Sometimes it's not practical to fire up the outside grill, so we wanted something we could use indoors. We have a glass-top stove with a "bridge burner" setup on one side. We've used it before with the smooth-top Swiss Diamond grill, and it worked fine, so we were assuming that this version with the "rainures" would work equally well. And in fact, it did. I'm hoping to use it quite a bit during the rainy season. I did learn that inside grilling generates quite a bit of odor, so it's important to run the exhaust fan if you have one. And keep the heat turned down below medium! It might take a bit longer, but not only does it protect the grill, it cooks things better that way, and gives you more control over the process.

This is the must amazing thing I ever bought. And healthy to boot! I gave away my outdoor grill. Knew I would never use it again. I researched before I picked a brand and mostly go by what customers say now. It's FABULOUS!Best Deals for Swiss Diamond Nonstick 11" x 17" Cast Aluminum Double-Burner Grill
I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."
Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?
A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)
As Wikipedia explains:
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.
Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?
If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that "Teflon" is a trade mark, made and owned by DUPONT."
So the pans don't contain Teflon, they just contain the chemical called Teflon. It's like saying a nuclear warhead doesn't contain any plutonium, it only contains nuclear fissionable material.
For the manufacturer to insist the Swiss Diamond pans contain no Teflon whatsoever when it is made primarily from polytetrafluoroethylene, the chemical widely known as Teflon, is extremely deceptive. In fact, the intent of the Swiss Diamond company seems to be to deceive consumers by omission of the facts. The FAQ document on the Swiss Diamond website, for example, does not bother to say something like, "But our pans do contain PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon." It simply insists they contain no Teflon and moves on to the next question.
It seems that Swiss Diamond goes out of its way to give the impression that this product is free of Teflon chemicals and is surfaced primarily with diamonds. That's the impression I got, anyway, and I read the promotional materials several times before purchasing the pan.
Consumers have been hoodwinked yet again.
