Product Description

This 6-piece set contains an 8-inch skillet, a 10-inch skillet, a 2.2-quart saucepan, and a 4.3-quart stockpot. This unique configuration provides the best sizes all combined into one set. The 8-inch and 10-inch skillets represent the most popular sizes and are perfect for sauteing. The 2.2-quart saucepan is ideal for sauces, gravies, rice, and small quantities of soup. The 4.3-quart stockpot is great for larger quantities of soup, sauces, and gravies. Swiss Diamond cookware is a revolutionary cooking surface using up to 200,000 diamond crystals in each pan to reinforce the premium nonstick composite. It is so durable that Swiss Diamond cookware carries a lifetime limited warranty against cracking, blistering, or peeling. Since diamonds are four times more conductive than copper, ten times that of aluminum, and one hundred times better than titanium, no other nonstick pan can compare to the uniform heat conductivity of Swiss Diamond--from the center of the pan to the outer edge without hotspots. Swiss Diamond cookware brings together all the most important techniques you expect from a high-quality cookware set, browning, deglazing, and even producing a fond--the pan drippings that brown and add such rich flavor and taste to gravies and sauces. This set is an Amazon.com exclusive--you won't find it anywhere else!

1.0 out of 5 stars All foods stick to this cookware!, January 10, 2009

My experience is the opposite of the reviews posted here.

I followed all instructions and cook at medium heat or lower. Yet, the only things that I cook, that is, oatmeal and congee (rice soup) both stick to the pot. I need to soak the pot in water for the food to dislodge.

Definitely NOT worth the more than $200 I spent on the set.

Better to buy a cheap teflon pan set and get better results.

This cookware seems very durable and well engineered. Sturdy handles, venting lids, solid and nice weight. Nothing seems to stick to it. In my opinion the value is much better than calphalon cookwares and will probably outlast all others that we have tried.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a DISHONEST company !, May 16, 2009

So here we have a pan marketed as being made with diamonds that render the surface "indestructible." It's hyped up with cool-sounding technology jargon like "nano-composite." The manufacturer blatantly claims the product contains no Teflon whatsoever, and says the pan is safe for your health.

But what's the reality here? In reality:

* The nano-composite non-stick cooking surface is made primarily with PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon.
* The pan is marketed as a product that contains NO Teflon and is safe for your health.
* The non-stick surface scratches easily with a common fork.
* Scratching the surface with a household fork causes microscopic bits of the composite material (PTFE and diamonds) to be released into the food being cooked, whereby they are swallowed by consumers.
* The marketing of Swiss Diamond cookware heavily emphasizes "diamonds" while seemingly going out of its way to avoid mentioning Teflon or PTFE chemicals. It appears to give consumers the impression that they are "cooking on diamonds."
* Consumers are being widely misled into believing that this product is an alternative to Teflon when, in reality, it's made of the same thing as Teflon!
* Swiss Diamond pans are being marketed by some of the best-known retailers and catalog companies in the world, including Amazon.com, NextTen catalog and hundreds of others.
