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, in the name of corporate interests ,and BIG money, for the filthy rich executives who produce obscenely overpriced products and sell them to trusting consumers.

I love cooking with this pan. The cooking surface area is larger than most pans of this type. However I'm disappointed in how easily It scratches. It works on induction cooktop which is the main reason I bought it. Nothing sticks to it and that is a huge plus. I have tried numerous types and done a lot of research and so far this is the best one I have found!

I have looked for and used several non-stick pans. I am frustrated how after a year all of my previous pans would lose their surface, and no longer be non-stick. I was hoping that I had found the holy grail, and paid well for it. Unfortunately, this pan still sticks, and does not keep up to expectations. Eggs still stick. The pan does wash up well, and is of solid construction. Yet after only using it for a month, the $100 plus price tag was not worth it.

Honest reviews on Download Swiss Diamond Pressure Cast Aluminum Non Sticks

I have owned Swiss Diamond Cookware since it was first released to the public years ago. I love, love, love this cookware! Now I am slowly upgrading to the induction set. One word of caution though, be sure to follow the recommendations when using this cookware, it can become damaged if you do not! Even abused they last & last but will lose nonstick over time. Kids managed to destroy mine :).

I purchased this fry pan because I moved to a new house that has an induction cooktop. It works perfectly on the cooktop with no issues. The pan is quite heavy for it's size. Not as heavy as cast iron but definitely heavier than our old non-stick skillet. Clean up is as easy as can be. Seems to be of top quality and I would no doubt recommend it.
