This large, 10-1/4-inch pressure cast aluminum fry pan is perfect for preparing most medium to large dishes. It features Swiss Diamond"s patented diamond reinforced non-stick cooking surface. The diamond crystals combined with nano-technology (the science of arranging substances at the molecular level) are the key to this virtually indestructible surface. Each pan is made using up to 200,000 diamond crystals to reinforce the premium non-stick composite. This new, unique non-stick cooking surface allows food to release from the pan easier than ever before and makes cleanup effortless. Diamonds are four times more conductive than copper, ten times more than aluminum and a hundred times more than titanium-this allows for uniform heat conductivity from the center of the pan to the outer edge, without hotspots. With Swiss Diamond non-stick pans, you can brown, saute, deglaze and even produce a fond, the pan drippings that brown and ad such rich flavor and taste to gravies and sauces. Surface will not peel, crack or blister. Pan also features Swiss Diamond"s revolutionary, high tech induction designed base which does not use a bonded or braised encapsulated bottom or disk. This makes it perfect for all induction stop tops. Ergonomically designed handle; handle will stay cool up to 500 Fahrenheit. Ok for use with metal utensils. Dishwasher safe. Made in Switzerland. Limited lifetime warranty.
