 WARNING: this product is not "virtually indestructible" or "metal utencil safe" Apr 28, 2007
By C. Briggs
I recently bought a Swiss Diamond Saute Pan on the basis of a limited lifetime warranty and this claim in the product description:
"Swiss Diamond cookware features a revolutionary new non-stick incorporating diamond crystals ... to form a virtually indestructible non-stick cooking surface that will not crack, blister or peel. So durable its metal utensil safe."
After my experience using this pan I take issue with the terms "virtually indestructible" and "metal utensil safe" and feel that I have been deceived.
I've followed Swiss Diamond use and care instructions *to the letter* but not long after I started using the pan the surface became pockmarked. I would submit that the product is certainly neither "virtually indestructible" nor "metal utensil safe."
Interestingly their lifetime warranty does not cover "scratch marks," which is puzzling because they've just claimed it's "virtually indestructible" and "metal utensil safe." How is a "virtually indestructible" and "metal utensil safe" surface going to get scratch marks on it? Maybe they know something we don't?

 Very Very Good - - for a while May 08, 2007
By Morgan Witthoft
I really liked this pot when new. The distribution of heat is excellent, the nonstick coating was great, and it even had the neat feature that butter spreads out (usually on nonstick pots the butter sort of beads up. In this one it makes a lovely smooth coating you can fry on).
I still like the vented glass lid, which I have kept although I threw the pot in the trash.
After six months it was noticeably less "nonstick" - - needed a little extra work to get it clean.
After a year it was not "nonstick" at all.
After 15 months, it has nasty brown bits of unknown material that are very hard to clean off it. I don't know if it's burned food or some part of the pot itself that is peeling off - - yuck.
Sorry - - too expensive for a pot that only lasts a year. I'm back to my 20-year-old Revereware (but, alas, I see in the reviews that the Revereware brand is now cheesy Asian import junk instead of real quality American product. Sorry, I don't know what to recommend anymore, except maybe trying to find some old Revereware at Goodwill)
Update (2009) - - consider the ScanPan. It's working well for me.

 Confessions of a pot-destroyer Apr 06, 2007
By David Dcosta
"As a daily exerciser I depend on Audible for fuel, and -- most of all -- on books that make me look forward to an hour!"
I destroy cooking pots. I'm especially lethal to the light-weight teflon lined variety you'll find at the supermarket. My secret is simple: I like to cook on high heat and I get easily distracted. That guarantees that I'll forget what's on the stove and produce a scorched (and warped) utensil. If a lightweight teflon pot lasts me two years, it's extraordinarily lucky.
I now own four (different) Swiss Diamond pots. And even my brutal habits leave them unimpressed. Despite regular disasters, they seem to shrug off what would vanquish a lesser pot. (Admittedly, I do avoid metal spoons and spatulas and clean them with non-abrasive means.) They have excellent non-stick characteristics, superb heat-spreading, and -- love it -- are approved for very hot oven use. Adding up to ESSENTIAL cooking tools!
And when you factor the price of regularly replacing "cheaper" pots, their cost becomes more than bearable.
HIGHLY recommended!

Truly Non Stick Mar 27, 2006
By Folsom Gal
While pricey, this is absolutely the best product I have found for cooking. Not only is it truly non stick - no need for sprays, etc - it doesn't scratch as the finish is all the way through. And it cleans up like a dream. It IS a little heavy, though, but the angled handle helps.
