Non-stick frying pans November 3, 2008 The Swiss Diamond Cast-Aluminum non-stick frying pan is more like a griddle than just a frying pan. It has a wide bottom and gently sloping sides. It is heavier and sturdier than most non-stick frying pans and has become my favorite. I will buy more of this brand.
Two minor issues to consider September 15, 2008 I can't yet comment on the longevity of the pan's coating, but there are two features you should be aware of. First, the pan's diameter is only 24 cm, as opposed to 10 in (25.4 cm). Hence standard lids don't fit. Second, the tops of the pan edges are fully vertical, making it very difficult to drain off liquid while using a spatula to hold back the food.
Surface is neither safe nor indestructable July 1, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Avoid this pan; check out the consumer alert at NaturalNews.com for the truth about this Swiss Diamond pan. The surface is easily scratched, and contains toxic teflon chemicals. There are better, safer stainless steel pans available for less money, too!
Best Fry Pans Ever! June 29, 2008 I use frying pans for a multitude reasons when cooking, so I've collected quite a few (and thrown away even more) over my lifetime. Don't remember what prompted me to purchase my first Swiss Diamond fry pan, but I am sure glad I did. They perform better than any other, at ANY price! They sit flat on the cooking surface. The food never sticks, and the pan never loses it's pretty dark patina. I have been using mine, and I have 3 of various sizes, for about 4 years. They look as good today, as the day I took them out of the box. I never want another brand.
Great pan to start, then... June 1, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I LOVED this pan when I first got it, and for a while. I've had it for over a year now. It cooked evenly and was wonderfully non-stick. In fact, it cooked as nicely as a well-seasoned cast iron. I tried to care for it as directed, but even so, the pan has lost most of it's non-stick qualities and is difficult to clean well.
To make a long story short, I prefer my old cast iron, and while they require some care, they hold their quality. This pan has become unmanageable as far as its non-stick coating is concerned. There doesn't seem to be any way to "restore" it as you would a cast iron pan.
I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS PAN, but after one year, I am very disappointed. Started out well, but quickly went the way of cheap non-stick pans.
