When we bought this pan the salesperson promised us the moon, stars and eternal life.

They lied.

The diamond coating is under the non stick surface to help bond it, but the nonstick coating is still a fragile surface that does not hold up in

daily use. Our's didn't.

The pan was great while it lasted, so good that 3 months later we decided to buy an entire set of pans from Woll.

The first pan we bought while traveling, the rest online.

At 6 months the nonstick coating began to fail on the pan we used daily. At 12 months it looked like something purchased at Walmart in the markdown bin.

Not what you expect for over $100

The pans we don't use at all look great. If you must own these,

plan on replacing them out of pocket frequently if you use them. If you want that long life expectancy promised by the salesman. I suggest that you don't use them.

Not using the pan should prolong the life of the non stick finish indefinitely. Sorry about the sarcasm but I'm really disappointed in both Woll and the pan.

I tried contacting Woll several times to try and get instructions on how to warranty the pan but have never received a reply.

It's been really upsetting.

Take a minute and Google their warranty service yourself, before purchasing. Couldn't find it? Me neither. I finally sent some Emails to

Corporate pleading for them to be redirected to the customer service or warranty dept.

It's been six months since my last attempt at warrantying the 12 1/2 fry pan. That's long enough to wait for a return email.

I'm sure not providing a way for someone to return their products for warranty saves the corporation a lot of money but it

sucks for the consumer.

I've gone to local shops selling Woll products and they have refused to honor the warranty for us because we did not purchase our pans there.

I can't really blame them.

Anyone want a ham, cheese omelet with just a hint of nonstick coating in it for that special flavor?

Save your money. Someday someone will create a durable nonstick pan, but it is not this one.

Got this to replace my favorite "giant" Calphalon non-stick stainless skillet, which finally needed to be retired after a decade of moderate use surface at last became too worn and scratched for safety. Thought I could at least continue using the 12-plus inch glass lid (fully 12.5" as measured with metal rim). This first-class advanced nonstick monster seemed just the ticket... But alas, the Woll is actually OVER 12.5" a generous 32cm INTERIOR measurement translates to more like 12.7"/ a full 13" exterior width, and without the Calphalon's sloped sides, the old lid just neatly drops straight down past the rim to its perfectly flat bottom surface. So I had to order the expensive Woll stainless & glass lid afterall at least it should last a lifetime anyway.

Though heavier and more shallow than it would seem, based on the photo (probably depicting their smaller sized model?), it sure does appear to be as durable and functionally advanced for hot water rinse and paper towel wipe cleanup convenience for many years to come. Though not the super-slippery Tfal coating some people expect, this is a far superior nonstick material than all those "new" ceramic surfaced "Green" cookware products boast about. If that's what you're looking for, you'd do much better just getting an old-fashioned porcelain-on-cast-iron skillet like grandma used; I have tried to make an "Orgreenic" pan work as advertized and there's just no way (stickier than unpolished stainless!). We'll see how it holds up, but so far, this pan works brilliantly for all my giant skillet needs.

This is a fantastic pan! The pan is thick (10mm) but it's light because it's solid aluminum (BTW, don't let self-appointed health "experts" convince you that aluminum gives you alzheimer's disease. The growing body of evidence proves it does not). There's no PFOA (which IS quite harmful) because they found a way to infuse the non-stick coating right to the metal directly. That means it'll withstand the scratches and heat and abuse better than most non-sticks. So far, that's entirely true. I scraped the tines of my fork hard on a spot towards the rim of the pan and it didn't scratch off the nonstick. I also took my heavy spoons and spatulas and tapped them firmly against the rim like I would when I'm cooking to see if it'd ding up and leave marks. It did NOT. By all accounts, the diamond-plus pans are incredibly durable. The vendor claims that even if it discolors a bit or gets scratched (which I haven't been able to accomplish by being rough on it), there's no harm because the non-stick coating is fused to the metal. Gotta say I'm loving it so far. Time will tell if they hold up like this in a year or two. I'll report back.

It also cooks incredibly evenly and heats up/cools off quickly because of the aluminum. For example, on my old crappy pots and pans, if I turn the burner on high with an inch of water in the bottom, there'll be like a ring of bubbles right where the elements are or right where the warped pan bottoms touch the heating elements. But in THIS pan, the heat is transferred evenly and thus the entire surface bubbles evenly showing me that the whole bottom is the same temperature. Things fry the exact same way in this pan...there's no "hot spot". I fried up a bunch of sausage (without greasing the pan at all first) and after each turn, they all had the same browning level which told me the sausages on the edge had the same heat under them as the sausages in the middle of the pan. Finally! I was tired of having to rotate them to different spots in the pan so there weren't burnt ones and raw ones.

The pan is incredibly flat and precise. There's no rocking when it's on a flat surface because the bottom was turned with precision. Now, if there is a fault with this pan (and I don't know that this is the fault of the pan) its that the super shiny underside picks up stains quickly and they're hard to scour off because of the texture. On the other hand, that texture makes it nice and grippy so it doesn't slide around on my flat glass range. On my old pans, the slightest touch to the handle can send it spinning all the way around in a circle or send it off the glassy burner altogether. THIS pan absolutely does not. Something about it grips really well to the glass surface I've got.

I don't want to get sucked in by the hype of the "making of" videos, but so far this is performing fantastically and just as advertised. But as I've heard others mention, almost ALL nonstick works great at first. It's not until you use it for a year or two before you find out what it's really made of. I'll keep everyone posted with my findings as time goes on.

Honest reviews on Woll Diamond Plus Fry Pan

...because this is the most perfect nonstick small skillet/egg pan ever! Much better price elsewhere on the Internet; but I can't imagine a better designed & manufactured piece of essential cookware. Balance/weight, range of temperature, ease of use/cleanup, and adaptability with existing 8" glass lids and all heat sources (except induction) make this the "holy grail" of daily necessity cookware for me. Woll is unbeatable and well worth even this premium price, as far as I'm concerned. As my last essential utility nonstick pan, a 9.5" sauté, rapidly approaches its nonstick end I'm impatiently looking forward to replacing it with a Woll Nowo Titanium one. Don't even think about trying newfangled ceramic nonstick surface "experiments" they DO NOT WORK. Woll seems to have perfected ultimate practically indestructible rinse'n'wipe cookware technology! Will just have to see how it holds up but I'd wager it will continue working like new for a decade or more. Couldn't be happier!

Take it from one who does the pan cleaning, nothing sticks to this pan. It is so nice to basically rinse this pan under the sink faucet and EVERYTHING just falls off. A quick wipe with a sponge and you're done. Heating is even and unless you want it burned, it surely won't do that.
