Over the years we have gone through several nonstick pans, which seem to wear out quickly and not be able to withstand much heat at all. We very much like the Swiss Diamond Saute Pan, which is nonstick at any setting of the stove we use with it, even high heat. The relatively high sides and 12" diameter make it big enough to cook a large amount at one time, good for leftovers. The glass lid is also very good, with a setting in the knob which allows us to vary the amount of steam escaping. The handle is quite fine and does not get hot in use, something we were initially concerned with for a metal handle.

This pan seems to be as indestructible as a non-stick pan can be. This is my second Swiss Diamond pan, and so far I am impressed. I have only had the other pan for about 6 months and so far so good. Finding non-stick pans that hold up to both high heat and to abrasion has been a hard task. So far I like the Swiss Diamond pans and as long as they continue to hold up I will slowly replace the rest of my pans with them.

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!!!!!!!!!!

Very good. Had it for a few months now. The pan we got had some scratches on the bottom (not on cooking surface) we didn't notice until later. It has a very good nonstick surface and is easy to clean. Absolutely not trouble with anything adhering to it. It comes with a lid that is very high quality as well. You definitely get what you pay for.

OK. I have a kitchen full of All Clad (great stuff), and cast iron (raised on it) but this Flame top pot is a thing of beauty. I find myself reaching for it again and again. Light, even heat distribution, holds the heat and sturdy (I don't pamper my cooking tools). And there is something ineffable about cooking in ceramic. It is pricey but I recommend not to every go cheap in the kitchen. If you don't have a lot of money and are just starting out, get this pan and an an olive wood spatula. You'll get a lifetime of joyful cooking out of both. (I had to sent it back several times because it arrived broken...patience will pay off.)

Reviews of Wooden Sushi Press XL /Sushi Mold XL.

Customer Ratings:

If you spend the time making good sushimeshi, and soak the press before each attempt, you will get excellent results. Once pressed I took the top off, quickly turned it upside down and slammed it down onto a cutting board. Every attempt was perfect. I used sashimi grade tuna, avocado, and rice. Absolutely wonderful. Definitely do some research if this is a new thing for you. It is an artform.

I really like owning this item, if only for its look. I love making sushi at home, and this item only adds to my arsenal. It does its job and makes nice looking rectangular pieces. Fairly easy to use once you get used to it. Difficult to clean (reason for only 4 stars). Have begun wrapping top part in plastic to make easier to clean, but bottom piece is a bit of a pain. As stated, I like owning this, but would rather it be plastic or other easy to clean material.

The problem with making sushi is when you cut it, it falls apart! even with a sharp knife... I recommend using seran wrap to keep everything nice fit anf clean. wash right after cause dry rice is a pain to deal with! this works great compared to a regular rolling mat. the slits in this thing make it cake work to cut! now you see there are only 4 slits, which makes big sushi bites and you might look like a chipmunk! now if you are a handy gal or have a handy man around, we cut more slits right in between each of the four already there and it is PERFECT! so deff do that! sushi at home is so much cheaper! nots as gorgeous, but fun to do!

I purchased this set to replace several of the pieces from my original Berndes Signo Cast Set. I purchase a large set about 25 years ago from Williams-Sonoma.

This set has been through daily usage for over 2 decades and even survived teenage kids.

This set was no longer available at Williams-Sonoma-so I decided to look about for a new set. I settled on Calphalon Classic.

I purchased the Calphalon at a big box retailer and brought it home. There was a revolute in the family. I returned the set and began looking about on the internet.

Bingo--found exactly what I needed at Amazon.

Why I like this cookware.

`Heats evenly

`Cleans up like a dream

`Light weight

`Ergonomic`

`Has lasted far longer than any other cookware I have owned

`Good value

Oh and did I tell you that they are made in Germany-NOT China! :)

I could not recommend this set of cookware more highly.

The only other pans I use are Cast Iron when I need to make rue or brown something really well, and all other cooking is done in a Berndes pan. I own all sizes of pans so I have one for every need.

I love my kettle. I bought it back in December and have been using it 3-4 times a day. It's nothing fancy mind you, but it gets the job done.

It could've shipped faster, but so could everything....

Really a good price and a well built kettle...HOWEVER, the handle is not well designed. You may have to tighten the phillips head screw occasionally. Don't overfill. (A fill line is imprinted on the outside.) The whistle is loud, the quality is good. BUT watch that handle.

NOTE: Having used this kettle for 5 months, my impression of it improves. Solid and (with the caveat about the handle) durable. One of those products where 'Made In China' exceeds expectations. I'd buy it again!

Honest reviews on Gibson Mr Coffee Whistling 2-Quart Tea Kettle

I had been using an electric water warmer I had inherited from a former room mate but it seemed to reduce the heat applied to the water as soon as it reached the boiling point. I decided it would be better to have one I can put on the oven burner and keep it as hot as I like, and not have to worry about what a thermostat wants to do. I bought this tea kettle off the shelf while shopping at my local supermarket, thinking it would do and I liked the idea of having a whistle to indicate the water was ready. I was saddened to find that it never actually attained a whistle because so much steam was escaping around the fill hole lid on the top center portion, which happens to be also right where you need to put your hand in order to pick it up, a rather scary thought. So, I am contemplating returning it because I don't see myself wanting to ever use it, considering these less than desirable attributes.

As someone else said (and I should have listened), the design while very attractive, is not ergonomically comfortable to use. It's too tall for the way the handle and spout opener are designed. It's just not balanced properly.

The whistle is loud that's a plus and as I said, it is attractive, but since it's hard to use, I am probably sending it back.

I've owned the 12" pan for well over a year. Initially, I liked it very much, and it sat perfectly flat on my glass-top stove. Since then, the bottom has warped, although the pan has never been abused and gets only light-to-moderate use. That probably happened because the metal is quite thin, which makes for a lightweight pan, but also for one that will deform through use. Had I posted a review shortly after I purchased the pan, I would have given it the four or five stars that the majority of others here gave it. As things stand now, I award it two stars instead of one only because its non-stick qualities are good and have held up well.

I was proud of my new purchase. I cooked eggs on low and cleanup was just rinsing it off under the faucet. However, I noticed that the eggs wanted to run to the sides. I even went to the trouble of rebalancing my Jenn-air stove. I finally put a straight edge on it and determined that there is a high spot in the dead center of the griddle. You could easily state that I probably did not read the instructions and used excessive heat or plunged it into cold water while it was scorching hot. But, you would be wrong. I handled it with kid gloves. I believe the problem is in the layered construction. Different metals expanding at different rates causing the pan to develop a hump in the center. It's too late to return the item so I'm stuck with a thirty dollar griddle that allows everything to run to the edges. On a brighter note, grease runs away from the bacon. I'm glad that I just bought one of these anodized pans and went with the stainless steel 10 Piece Cookware Set by Cuisinart.

I am very pleased with the quality (heft), value and performance of this Cuisinart griddle. I use no cooking spray and eggs, for example, remain totally stick free. The 11 inch size is adequate for a 2 3 person breakfast, but larger families might want a larger surface. Cuisinart, in their product literature stands by the dishwasher safe claim, however they hedge this by noting that dishwasher soaps with lemon should be avoided. This doesn't seem very practical as typically these dishwasher soaps are scented, and I think most folks perfer this. The issue is not enough to knock off a "star" on rating as the griddle never has food stuck to it, and it is thus easy to just quickly wipe down and store away.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart GreenGourmet Tri-Ply Stainless Covered Skillet

Pros:

PTFE & PFOA free

All Natural

Cons:

Not as not stick as other non-sticks

I also bought a ScanPAn frying pan that is very non-stick, more than this one, but still employs PTFE, ugh. With that one, I didn't even need to use a spatula, a small shake released the egg I was frying, flip, cook other side, slide onto plate. Thomas' english muffin with taylor ham and a fried egg. Yay for breakfast. With this one, I still needed to pull out the spatula to gently scrape it off, though no traces of egg was left on it. It is also harder to clean. With the other pan, the instructions say to add cold water once done cooking to use the steam to loosen debris and then just rub with a sponge. It is really that simple without any warping. The Cuisinart still had some issue getting it clean after cooking a piece of meat on it. I don't use heat higher than medium. It is cheaper though than the scanpan which is why I got theirs in 8" and this one in 10". If scan pan's 12" were cheaper I'd get theirs, but I'll settle for this brands due to pricing.

Edited:

I had to come back and edit it after more time using it. It is horrible, beyond belief. The first time was acceptable and I fried an egg sans oil. I've cooked using oil and is still sticks. I need to let food soak with water after cooking just to get to clean it. I'm going to but PAM to use with this pan, though it should not need it. Most non-stick manufacturers will even tell you that it is not recommended as it impedes the not-stick surface from doing it's job, but in this case, it already isn't. I don't heat it past medium, I don'y use abrasives to clean it, and I've cared for it like a baby. Scanpan's stainless steel is so much better, too bad I got an 8" for it, gotta save for the 12" I guess. A well treated cast iron skillet works better than this garbage.

We decided to switch from non-stick cookware to stainless steel because we didn't like using toxic non-stick coating. Additionally, our child was diagnosed with gluten sensitivities and stainless cookware is easier to clean (scratches in coating on other cookware can hide food particles). If you are not accustomed to using stainless cookware, you need to do some research! For starters, ONLY use medium to medium-high heat (never high heat). On my glass top stovetop, my gauge reads 1 through 10, and I typically use 4, 5, or 6 when cooking with stainless.
