Blue Diamond Pan

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.

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

I bought the Broiler Pan yesterday from Bed, Bath & Beyond and used it today. After unpacking, rinse out the pan, put on the stove, put 2 chicken breasts (after seasoning with McCormick chicken season) in the pan, turned on stove and cooked. No oil had to be used and the chicken breasts cooked quickly and were absolutely delicious. I called 3 of my friends and told them to go out and buy 1 of these pans. The money for the pan was very well spent.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Purchased the square griddle from Kohls, worked fine the first 2 times, cleaned up good. The 3rd time I used it, it started to smoke and the pancakes stuck and burned to it. I bought the pan solely to make pancakes on, nothing else has been on it and I use a plastic spatula and medium heat, the middle bowed up and now the pan is bent slightly sideways so it does not lay flat anymore. Very disappointed in this product. It did not clean up well at all, now it has some burnt black specks on it that I could not get off and hazy marks. All from just pancakes.

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

I bought the 10-inch fry pay about 2 weeks ago at Walmart. I have used it several times and I am happy with it. I do not use metal, most of the time. If I do (one time), I am very careful not to scrape it. No problems. I NEVER use oil sprays, as the instructions say to not do so. I think lots of people who have written did probably use spray oils. Most of those are bad for people also.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love the pans but the 11-inch has started to stick after 10 months of use. They have been hand washed and only used with silicone tools. What is your warranty? Do they still have a warranty that is still good or they are only expected to only last a year.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

These pans started peeling and chipping after just a few months of light wear. Reached out to the company and was told that, "The great thing is that our products are free of PTFE, PFOA, cadmium, and lead, so scratches, dents, or pits in the Thermolon coating will not affect the safety nor the performance of the pan."

This was her answer to me complaining about the coating flaking off in my food. I have only gotten the runaround from this company, they have no shame.

The pans are junk and customer service is a joke!

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Blue Diamond is easily the worst pan I ever purchased. Food sticks to it since day one. I use oil or butter but the food still sticks like crazy. Forget about frying eggs in it. It turns eggs into garbage. Highly disappointed.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Purchased 1 month ago, used regularly and has developed a greasy film on the cooking surface which we are unable to remove with normal hand-washing cleaning routines. Product cooks well.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I received a set for Christmas, and I love how they cool, but like I said, the frying pans each ended with a chip in them just after if used a knife to cut some meat open to see how well it was cooked. Would recommend to a friend as long as I told them about my dealings with the pans.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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!

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

The BEST non-stick pan I have ever used, and my husband thinks so, too! We have had zero problems with these pans and use them for everything that we can! They look great, cook great with no sticking, and clean easier than any other pans we have had! We love them so much, that we bought some for the Christmas exchange game that our family plays, and it was one of the most desired gifts!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Our 12-inch Blue Diamond fry pan won't cook eggs without sticking to the pan badly. I have 3 other pans that do very well cooking anything. There is an issue with this 12-inch pan and what am I to do?

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Light cooking for six months - now scratches and flecks out on the base of the pan. Horrible! Don’t waste your time or money. So much for being tough and durable. This is not a good product.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

After a year of light use, can’t scrub it clean. Eggs stick to the pan but the worst thing is it won’t come clean. Somehow it got scratched. We only use soft Teflon tools on it.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

I bought the complete set. I have only used the skillet to make omelets. I’ve used it perhaps 8-10 times. The pan doesn’t have a single scratch on it shows minimal to no wear but everything now sticks. This is a complete waste of money, don’t buy it.

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

I have the 8-inch sauté pan. Almost every time I use the pan, it leaves a sticky, gluey-like substance on my glass top stove, which I have to scrub for a long time to remove. I'm throwing this piece of crap out. Do not buy!

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

I've bought several non-stick pans as long as I can remember. Thirty years ago I bought non-stick pans that lasted a short while and the coating started to come off.

Recently I bought a Copper Chef: it worked fine, but it warped and all the frying would drift to the outer section of the pan. Bought the Blue Diamond Pan; it doesn't warp, doesn't stick, works exactly as advertised. I would have to give this pan a 5-star rating.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have the large fry pan, even under any heat bacon will stick, let alone other food types. I have never had bacon stick to any type of pan before, do not waste your money on this product.

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

I bought two Blue Diamond pans, an 8" and 10" just in the last few days. I have used a 12" Green Pan, which I have found out is a product of the same company, for about a year now with no problems. These were bought to replace a 10" stainless pan which was difficult to clean and a cheap 8" Teflon pan which I did not like.

I bought Blue Diamond because the Blue Diamond pans can be used in the oven at a higher temperature than the Green Pan.

I am confident the Green Pan will last at least several more years, but then I cook just for myself and do not subject these to extremely heavy use.

I am getting the idea that the Blue Diamond surface is an experimental product idea that might or might not work out well in actual use.

If they don't, it's not a huge loss, I paid about $40 for the two of them. When you consider, even a fast food meal can cost $15 nowadays depending on what you order, it won't be much of a loss if I have to replace these pans in maybe two years. I'll just write it off as a product concept the industry tried that didn't work out very well.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After a week of use, even bacon was sticking. Once the pan was cool it was easy to clean but everything would stick on the next use. After cleaning a pan bottom with baking soda and vinegar, I tried that on the inside of the frying pan. That restored the nonstick surface for a couple of uses if using butter and low heat. It's a pain, but I won't throw the pan away now.
