilities, a Cajun chicken pasta and a mixed-vegetable curry. From boiling pasta to searing meats and sautéing veggies, the cookware set could handle it all.

Whether you're a bona-fide master chef or a complete newbie in the kitchen, the set is great for anyone who loves to cook, especially if you're in the market for something high quality. Caraway's Iconics cookware collection is made for those who value and appreciate aesthetics as much as quality and function; you get the best of both worlds.
