Non-stick, right.

By Ray K., California, Verified Reviewer

I received a 12-inch fry pan. In the beginning, it was good/great, and then everything sticks to it, even bacon. That's right, bacon sticks. I think we just hit that milestone that A LOT of products are FAULTY and we the consumer pay for, well, crap. Therefore I changed your name to "Diamond in the Rough!"

Signed, my 2 cents.

Too hot to handle

By Williaw B., Wyoming, NY, Verified Reviewer

I would not buy another Blue Diamond Pan, the handle gets so hot that it not only burns your hands, it even burns your wooden utensils. I don't know why anyone would put a product that would burn you on the market without testing it first. Shame on you.

The WORST

By Patricia L., Kentucky, Verified Reviewer

Received as a gift yesterday. This morning I made my kids bacon eggs and potatoes. First, the bacon, it stuck immediately, potatoes of course stuck even with added oil (yuck), was going to make over-easy eggs but ended up scrambled (the dog loved them), wish I could say the same about the rest of us! DO NOT BUY THIS. Better off going to your nearby dollar store than buying this. I am sure the positive reviews came from employees or people whe never cook and like the color or something like that.

Bad cookware set

By Evelyn L., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I bought 3 sets at the Blue Diamond complete cookware set. They are not dishwasher safe. They are chipping and I've never used metal utensils in them. Even if you use oil, they stick. I've only used 2 sets, the third set I haven't used yet. Totally, totally dissatisfied, I called customer service, they give me another number to call and all I got was I'll leave a message and no one is gone back with me. I can say is wow. Not worth the money, my Paula Deen set holds up better than these half.

False advertising

By Cliff M., California, Verified Reviewer

Bought this pan at Target. As they say, you get what you pay for. This pan is total junk after a couple of weeks as far as being non stick. Very difficult to scrub clean after frying.

Worst pan purchase to date. Non-stick fails in weeks.

By Dave N., Louisville, KY, Verified Reviewer

I normally don't write reviews concerning cookware, but after seeing how quickly this pan fails and spending $30+ on it, I felt compelled to warn others. The ONLY thing good about this pan is that it did not warp over the 6 weeks I've used it. The non-stick fails faster than even cheap Teflon pans and is worthless after only 5 weeks of daily use. This was with the utmost care taken to hand clean and not overheat it and not use metal utensils on it. The first few times I used it, I loved it (and thought "finally, an alternative to teflon coating that works"), but after about the 10th or so use, I noticed things began to stick. I thought to myself, "ok, this is the worst it will get", but I was wrong. Everything sticks to it now. I've never seen a pan go bad so quickly (mind you, I've tried the expensive white ceramic non-sticks - and they're only good for 9 months (though it was washed in the dishwasher - my mistake), so I figured Blue Diamond had to be better (I certainly looked nice!), but, alas, it was a complete waste of money.

Too bad as it's a sturdy and well-built pan - transfers heat excellently. Blue Diamond needs to reformulate and test in the real world before going to market!

Junk!

By Terry G., Minnesota, Verified Reviewer

About 3 weeks ago I purchased one of these junk fry pans from Kohl's. Worked great for the first 5 or 6 times I used it - but now it’s virtually useless. Everything sticks to it! I only cooked over-easy eggs and one time it cooked pancakes with it. The pan was never heated over medium-low and never longer than 15 minutes at a time. The issue is not that the pan was overheated. So total cook time is only a few hours before the nonstick no longer worked. Avoid this pan!

Disappointed

By Marlene C., Woodruff, SC, Verified Reviewer

I bought 10pc, 12in and 4pc frypan set in February of this year and the fry pans are now sticking horribly. I am very disappointed in this product. It was my first time buying and will be my last. Not sure how to go about contacting customer service as all leads come to a dead end.

Dissatisfied customer.

Disappointed

By Cheryl W., Kinston, NC, Verified Reviewer

Bought the full set a little over 1 year ago. At first, they were great, but now, everything sticks. No matter what we cook, everything sticks. We thought we finally found a set of cookware that we would have for a while, but now we are shopping for a new set of cookware that definitely WILL NOT be Blue Diamond. Sadly we recommended it to our family and friends, who also purchased the set, and they too are having the same problem and have to replace their cookware. Truly a waste of money.

Lousy pan, no support

By Gregory F., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

We bought this pan at Target figuring it would be better than a generic pan.

WRONG!

Everything has started sticking to it you can't clean it even with Comet and a scrubber.

I wrote to the company, they are full of crap. Their website says they have full discretion on whether or not to replace a damaged pan.

They wrote me back saying if I wanted a new pan I would have to send the old one back along with proof of purchase (like people keep all their receipts?) along with $8.95 for shipping of the new one...now...I didn't get a passing grade in advanced math but even if I did have the receipt it's going to cost at least $10.00 to ship this crap back to them and then 9 bucks for shipping? Ok, that's 19 bucks, which is what it cost to buy this piece of crap.

Bottom line: them and their crappy POS pan. I'm going to post as many bad reviews that I can including a YouTube video showing the junky burned out pan and their non-guarantee and BS correspondence.

Unhappy consumer

By Frieda R., North Bend, OR, Verified Reviewer

I have a 10-inch fry pan I purchased because of good reviews. It has stuck from day one. It sticks every time even when I use oil. When it sticks it stains, I have to soak it forever to get it clean, even then it doesn't come clean. I will never purchase another.

Blue Diamond no-stick pan

By Denny D., Madoc, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Do yourself a favor and save your money, this pan may be strong but the handle gets hot during cooking on the stove and the pan is not no-stick. I got mine as a gift last Christmas and it was good for a while and then it started to stick with everything. I have hand washed this pan since day one and I didn’t understand why it’s sticking. We can't even cook bacon without it making a terrible mess. I will never ask for another one again!

Pan sucks

By Matt P., Cambridge, IL, Verified Reviewer

Works fine until you scratch the surface, metal utensil safe, don't think so. I have not had the pan one month, already junk, everything sticks to it, can't get the stuck-on food when cleaning it. As far as I am concerned, the biggest rip off and false advertisement I have seen or dealt with in many years. I am going to tell everybody about it and going to use my pan that I paid $30 for it as example of your false advertisement, thank you very much.

Do not waste your money, starts out amazing until coating wears off

By Jenness S., Texas, Verified Reviewer

I absolutely loved this pan for 4 months. Cleanup was easy, only a paper towel to wipe away excess and brand new. I tend to keep all pots oiled slightly but clean between uses. Used only silicon tools with it. My BF, ONE TIME, used metal tongues with hard nylon edges to turn over meat about 3 weeks ago and he is a very good cook so I know he wasn't just raking the pan and now the pan is useless. There are 100 tiny minuscule scratches now and everything sticks. It was NYLON edges - the metal wasn't even connecting.

This morning I tried to make eggs, put organic coconut oil (too much) in the pan and gently cracked open eggs into it. Even the oldest pans it would not stick in that much oil. I couldn't even get the eggs up without breaking them. Threw it in the trash. Just worthless.

It states you can use metal but that's a lie - you can't even use hard nylon. Nothing advertised is true.

I noticed that even with the most gentle care that it was starting to not be as good after 4 months - so perhaps the coating had worn with consistent daily albeit gentle as a feather use, that even nylon ruined it.

Don't waste your money. I'm really annoyed at how mad I am at this pan because at first, I was so happy with it.

Pan is crap

By Ed H., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

My wife bought a Blue Diamond frying pan. The first time I used it I almost burned my hand on the handle. Can't pick up by handle with a hot pad. Next problem is the non-stick wears off fast. Can't make eggs without butter in the pan. The pan will go in the trash can. Don't waste your money.

Never buying Blue Diamond Pan again.

By Tracy L., South Carolina, Verified Reviewer

Bought the largest fry pan 9" inside cooking area and 11 inches rim to rim, was great first 2 times using. Loved how it cooked! Cleanup was easy. BUT since those 2 times and thereafter, every time I cook, the pan won't come completely clean.

It leaves a brown sticky residue. I loved the size of the fry pan, very disappointed because they are not a cheap fry pan, grateful I didn't buy any more than 1 pan.

Worst marketing trap I ever fell into

By Florian E., Germany, Verified Reviewer

Worst marketing trap I ever fell into. The food is sticking to the pan, mostly the center of the pan. And I even know why!

Because the fat is only flowing to the sides! It's supposed to NOT start bending in the middle? Well...it didn't start bending, it already was bent when I bought it!

Most of the skillets and griddle product line stick

By Jim L., Paris, KY, Verified Reviewer

I had purchased the skillets and griddles line of Blue Diamond Pans. With hopes to have an entire set of actual non-stick cookware, I use most. Followed every manufacturer's recommendation and to my disbelief, the poor performance of every pan but the small skillet. To this day, that one pan is doing great. Every other pan sticks terribly unless you spray/oil it heavily. Did not keep the receipt trusting the hype. So keep your receipt! You're going to need it. I personally don't recommend purchasing them!

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Small skillet is the only pan worked as stated, great omelet pan

Every other pan in the lin,e except the small skillet, did not work as stated

Food sticks and stuck worse more used

Griddle, food sticks even with spray and very hard to clean residue

Does not work as claimed

Can't recommend this product

By Frank M., Tampa, FL, Verified Reviewer

I bought a total of 5 pots and pans with lids and 1 free very small egg fry pan, in February. The handles are too small and narrow (not ergonomic) and get hot, the non-stick finish is sticking all the time (never used spray oils), and the pot top edges are sharp, not rounded or burred. Now all the pots and pans are flaking/chipping inside and at the top edges of the pans. Will soon be throwing these in the recycle bin.

False warranty

By Rick D., Mertztown, PA, Verified Reviewer

After purchasing an 11-piece set of Blue Diamond, we opened the box and found that the 9.5" fry pan had 2 marks/scratches on it. After reaching out, they never sent the e-mail to follow up on how to see about getting the pan replaced. Called a week later and the 1st customer service rep never put it through. Got the e-mail finally, sent them pictures, as they asked, and they replied by saying that it wasn't a manufacturer defect and that it was from our use of it. We didn't even use it! Horrible way to do business for a company that guarantees their products so wholeheartedly. Will not be using any of the products that the company offers at all.

We used the large saute pan and it seemed to be ok, as did the large pot to boil water for pasta.

Good advertising of a crappy product

By Ted K., Raleigh, NC, Verified Reviewer

I've had T-fal pans for over a decade. The surfaces were still slick but the bottoms were unclean-able so I decided to upgrade. I was leaning toward the Titanium pans until I saw the BD ad showing the titanium pot's surface would break down after time. So I purchased a full set of the BD brand trusting the advertiser's statements. I purchased the set through Amazon and when they arrived I discarded my trusty T-fal pots. After the first use of the small saucepan, I noticed it had begun to chip. I contacted the manufacture about the lifetime warranty. They told me I needed to deal with the distributor. Amazon wanted me to send the entire set back before I could get a replacement. The shipping was more than the cost of the one failed pot so I took the loss. Now it's been a year and everything sticks to these crappy pots. Making this the MOST EXPENSIVE set of pots I've ever purchased.
