Swiss Diamond
Swiss Diamond cookware is expensive but it is worth every cent. This stuff heats evenly, cleans up easily and is almost indestructable. Plastic, metal, wood any utensils go! The only down side is that they do retain heat so well it takes quit a while to cool down. But a great product and probably the last ones you'll buy for a long time!
Swiss Diamond Cookware Rocks
I have a couple of Swiss Diamond skillets, which I love, and finally got this stockpot. It's great. It heats well and evenly, and is super-easy to cleanup, just using a regular nylon sponge. The insulated handles let me move a boiling pot of pasta to the strainer without towel or mitts. Regarding durability, I use my cookware in accordance with mfgr's instructions, and have had no problems. I use wooden or plastic utensils, and don't put them in the dishwasher, same way I treat all of my cookware - with care. Perhaps the one-star reviewer here doesn't take the proper care of her equipment. We will continue to replace all of our nonstick cookware (and that which needs to be nonstick) with Swiss Diamond. You get what you pay for, and Swiss Diamond is worth it. BTW, I was using LOOK cookware, but that surface does not perform nearly as well as Swiss Diamond.
Corporate Interests, Big Money, and a big bunch of LIES!!!
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
