Now, that's that's the thing is you crack an egg in it, it immediately can slide around the pan.

Cites coating, ease of cleaning, flavour impact, heat control, non-stick surface, searing and crust

Cleaning is even easier. You can take a dry paper towel, wipe it out, it's completely clean like it's never been used.
things are going to sear better in the Caraway. They're going to turn out better.
It's going to be easier to manipulate heat and and maintain certain heat levels the more you spend.
I mean, the food comes out and it is beautiful and it tastes good, but it's just easy to use.
You can pick it up and just swirl your food around. The coating is so so effective.
So, the biggest difference between the Carote at $15 and the Caraway at $150 is the quality of the coating of the nonstick coating.
I cracked an egg into it immediately. Even as it was starting to adhere, it was smooth, it slid around no problem. I mean, the nonstick, it's it's so effective.
the second it cracked into the pan, the egg A looked beautiful, right? I mean, it just looked really nice in the pan. It looked like I was almost doing a professional shoot.

but also when I look down at it I've seen the thickness of the walls it reminded me so much of an old Griswold or an old piece of Wagner ware

Cites build quality, ease of cleaning, seasoning durability

Kent Rollins was given the product. Stated in the source: “we got this box in the mail we did an unboxing video on an 8 inch field skillet” Kept and labelled rather than dropped: a paid endorsement is still evidence, and you should be the one to decide what it is worth.

the more you use it the better it is going to become to you the slicker it's going to get the better finish it has
now what I have found that really helps these new skillets a whole lot deep fry you something in for you enough grease in there that you can fry something I cook me some deep fried chili rellenos in them I'll deep fry some fishing deep fry some potatoes in it really works good on seasoning easy to clean up that away…
they finish quicker and smoother than any of that other iron I ever used unless you get back to the Griswold in the Wagner so many years ago

Cites non-stick surface (against), versatility (against)

things slid around pretty easily in the Carote, but not even remotely close to how well it did in the Caraway.
And then the Carote was a bit of a jump down in in terms of quality, but the Caraway was the best egg that I was able to make.
