From Wikipedia "Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. So those who want to avoid the offgasing of non stick products may want to think twice about this one as well. So even though they advertise their products as not having Teflon, it is made with the exact same materials as those called Teflon, they just don't use the Teflon name. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.". Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938.
Both didn't come close to Swiss Diamond. Highly recommend. I recieved the 12 1/2", it comes with a lid. I have tried Ultrex, non stick and Revere stainless, neither with good results. Limited to the fact I don't cook commercially or abuse the pan. Even heating, even on burner that is not as large as pan,great browning and nothing sticks. Little pricey, but I will never have to buy another non stick pan again, this one has a limited lifetime warranty. I used it to make panfry dumplings.
It is big. I have a Miele electric cooktop which has a burner large enough for this skillet. The outside diameter is 13" and the bottom is almost 9 3/4". I saw an unused All-Clad skillet from their new line at Williams-Sonoma and it had scratches on the non-stick surface. It requires a large burner.
I have been looking for a good non-stick skillet. I found what I was looking for. It is made in Switzerland. The food browned evenly over the surface of the skillet. I only have a small issue with the lid. The lid assembly was easy. Overall, I am very pleased with this skillet.
However, during washing water gets into the steam vent and then it comes out after the lid is dried. I've used non-stick skillets from All-Clad and Calphalon but they all had one problem: peeling of the non-stick layer. I have tried it over a smaller burner and it worked as well. It takes few drying sweeps to avoid water streaks on the lid. I am looking forward to getting more skillets from Swiss Diamond. The cleaning is easy. This fry pan is excellent.
I ended up with a 11" pan instead b/c the 12.5 doesn't fit in my dishwasher. Unlike traditional non-stick, this one goes in the oven and browns nicely. This is a great non-stick pan.
