Kitchen Aid Cookware: Swiss Diamond Covered Fry Pan

I heard about Swiss Diamond over on the food forum & was in need of a small nonstick "egg" pan.

The person loved their s.d. so much that I thought I'd give one a try. I guess I've had it about 3 months & use it every day.It browns food well, cooks evenly, & is a breeze to clean.

I have a big drawer full of All-Clad....which I love.....but a little nonstick pan like this DOES have it's uses in my kitchen.

I have to admit that I've been treating my new baby carefully even tho they say you don't have to.We'll see how it lasts over the long haul.

I'm thinking about getting the whole set. It's about the same price as a pan & a half of the All-Clad.

PS.I often read criticism about the use of n.s. cookware but I've noticed most cooks I've seen on tv use them for certain things.......including Julia Child & Jacques Pepin.

EDIT May 2010

I have been using this dandy little pan at least twice a day for over 9 months & still love it.I haven't experienced any flaking or chipping of the non-stick material but I don't use metal with it & hand wash.The clean-up is every easy.
